SwissPats

Meghan Howard, an American potter turned expat, runs Design by Tro and sits down with the SwissPats to discuss how she went from the corporate world to teaching and creating pottery that is more than just a physical cup, dish or a bowl. The SwissPats also wrap their heads around how a burglar mistook a large Basel church for a villa, Swiss birds' mortal enemy and how a ferret-like animal is terrorizing cars mainly in Appenzell-Innerrhoden, Thurgau and St. Gallen.

The SwissPats put on their running shoes and interview Constanza Lisdero of ChiRunning. Don’t think you’re a runner? Listen to this interview and you may change your mind. In addition, the SwissPats also discuss a rather large tip at a Zurich kebab shop, a lost laptop that cost a Lucerne fella a large amount of cryptocurrency and the traditional way residents of Appenzell vote.

Suzi and Don stop by ELA Basel, a Swiss British International School, to speak with the new executive director and expat, Nick Owlett. The SwissPats also discuss what one country is doing to clear up confusion that they are NOT Switzerland, what most Swiss children do in their free time and how a speeder in Bern will avoid paying a stiff fine despite video evidence of going 52 km/h in a 30 km/h zone.
