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 former 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.
It’s 2015’s first episode for The Poland Podcast and we met two real, live Polish females.

What a Podcast we’ve got this week for you to sink your ivories into.
First up, Winter in Poland. The dreaded cold and how to cope with it……with alcohol, strong, vigorous amounts of it.
We are united in our hatred of old Polish women. You’d prefer to spend a weekend at a tax collector conference than five minutes with these mohair and church obsessed auld Biddies.
We have our usual quirky new story about a man who broke into the pub he had been drinking in to keep drinking.
Finally, we tackle an important Polish film about an influential Polish hip hop group, Paktofonika, Jestés Bogiem.
