Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,

I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to

spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month

of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.

That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get

the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.

Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European dotco.uk

forward slash two mats. This offer is the best you'll get anywhere and it's exclusive to two

Matt's podcast listeners. And you can cancel any time you like. So it's an unrepeatable offer to

dip your toe into a whole new world

of journalism. So Matt, where are we? Well, the secret location we discussed earlier in the week

is in fact Berlin. It is Berlin. It's lovely to be back. Great city. We're in the offices of

DPA, which is a Deutsche Press Agency. To whom many thanks.

Brilliant offices, by the way.

Wonderful officers.

And it's great to be back in the city.

My children are half German, as you know.

So I love the city.

And it's always great, isn't it, to come here and get a sense of, you know, we're a

new European.

We are obviously based in London.

But Berlin is one of the places I think you have to come and get a sense test of what's going on
