Episode 202: Haferflocken Hell

Decades From Home - A Podcast About Germany

It’s an action packed episode this week, which isn’t good news for Nic who seems to be a little under the weather. Luckily Kat has a sure fire remedy, although it might not pack as much of a punch as Nic’s less complicated concoction.
From medicine to language, we review the vote and various controversies over the 2024 Jugendwort des Jahres and find out which new bit of English will be invading the conversations of under-25s across Germany for the next year or so.

We also find time to discuss the media panic in England over the appointment of a German to the top job in English men’s football, discuss the results of a study into the 4-day-week from German companies, and we finish by discovering the best tourist destinations in Germany from an AI influencer.
