podcasts about Berlin’s places and history

Over the last years Jason Honea and Rinus van Alebeek, together with Adrian Shephard have been making shows for Radio On Berlin. Jason and Rinus did the talking, Adrian recorded and edited the podcasts. Earlier shows were made by Nikolas Schreck and Jason.

We dived into the history of well-known places, like Alexanderplatz, the Lustgarten on the Museuminsel (podcast)or Hitler’s Bunker, but went also to places, that are a bit off the beaten track, like the Grazer Damm or the Baumschulenweg (podcast).

You can find a complete list of these podcasts on the website of Radio On Berlin, all ready for listening if you use spotify.

podcast: Lustgarten Berlin, part two

In this podcast you will hear a whirlwind of stories about one of the oldest places in Berlin, the Lustgarten. Gnostic revelations, dogs, tulips and the failed attempt on Hitler. Crowds, mass rallies and revolutions, crypts and citizens, it’s all there, the story of Berlin’s history changing shape like a flight of starlings.

This show was recorded and edited by Adrian Shephard.
