I enjoy the variety of information provided on a wide range of topics. My one bugbear is Rachel's inability to pronounce her 't's' - drives me crazy. I say this as a fellow Scott.Read full review »

I really like this show to hear about current affairs and culture in Germany. However the constant political biases expressed by Aaron Burnett by qualifying everything he describes is becoming too much to take. Please find somebody else who is trained in neutral journalism and not agenda driven...Read full review »

Quick, easy, fun, and informative. I definitely recommend this is if you live, or are just interested in Germany.

good podcast. Also for Germans who get a different perspective on current affairs from foreign journalists. Love it. Would be great if there was also a transcript of the program.

An almost unmitigated left wing woke and naive commentary. For objective fact best avoided.

Great information for those of us not (yet) fluent in German and unable to read the local or national German news (yet). My only advice, the two female presenters (from the UK) are at times a bit too giggly, too teenage-like. Other than that, the information presented is appreciated.

The Local produces such interesting and professional podcasts with hosts that seem like relatable regular folks.

Glad...Read full review »

Pleasant podcast to learn more about German current events

Love this podcast. The topics discussed are spot on and the hosts explore them at such a helpful fidelity. There’s so much expat-in-Germany content out there that feels superficial / repetitive / recycled, but they manage to highlight these issues (and more) in a fresh, meaningful way. Rachel and...Read full review »

…not only for English speaking people! It‘s also very useful to practice your English as German and to learn how curious your „normal“ life appears to people coming from outside the country!

Os acompanho em todas as plataformas disponível e também sou um apoiador do trabalho deles. Informação de qualidade e tempestiva sobre a terra da batata!

If you know „The Local,“ you know the style - practical information for newcomers to Germany, with helpful history and context, delivered in a friendly and approachable way.
