What do you get when you have two American Expats and one German Expat talk about a book by a former American Expat living in 1990’s Former East Germany? This culturally windy episode dripping with heaps of blasted stereotypes, linguistic gems and lots of laughter. We are delighted to have Nicole Palazzo, Host of the Expat Cast Podcast on the show today. Her interview with me in February this year on the Expat Cast is a big reason why Bookish Expats exists so danke Nicole! More on the book that we talked about below, but first, let's pay some pod bills.
Schadenfreude, A Love Story: Me, the Germans, and 20 Years of Attempted Transformations, Unfortunate Miscommunications, and Humiliating Situations That Only They Have by Rebecca Shuman is book that Nicole selected. Former Guest of Bookish Expats, Tatjana, a German expat currently living in India, was kind enough to co-interview Nicole with me. Nicole read this book years ago, before she moved to Germany and reread it just before Tatjana and I interviewed her. Is it presumptuous to say that this reread was a bit cathartic for her? Have a listen and let me know what you think.
