DANKE & THANK YOU for three amazing years! 🫶 Check out Rachel Stewart's new DW podcast "Don't Drink the Milk" ▸ruclips.net/video/VOKSDX-MZos/видео.htmlsi=mjOP1GnwLdeqy6Mn (also available on audio platforms!)
We have to thank for this beautiful podcast. It was a pleaure to hear you two for 78 episodes, learning so much about the cultures. I will miss this podcast... and i will miss Josh.... i like this guy.
I really loved the very first videos with Josh on your RUclips channel and was super excited when you two guys announced the podcast. Even though I'm a little sad you guys stopped the podcast, I want to say thanks for your content which was always entertaining and truly an enrichment! Hope to see you two on the RUclips channel together every now and then 😄
What I really liked was this was a chance for Feli to be herself. I know there are a few unscripted FFG videos (still waiting for the next Q&A 😜) but Josh seems to bring out something appealing in her personality when they are just talking. I hope to see Josh as a guest on future FFG videos from time to time, All the best to Feli and Ben and to Josh and his "SO" whomever he may be.
Oh, I'm going to miss these so much! Thank you for all these episodes. They have been so educational and interesting. And your accent guess series have been fun too. Best of luck Josh, and don't be a stranger. I'm really hoping you'll be able to do irregular episodes occasionally. Now that I've gotten to the end of it, with tears in my eyes, I'll add that I was here from Episode 1. Thank you so much for all the effort you've put into these.
I don't remember how I knew about the podcast, probably from Feli's RUclips channel, but I've watched them on youtube from the very beginning. I'm going to miss it, but completely understand that it was bound to end eventually. Wishing you both the best going forward and hope to see a rare but occasional "Special episode". Auf Wiedersehen, Au Revoir but not Good bye. Or as they say "See you later, alligator"
Ihr wisst glaube ich gar nicht wie sehr ihr mir mit diesem Podcast geholfen habt - und damit meine ich nicht nur die Themen die ihr behandelt habt und das Wissen, dass ich dadurch neu erlernen durfte - sondern auch einfach euch zuhören und eine kurze Ablenkung zu haben, hat mir einige Male sehr geholfen ❤️ werde den Podcast sehr vermissen ❤️
Hi Josh and Feli! Thank you for three amazing years. I'm so sad that you ended the podcast, but at the same time I understand your reasons to do so. I watched every episode on RUclips and I enjoyed every single one. I was looking forward to it every time. I will really miss you, hoping for a special episode here and there. All the best for you and hopefully Auf Wiedersehen!
Feli and Josh, thank you very much for all the effort you both have put into that podcast and for allowing us to peek into your life and those of your guests. It's been particularly interesting to get some impressions about Cincinatti, ie something different from the typical New York, Florida or California experience. Also it's been very interesting to hear about Josh's experiences with adapting to Life in Germany as a US citizen. I'm certainly looking forward to your future special editions of "Understanding Trainstation". Good luck and good success and lots of happiness to both of you.
Thank you so much for the podcast! ❤ I had seen the Video with Josh on Felis channel and have been following the podcast from the start. I listened to every episode except the sound of music one (still waiting for when I have watched the movie). You have been my favorite podcast for the last 3 years❤ wish you all the best
Finally summon the courage to catch up with the last episode of Understanding Train Station. It actually ended 8 months ago and i was like, as long as i don't watch it, there will always be a new episode there. But the end is the end. It's time to move on. Thanks for the companionship when i was living through my toughest time.A new release of episode had always made my day. For sure, it wasn't some kind of blockbuster program, but it meant a lot to me. It's an end to a period but there will always be new journey to begin. Keep the good work and see you later.
Been listening since episode 1 (I migrated from Feli’s channel)! Loved listening all these years. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences with us. And personally, thanks for including my accent clip in your final episode! Best of luck to both of y’all in the future. I’ll miss y’all on my commutes to work! Tchüss!
I have listened to every single episode, starting with the first one, beginning till the end and mostly in the middle of the night: I used to listen to Feli’s videos when my daughter - born early 2020 - was awake at night, nursing her in the dark room add waiting for her to fall asleep again. Your podcast and Feli’s channel helped me stay mentally sane in years of sleep deprivation because the nights were at least entertaining. But your podcast also helped me a lot to better understand my coworkers from all around the world and how they might perceive their lives as immigrants in Germany. Danke für euren tollen Podcast! Ich hoffe wir können euch auch in Zukunft noch ab und zu zusammen erleben!
Thank you Josh and Feli for such a great podcast! I have enjoyed these episodes and your perspectives so much -- it's helped me understand my Germany heritage in a way. I'll definitely be rewatching old episodes from time to time. :) Best wishes for both of you, and looking forward to any updates down the road!
Awwww I teared up at the end! Would love Sonderepisoden and to keep hearing from Josh occasionally - I am also fond of him and your dynamic! And you gotta love that you ended on a bathroom-related topic. 😂❤
Danke für viele schöne Stunden mit unterhaltsamen und informativen Plaudereien und interessanten Gästen. Ich bin auch überrascht, dass es tatsächlich 3 Jahre waren. Alles Gute euch beiden weiterhin!
I was a subscriber to Feli’s channel (with the old name) before the creation of UTS. I remember the UTS channel being announced, but for some reason I didn’t start watching until several episodes were already posted, but this allowed me to binge. From the first couple episodes the statement of “this episode is really long” was a common theme, to which my thought was “I could listen to this for another hour or 2.” Your chemistry together was perfect, which made it very easy to watch and want more. I love learning about how things work in other countries and this was always a fun podcast to watch/listen. It’s sad to see it end, but I understand and appreciate the time and work it took to put it together and I wish you both luck in the future.
Josh, Feli - vielen Dank für die ausgezeichnete Podcast! I can't remember my first episode, but I've been a loyal listener for several years, and made it to a couple of Patreon hangouts a few years back. My favorite episodes included the "y'all talk funny" dialects. Also enjoyed all of your interviews with friends, and hearing about your travels. All the best to both of you on your future endeavors!
Thank you for all of your time both of you put into the podcast. Throughly enjoyed every episode. The debut video of Josh talking with Feli on Feli’s channel hooked me and so glad you two started the podcast.
I'm going to throw in a "Cincinnati + German' story' that I heard recently. This anecdote came from a RUclips video that features the reading of German POWs' diaries when they came to the US. A trainload of German POWs was travelling across the US to their final camp destination. As they approached the city, the American guard pointed out the window and said to the Germans "Cincinnati." One German responded "Nein!" The guard was flustered and again said "Cincinnati!" and the German answered "Nein!" once again. The writer explained that the German thought the guard was saying "Sind sie Nazi?" (Are you a Nazi?) and he wanted to make sure he wasn't confused with an actual Nazi.
@@UnderstandingTrainStation As best I can tell, yes. I heard it on a RUclips channel and it came from a diary or a later memoir of a German POW who was held in the US. I don't remember which video specifically, but there are many videos on RUclips that are taken from these POW diaries as they were held in the US. (You especially hear the difference in the ranks between the hard-core Nazis and the average German soldier or sailor). I could probably find the video if you want to confirm it (understanding that the source material may not be particularly specific).
Thank you so much, Josh and Feli! I found the podcast and Feli's channel when I was missing Munich and looking for content. I've also been an ex pat (in Chile) and really enjoyed the discussions about cultural differences. It helps us all be better world citizen. Keep traveling!
Hi Feli, hi Josh, thank you very much for 3 years of interesting insights into foreign cultures and expats live. The only good I can take from your podcast ending is that every other Thursday evening is offering some free time now. 😉
I can't say exactly when I had seen UTS zum ersten Mal, had already seen Feli's YT station and I don't believe I had watched all of them, but did enjoy at least some of them. Anyway, best of luck in your future endeavors.
I’ve been listening to UTS since the first episode, I enjoyed every stories, guest interviews, your fun conversations and cultural observations. Sad to see it ends as I feel like losing a “friend” who I’ve known for 3 years. Thank you again. Josh and Feli for such a great train ride. ❤
Thank you both so much for all of the amazing episodes throughout the past 3 years! Although I haven't had as much time to tune in to more of the recent episodes, I've always appreciated how your podcast provides a very accessible and fun way to learn more about different cultures and walks of life. Wishing you both the best with your future endeavors!
I came from Felis channel right from the start. I loved the podcast right from the beginning. The pride episode was a great one because Josh was comfortable to share his story. Also seeing his journey and growth is special From being „dragged“ in front of the camara to shyly show of his insane German skills to become a full cohost. Very endearing
i have watched quite a few of the episodes. really enjoyed them. i will continue to watch your channel, feli, and hope to hear from josh from time to time. all the best to you. love from germany.
Sorry to see it end but you put a superior product out there so congrats and best wishes! Of course I'll continue to follow you, Feli, and Josh, I hope you'll stop by from time to time!
My favourite episode (that I've listened to so far, I've kind of just dipped in on ones that interested me) was the one on race and ethnicity. It was super interesting, I've been meaning to listen to it again with my mum.
I come from a big family. My father renovated the bathroom and put in a double bathroom sink. Solves arguments about space and time getting ready for school/work.
Bye bye Josh! 😢 It is a little weird, that it seems to me that I know you somehow. And now I probably see or hear you never again; it's like losing a "friend" and it makes me a little sad. Please go on like you did and make the best out off it. You own a little piece of tissue of my heart. 😂
Yeah, Josh, that is the life of a celebrity, I assume. I was with this podcast from the moment, it started and it was my only real podcast, I heared (on RUclips while doing other things). My favorite episodes were, too, the dialect episodes. Perhaps because they showed me, that I'm not the only one, who heared the podcast.
My experience of Croatia. Many years ago I was in a tour party in Slovenia, when Slovenia was an EU state and Croatia was not. We took a day trip into Croatia and dropped in at the seaside town of Rovinj on the Istrian peninsula. Our (Slovenian) guide told us quickly what was where (go that way to see x, go that way to see y) and we were left to our own devices because she was not permitted to 'work' in Croatia. Subsequently she was arrested by the local tourist police (supposedly for working unlicensed) and basically held for ransom - we had to shell out 100euros to get her released. It was a total disgrace. As for Rovinj, it was a picturesque coastal town (low-key tourist trap) and of course you expect that prices will be hiked just for that reason, but honestly.... The prices in local bars and cafes were ASTRONOMICAL. Even worse than in Trieste (Italy), which was pretty awful but somewhat expected. Some of my party were older and seasoned travellers (and also not poor), but even they were shocked. For reference, we were staying at a 5-star hotel in Portoros for that part of our tour - Slovenia's Monte Carlo where the cars on the roads went Porsche-Bentley-Ferrari-Lamborghini-Ferrari-Rolls Royce-Bentley-Lamborghini-Bentley-VW-Rolls Royce-Ferrari (maybe one 'ordinary' car in ten) - really not a 'poor' place - and Rovinj was more expensive. For counterpoint, the border between Slovenia and Croatia could be quite intense. If you were in a Croatian-plated vehicle, you would be held up for a long time while Slovenian border police took your vehicle to pieces, just to cause maximum inconvenience. We (British) rolled up at the border and as soon as the police knew that we were British, we were waved through in literally seconds flat - one message relayed by our guide was "we love you, but why on earth do you want to go into Croatia?". No love lost between Slovenia and Croatia anyway.
I've a question for Josh: Sometimes you use some german words and translate it into english - like "einen groben Plan" / 'a general idea'. I'm asking because sometimes i do the same thing the otherway round using english words first and looking for fitting german words afterwards - although i never lived in an english speaking country and my english is not 10% as good as your german. 😅
Ok at the moment I’m listening to this, and I’m too lazy to watch it at this time; but anyone tell me why they ended the podcast? I’m only a bit through this, but I don’t know if they mention it. They’re coworkers/friends, I’d hope at least they keep in touch. If you know, can you please comment below with a good reasoning as to why or quote what they mentioned!
Germans complaining about the heat in summer? I live in Australia. It is November and I am already having temperatures in the high 20s/low 30s C. I dread January and February and all the heat and humidity.
It's because we're in Munich. It's not something that people all over Germany do :) It's just a major event in Munich and I personally love it. Many locals don't like it at all. But among those who do, it's not just people in their twenties who go there, it's literally people of all ages and lots of families too. -Feli
Feli, this is an opportunity to explore all German Volksfeste. Schützenfeste, Kirmes, etc. my hometown is said to celebrate the oldest Kirmes in Germany. It was a big deal in our area, we didn’t talk about anything else for weeks.
DANKE & THANK YOU for three amazing years! 🫶

Now that I've gotten to the end of it, with tears in my eyes, I'll add that I was here from Episode 1. Thank you so much for all the effort you've put into these.
I have enjoyed having a first class seat on this ICE train. Thank you. It’s always great to leave the stage while the audience is still clapping.

It was a good journey thanks for all the amazing content
Thanks for all the episodes, I miss UTS already ❤

Facing the reality, in Germany and especially in Austria - customer is king but waiter is emperor ;)
😂
Thanks for creating quality content for all that time. You've always been educational and entertaining. Good look to both of you!

Thank you for the good time. I will miss this podcast. Have a good time.
Thanks a lot for your podcast over the last three years. It was always a pleasure to watch. Good luck for both of you.

I can't say exactly when I had seen UTS zum ersten Mal, had already seen Feli's YT station and I don't believe I had watched all of them, but did enjoy at least some of them. Anyway, best of luck in your future endeavors.

It's the end of an era, thanks for the great content! Too bad I never had a chance to come on, I am a world traveler with many diverse experiences.
It's been a fun, entertaining, and educational train ride. Thank you both. And now I know how to pronounce "Sissi" correctly.
It has been a fun ride. Thank you 🥰
Love you! Best wishes.
Thanks for these. I started with your first video and I think I've caught them all except for maybe one.
You are both such interesting people and I learned a lot from this podcast! I wish you guys the very best!
I come from a big family. My father renovated the bathroom and put in a double bathroom sink. Solves arguments about space and time getting ready for school/work.
The best episodes I think are when you had guests on your podcast. Sorry to see it come to an end.
Been watching since the since the beginning and am going to miss you guys.
Very nice. Congratulations to you both!
It just dawned on me, that in hindsight, you should have named UTS, “Trading Places with Josh & Feli”.
Trading Places because we switched cities? 😅
I'm there with you Josh. I've used social media, but I never found any appeal in it.
Nice ending, thanks for all your hard work.
By the way, the correct dip for chicken wings is blue cheese dressing. :)
Hahaha I'll let Ben know! 😂
You know, I feel sure he holds a candle for her. C'est la vie, Josh :-(
Bye bye Josh! 😢 It is a little weird, that it seems to me that I know you somehow. And now I probably see or hear you never again; it's like losing a "friend" and it makes me a little sad. Please go on like you did and make the best out off it. You own a little piece of tissue of my heart. 😂
Yeah, Josh, that is the life of a celebrity, I assume.
I was with this podcast from the moment, it started and it was my only real podcast, I heared (on RUclips while doing other things).
My favorite episodes were, too, the dialect episodes. Perhaps because they showed me, that I'm not the only one, who heared the podcast.
Sad day. Going to miss it.
How could you miss the opportunity to name this episode "Terminus Station"? Anyway, nice going while it lasted.
My experience of Croatia. Many years ago I was in a tour party in Slovenia, when Slovenia was an EU state and Croatia was not. We took a day trip into Croatia and dropped in at the seaside town of Rovinj on the Istrian peninsula.

Subsequently she was arrested by the local tourist police (supposedly for working unlicensed) and basically held for ransom - we had to shell out 100euros to get her released. It was a total disgrace. As for Rovinj, it was a picturesque coastal town (low-key tourist trap) and of course you expect that prices will be hiked just for that reason, but honestly.... The prices in local bars and cafes were ASTRONOMICAL. Even worse than in Trieste (Italy), which was pretty awful but somewhat expected. Some of my party were older and seasoned travellers (and also not poor), but even they were shocked. For reference, we were staying at a 5-star hotel in Portoros for that part of our tour - Slovenia's Monte Carlo where the cars on the roads went Porsche-Bentley-Ferrari-Lamborghini-Ferrari-Rolls Royce-Bentley-Lamborghini-Bentley-VW-Rolls Royce-Ferrari (maybe one 'ordinary' car in ten) - really not a 'poor' place - and Rovinj was more expensive.
For counterpoint, the border between Slovenia and Croatia could be quite intense. If you were in a Croatian-plated vehicle, you would be held up for a long time while Slovenian border police took your vehicle to pieces, just to cause maximum inconvenience. We (British) rolled up at the border and as soon as the police knew that we were British, we were waved through in literally seconds flat - one message relayed by our guide was "we love you, but why on earth do you want to go into Croatia?". No love lost between Slovenia and Croatia anyway.

Čus 😞
Greetings from Czechia
Gonna miss your videos.
OH NO! I'm so sad 😭
Noooo😢😢❤❤
I was in Prague in 1993 and beer was 30p a litre.
I am still waiting for the promised St. Martin episode. Also, I have the copyright for having from in the name, so Feli, watch out !
Also the warmest year overall of the last 175.000 Years...
Und Endstation. Schade, dass die Reise vorbei ist. Aber vielleicht sieht man sich nochmal wieder.
I've a question for Josh: Sometimes you use some german words and translate it into english - like "einen groben Plan" / 'a general idea'.
I'm asking because sometimes i do the same thing the otherway round using english words first and looking for fitting german words afterwards - although i never lived in an english speaking country and my english is not 10% as good as your german. 😅
Feli,❤❤ do you know the name of that Opera singer in the ep78 video?
❤❤❤
Josh is low key German 😂😂😂 his voice sounds somehow so suitable for German even when he speaks English 😂😂😂
😭😭😭
Ok at the moment I’m listening to this, and I’m too lazy to watch it at this time; but anyone tell me why they ended the podcast? I’m only a bit through this, but I don’t know if they mention it. They’re coworkers/friends, I’d hope at least they keep in touch. If you know, can you please comment below with a good reasoning as to why or quote what they mentioned!
So this was what upu wanted to achieve...? There will be blood and pain and everlasting damage both mental and physical..all the best !😊
DAMN you're not letting us off the hook easy, are you 😂
Feli sitting on the left and Josh on the right, just how it should be.
Es ist doch auch so für mich als deutscher wäre ich nie auf die Idee gekommen an cicinaty zu denken.

Wait why did it end?
Germans complaining about the heat in summer? I live in Australia. It is November and I am already having temperatures in the high 20s/low 30s C. I dread January and February and all the heat and humidity.
Complaining about the weather is a German specialty 😂 -Feli

The Oktoberfest....isn't there anything else to do in Germany? Is there so much focus on the party because you're in your twenties?
It's because we're in Munich. It's not something that people all over Germany do :) It's just a major event in Munich and I personally love it. Many locals don't like it at all. But among those who do, it's not just people in their twenties who go there, it's literally people of all ages and lots of families too. -Feli
Feli, this is an opportunity to explore all German Volksfeste. Schützenfeste, Kirmes, etc. my hometown is said to celebrate the oldest Kirmes in Germany. It was a big deal in our area, we didn’t talk about anything else for weeks.
