With the holidays coming so fast I thought that I’d better take some time to get out another episode to you right away. I love the winter holidays and I especially love them in Germany, where a lot of tradition, good food and a cozy atmosphere are always on hand. Read the whole post ⇒

in recognition of this 13th episode I thought that it might be fun to talk a bit about some common superstitions in Germany. I wouldn’t really consider Germans more superstitious than any other nationality, indeed many of the same superstitions about good and bad luck that we English speakers have are to be found in Germany. There are, however, several which are particular to Germany and you can hear all about them (some of them) here.

Hope you enjoy the podcast and I look forward to your comments!

In this episode I am joined by one of my brothers, Tom (just back from Thailand via Dubai), and together we tackle the topic of German stereotypes.

Tom has lived and worked in Germany before as well as in Asia, so he brings a unique view to the subject. The stereotypes about Germans that we discuss (to debunk or justify) are:
points 1 - 3 were originally discussed in the first episode of the myGermany Podcast
