Hiatus
8/6/2023
As you have noticed, due to changes in our academic and professional lives, the frequency of our podcast has not been the same over the last couple of months. Because of this and after some deliberation we've made the decision to go on an indefinite hiatus starting today. This is not a sad situation, but a celebration of what we were to all of you, and to ourselves, for the last 6 years. Thank you for your engagement, for sharing, telling your friends and colleagues about us, tagging us in your stories, for donating and for writing to us. If you chose to support us through Patreon you don't have to do anything. Those who have set up payments via their bank or Paypal, please take action and stop your monthly donations. Lastly, to those of you who would like a BB tote bag, please write to us (at berlinbriefing@gmail.com) with your mailing address and we will send you one. It's been a pleasure. As always, thanks for listening!
