... explores our city through different lenses, with episode topics such as:
Kevin and Sarah explore the daily life of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen with Sarah Kushner, an exchange student from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
They say that baseball is as American as apple pie and American football is, well, quintessentially American as well. Or are they? Listen in as Kevin and Sarah unpack two very American sports in a place you might not expect. Whether you’re the real MVP or always picked last for the baseball team, there’s a bit of something for everyone in our sports episode.
Special thanks to Alex Tufts from the Tübingen Hawks Baseball team and Markus Flach, Nelson Stegmaier, Dominique “Sunny” Wernando and Julian Wagner from the Tübingen Red Knights Football team for taking the time to interview with us!
As evidenced by the recent Global Climate Demonstration and the ongoing protests with Fridays for Future, people are standing up to demand political action that combats climate change. But what does “going green” look like at the local level? What individual habits of a populace make a city “green”? What political strategies are involved? And for that matter, how does one “go green” in Germany? This episode discusses these questions and more, examining green initiatives in both Tübingen and Ann Arbor, MI from the standpoint of city hall, with an interview with Tübingen’s Green mayor, Boris Palmer, and from the point of view of everyday citizens.
Special thanks to the Lord Mayor of Tübingen, Boris Palmer, for inviting us to the Rathaus and taking the time to speak with us!
