  1. Will there be any more history of Germany?

  2. Hello Pete and Travis,
    I am new to Bohemican and Alchemy podcasts. I have noticed a decrease in activity this year (2021). I have gotten through 2015 Bohemican podcasts so far. These are terrific. I am wondering if you may pick up activity. If so, I would really like to learn about the Slovak side of Bohemia.
    Best,
    Les

  3. Hallo Travis,

    macht ihr mal wieder eine Erbstücke Folge und sucht ein neues Thema ? Wir wohnen in einem Strohdachhaus.
    Und das ist inzwischen wirklich selten. Es gibt, soweit wir wissen, in Deutschland nur noch zwei solche Häuser die bewohnt sind.
    Wir sind wohl auch die letzten in Deutschland die solche Dächer herstellen.
    Leider interessiert sich auch fast niemand dafür. Vielleicht möchtet ihr mal eine Folge zu Strohdächern in Deutschland machen.
    Wir wissen zwar wie man so ein Dach macht, aber über die Geschichte solcher Dächer wissen wir leider nicht viel.
    Nur dass sie fast alle verschwunden sind.

    Falls du dir ansehen möchtest wie wir das machen, es gibt uns bei youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS5PUhKV0i8

    Viele liebe Grüße und vielen Dank für all die tollen Podcasts,

    jojo

  4. Thank you all for your great work! I really do like “Americana für euch”, and I think I will soon have infected my eleven-year-old son, too. 😉

    Wäre übrigens das jüngst ergangene Urteil, dass Trump der Staatsanwaltschaft Einblick in seine Buchführung gewähren muss, nicht ein schönes Thema für eine der nächsten Folgen?

  5. Hallo Travis,
    darf ich Dir einen Fragebogen zusenden? Meine Tochter schreibt gerade an Ihrer Maturaarbeit, in Österreich das Abitur, sie hat sich als Thema “Die LGBTQI+ Personengruppe als Zielgruppe für den Tourismus“ gewählt. Würdest Du an diesem Schriftlichen Interview teilnehmen? Ich würde Dir die Fragen als File zukommen lassen. Die Antworten werden anonymisiert und nicht anderwertig verwendet.

    Grüße
    Peter Zeintl

    The Questionaire document is english and german.

  6. Love your shows! I just listened to the five year episode on bohemican. Can’t believe it’s been that long since I came across y’all on iTunes. Decided to finally write some 5 star reviews for the shows. Apologies for taking so long. You guys are amazing and I wish I could financially support your work but life’s tight at the moment. So I just wanted to thank you guys for all you’ve done over the last five years. It’s opened my eyes to a whole other world. I did want to say I do web/newsletter/photography/etc if y’all want help, please let me know. Unfortunately my trip in Prague a few months ago involved getting sick for half the time I was there. I did snap some shots at castle Prague that I’d be happy to make available if you want. Let me know! Maybe sell some prints if you’d like.
