Maybe you want to speak German with your family from Germany? Our podcast will give you the cultura…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-25T18:22:06.575109+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-german-5979313"},"episode":{"title":"Autumn Connections: A Serendipitous Englischer Garten Meeting","slug":"autumn-connections-a-serendipitous-englischer-garten-meeting","published_at":"2026-09-25T07:51:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-german-5979313/autumn-connections-a-serendipitous-englischer-garten-meeting","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-german-5979313","url":"https://www.fluentfiction.com/de/episode/2026-09-25-07-38-20-de","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/75348825/2026_09_25_07_38_20_de_draft_episode.mp3","summary":"Fluent Fiction - German : Autumn Connections: A Serendipitous Englischer Garten Meeting Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/de/episode/2026-09-25-07-38-20-de Story Transcript: De: Der Herbst hatte den Englischen Garten in München in ein leuchtendes Farbenmeer verwandelt.
