Week 40: Migration Debate, Bernd das Brot and Community
In this episode of Plus Forty Nine, we sort through some major shifts in Germany’s political landscape. From Manfred Webers call for a fresh approach to migration, highlighting the critical role migrants play in filling key jobs like healthcare to Germany ramping up efforts to attract skilled workers, especially after the U.S. dramatically raised visa fees for top talent. In culture, we focus on a uniquely German TV icon: Bernd das Brot, the famously grumpy bread who recently made waves on US late-night TV. Our guest this week is Rebeca, a trainer who shares her experience as an expat building community in Berlin and a heartfelt love letter to the city. And in Ask a German, we explore the curious question of why Germans seem to stare so much.
