DMTF Podcast

After another long break the old gang have finally met up again in Berlin to chew over recent events and spit out totally unrelated facts.

We talk about recent club politics including Windhorst but also the new club President Kay Bernstein.

We also briefly talk about team comings and goings as well as the game against Hoffenheim on the weekend.

To wrap up with discuss Hertha’s “sustainability theme” for this game promoting the idea of a carbon neutral Berlin by 2030. Linked to this we mention Simon’s adventures on the sustainable cycle ride to the stadium in the rain.

Lastly we talk about possible development of a Hertha Women’s team that will be proposed at the next members meeting.

A quick ramble on the day after Christmas about the season so far with the normal distractions

Patrick and Jan discuss the last two losses (boo) and avoid talking about a certain "club" from Leipzig. Patrick just finished the Berlin Marathon (yay) and Jan is lazy as always. Enjoy. And please, more crowd participation for the next one! See our bios on our socials to participate via speakpipe... hahohe!

We discuss the last two wins (!) in our first in-person recording since spring 2020.

We have to talk about the last two losses, a rather botched sadline day and how we think Hertha is gonna fare with the transfers that DID happen.

Jan returns to join Patrick and Simon to try and make sense of confusing times. Are we hopeful for the future?

Jan returns to the podcast and we chew the fat about being Hertha fans in a pandemic.

We also have guest appearances from Maria and Inis. Maria tells us her Hertha story and how she has been affected by the pandemic. Inis answers some questions about the new stadium project.

Minutes after the original publication of this podcast it came to light the Hertha team have been quarantined following Covid infections. Irony abounds.

Patrick, Simon and Markus are joined by Nick Gerum from Wisconsin to talk about Hertha's recent tribulations. Also, vandalism terminology, the "joys" of relegation, haute cuisine, and listener questions meant for another podcast (No offense, guys!). Also, yet again, Patrick talks way too much about a team that's not Hertha.
