This week we have a good old chat about Easter in Poland and all that it entails. It’s something quite strange for people from Ireland and the UK since it’s taken so seriously here.
We also talk about our usual Song, Beer and Meeting of the week.
We’re back and we take absolutely zero interest in Easter!
So instead we have a natter about education along with our usual Beer of the Week, Song of the Week and our Random Meeting of the Week.
Hope you all enjoy Easter, even though nobody ever really enjoys Easter, but sure, have a few shots anyway and tell Uncle Jan to fuck off trying to feel you up.
This time around we try and make some sense of the situation in Ukraine, are we really living beside a war zone?
Will it get worse or better? And is living beside a war zone all that bad. We’re Irish, we lived only a few hours away from a faux-civil war in the 1980s & 90s.
We have our usual nuggets, our favourite Beer of the Week, a Song of the Week, from a very famous and well-loved Polish band and a differing of opinions with a cranky auld bitch of a neighbour.
You know where we are, so get in touch, we love hearing from yous.
Welcome to the 15th episode of The Poland Podcast.
Today we talk about national stereotypes, what we all think of the Poles and what they think about the Irish, the British and all the other nationalities, well, the important ones anyway.
We hear about what element of truth lie behind these stereotypes and delve deep in the psych of why people think that way.
We’re bring in a few new elements this week.
We have a Polish Beer of the Week,
Polish Song of the Week,
And Strange Encounter with a Pole feature.
As always we love to hear from you all so don’t be shy about getting in touch.
We’ve been asked about it before and knew the day would come eventually, so we’ve tackled a subject that we really, really we nervous about.
We’re probably upset you all at least once, but that’s OK, we upset ourselves all the time. What an awful world it would be if we were happy all the time. Sure we wouldn’t be people then, we’d be Canadians or something.
Anyway, pretty much everyone we talk about gets a roasting, except for Donald Tusk, Poland’s formerĀ PM and the Irish comedian Dylan Moran. Jarek Kaczynski is so unimportant that he didn’t even warrant a mention.
Anyway, let us know what we got wrong, we love hearing for you lovely, sexy, beautiful, patient people.
