Episode 3 season 1 KillingEve

On your discussion about Germany, have you ever heard of the Weimar Republic? Also Berlin is quite liberal as most big cities are, after the ‘68 generation, and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
One last thing, the episode is not called Workaholics, but Don’t I know you?
Otherwise, interesting discussions.
