Dear Listeners, you can stream this special episode below or download Shtetl Berlin here.
This fall Shtetl took a radio road trip to Berlin. Ukrainian DJs, Israeli sex workers, “degenerate” satirists, Roma art, queer bars, Kreuzberg, drag Passover seders, sheisse disturbers, philosemitism, Jewish breathing lessons….currywurst! We set off to discover this European capital with a heavy history and an uber trendy present. Click on the play button below to join us for the trip. (The building in the picture is a common site in Berlin. The graffiti reads, “We will all stay!”)

And, executive producer, baby Nathan, who at 11 months old showed discernment, scheduled interviews, and puked on the trendiest bars and cafes that Berlin has to offer.
WOW!!! Shtetl Berlin is going to be so cool. I’m very excited to listen to Friday’s show.

Fun! I really enjoyed the ride. The last Sheise-disturber, the woman who gave the Jewish breathing workshop, was very cool. You guys did a good job at tackling an immense subject: I look forward to the next instalment. Will we be hearing from Baby Nathan?
