Annette Dittert Discusses London Life and Punk Roots in Weekend Podcast
In the 252nd episode of the podcast 'And what are you doing at the weekend?', journalist and author Annette Dittert shares insights into her life in London. A former ARD correspondent with British citizenship, Dittert discusses her self-designed houseboat in Little Venice, her gardening habits, and local shopping tips. She reflects on her career, including postings in New York and Warsaw, and analyzes the current political landscape in Great Britain. The conversation also covers her youth in West Berlin during the 1980s, her admiration for the punk band The Pogues, and her surprising boredom while living in New York. Additionally, Dittert contrasts these experiences with the dull Sundays of her Rhineland childhood. The episode features personal recommendations for food, music, and reading, including Thomas Mann’s 'The Magic Mountain' and visits to Golborne Road. This interview highlights Dittert's cultural integration and personal reflections rather than breaking news, offering a lifestyle and cultural perspective from a prominent German media figure residing in the UK.
