Understanding Train Station

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! -Josh & Feli ---------------------------------- Chapters: 0:00 Life Updates 29:59 How the podcast started 56:54 Our favorite episodes 1:14:16 How the podcast has impacted our lives 1:32:42 Messages from YOU! 1:46:36 See you later!

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.

*NO EPISODE THIS WEEK* Hey guys! Unfortunately, we didn't get to record a new episode for you this week (due to the time issue we mentioned last time) and I'll actually be on vacation next week so the next episode will come out in 2 weeks. Thank you for all of your kind comments and messages in response to last week's announcement about the upcoming end of the podcast. We're just as sad as you are but we do still have a few cool episodes planned! :) You guys had a lot of suggestions for guests so we're going to try and make those happen. And for two topics, we're actually still looking for guests: 1. We'd love to talk about differences in the application and recruitment process in Germany vs. the US and invite two people to the podcast who work in Human Resources in Germany and the US, respectively. If that's you or you know someone who would be a good fit for this, please shoot us an email at [email protected]! 2. One of our viewers suggested to talk about American military families/military brats and we think that’s a fascinating topic. Did any of you grow up in a military family or do you know someone who did and who would be willing to tell us about their experience on the podcast? Shoot us an email! Thank you so much for your ongoing support! 😊
