Yet another Expat - Weird News & Random Stories

Yet another Expat - Weird News & Random Stories

A short-form comedy podcast for anyone who loves random facts, absurd headlines, and the occasional travel disaster. Hosted by me, a usually tired millennial living in Berlin. Each 20–35 min episode is a mix of strange news, everyday chaos, weird science, pop culture tangents, parenting moments, and stories you didn’t ask for but might retell. No relocation guides, no fake guru advice — just quick, sarcastic, and oddly informative takes to make your commute, coffee break, or laundry folding a little more fun.
