Podcast
After spending time as a tour guide, I became frustrated by only being able to discuss Berlin and German history. I wanted to explore stories from around the world—because history everywhere is fascinating! This led me to launch the podcast, originally called “The History Buff,” now rebranded as the Ministry of History Podcast.
Berlin: Capital of the Twentieth Century
So I might be a little bit biased as a tour guide that lives here, but Berlin has a pretty incredible story.
In this first episode of The History Buff (now The Ministry of History), you will be taken through Berlin's tumultuous history from when it was the Prussian and then Imperial German capital, through the good times of the Golden Twenties, over the ruins of the Nazi capital, tracing the Wall that divided Berlin for 28 years to finish up at the newly unified Berlin at the end of the twentieth century.
