I’ve loved catching up on some episodes of The Germany Experience, especially the language learning related ones today! Thank you for making this podcast :)

I listened to the show on German idioms and the first half was just utter drivel. Thereafter a few idioms were covered and again it was like pulling teeth; excuse the pun. Honestly, just get on with it. No one cares how your day, week, or even year’s been, we’re here for the title description....Read full review »

This is my first time listening. I listened to the episode interviewing Elizabeth and her experiences in Germany. Really funny and totally relatable. I’ve lived in and visited many places (including Germany) and the same themes apply regardless of locale. I appreciate that the conversation talked...Read full review »

I thoroughly enjoy this podcast. My husband, daughter and I will be moving to Germany in March, and although our experience will be slightly different than the average since we’re a military family, it’s still helpful to hear what other people have to say about their experience living there. The...Read full review »

I’ve been listening for a few months now working my way through your catalog. I was admitted to do my Master’s degree in Germany this year but deferred one year due to the pandemic. Listening to this show both helps me know what to expect and prepare for my move; as well as keeps me excited while...Read full review »

Shaun is a wonderful podcast host and asks thoughtful, engaging questions. I’m an American in Berlin but I used to live in Cape Town so his accent is a huge bonus :)

As a world travelling tech industry expat, I recently accepted a transfer to Munich. From my shelter in Japan while waiting for lockdowns to end, it’s been hard to find current info on life in Germany from a working career and family perspective. Shaun’s very professional and fun podcast has...Read full review »

Shaun is really committed to finding a nice mix of guests. The interviews are a great mix of informative, anecdotal, personal, and logistical. I like Shaun’s sense of humor. Thanks for making us newbies in Germany have a sense of community.

Shaun is a great host and have great guests. The podcasts gives us different stories from people that decided to lives in Germany, and sometimes the views from Germans themselves. Together they build a resourceful podcast that helps you prepare for differences and peculiarities you will find...Read full review »

I came across this podcast when I was part of the parkrun group interviewed for one of the earlier podcasts. I have become a regular listener (having never really been a podcast listener before). I have lived in Germany for 7 years and to listen to other people’s experiences and realize that I am...Read full review »

While I might be tolerated as a tourist, welcomed even, my age alone would prevent me from being long term German resident potential. Nevertheless, I am bingeing on episodes of The Germany Experience thanks to the fascinating, entertaining guests What an amazing cross-section of people—I hope...Read full review »

I love hearing these interviews, and comparing the experiences of modern-day expats with mine from the year I spent in Germany in the late 1960’s. Shaun and his guests approach the subject of adapting to life in Germany with humor, exceptional insight, and a display of sentiment. Thanks to all of...Read full review »

Each episode has something that speaks to me... I love it! I found the Fasching episode interesting because not all of us are big fans of it. There are pros and cons to wherever you live. Dankeschön 😊

I’ve been a fan of this podcast for a few months now, and it’s only getting better as Shaun settles into a unique style and direction. He’s got a great radio voice, and takes the time plan out his interviews and topics well, with impressive editing. I’m excited to see what he’s got in store...Read full review »

Obnoxious, the host talking about these German celebrations that are wonderful, fun, glorious, and all he can do is whine about how he hates them Go back to South Africa then. Let someone else do the segment on Fasching, Rosenmontag. Not impressive. Thinking of deleting.

Very lively podcast with a whole bunch of stories and practical advices. Way to go Shaun!
Timothep via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 08/07/19
So many different stories of people with diverse backgrounds end up discovering the joys (and sometimes woes) of living in Germany. Thanks to Shaun we get to hear and learn from them! Hope to enjoy many more new episodes... :)
