Truly German is a new podcast that talks about the news in Germany.  Sometimes this will by national news, maybe political, but we will also be covering some local topics.

We want to have some fun at the same time, so part of the podcast is our Länderquiz - in which my contestant has to guess in which Bundesland three different news stories took place in.

This week the topics are:

1. New and discontinued traffic signs
2. Twitter and election results
3. Oberursel barrel organ festival

The quiz covers the following stories:

1. Sehler-Quetschefest (plum festival)
2. Störtebecker-Festspielen
3. Bahnhof des Jahres (Station of the year)

Listen to the episode and tell us what you think about the stories covered:
