• About this blog

  I’m really delighted to be the presenter of Talking Germany. Each week we have a new guest – and what fascinating people they are. Each of them has made his or her own very special contribution to making Germany such a vibrant and dynamic country. And it’s always interesting to find out how they tick by talking with them not just during the show but also before and after.

It goes without saying: we look forward to hearing your comments, too!

Here then are some of the most recent selections.
