Understanding Train Station

By: Josh and Feli
  • Summary

  • In our podcast “Understanding Train Station”, we (Josh and Feli) explore the intricacies and pitfalls of living between cultures. The title is derived from the German idiom “Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof” which literally translates to “I only understand train station”. Similar to the English saying “It’s Greek to me”, it is used to express a lack of understanding which is an all too common feeling when dealing with another culture and living abroad. Feli (aka “Feli from Germany” on YouTube) is a German living in the U.S. and Josh is probably the most “Germanized” American you’ll ever meet.

  • EP78: The Final Stop
    Nov 9 2023

    All good things must come to an end. Like many cliche phrases, however annoying they may be, they are often true. After over 70 episodes, Josh’s move to Germany, lots of back and forth trips between Germany and the U.S. to see family and friends, the time has finally come for UTS to pull into its final station and blow the whistle one last time. Join us in this last journey down memory lane as Josh and Feli reflect on the early beginnings of UTS, our favorite episodes, the way this podcast has impacted our lives, and some of your lovely comments of support that we have received. As hard as it is to say goodbye, we are so unbelievably thankful for you all joining us on this incredible journey!

  • EP76: In Germany, We Don't Say... ft. Liam Carpenter
    Aug 4 2023

    You know him from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube Shorts as the guy in the grey tracksuit, the crossbody bag, and the Birkenstocks. Liam Carpenter is originally from the UK but at the age of 18, he came to Germany to pursue a career in basketball. In today's episode, he tells us all about how he went from the basketball court to social media and which of the German stereotypes that he usually makes fun of, he's actually adopted into his own life!
