Maybe you want to speak German with your family from Germany? Our podcast will give you the cultura…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T04:17:52.818755+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-german-5979313"},"episode":{"title":"Unveiling Shadows: The Mystery of Schwarzwald Inn","slug":"unveiling-shadows-the-mystery-of-schwarzwald-inn","published_at":"2026-05-10T07:50:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-german-5979313/unveiling-shadows-the-mystery-of-schwarzwald-inn","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-german-5979313","url":"https://www.fluentfiction.com/de/episode/2026-05-10-07-38-19-de","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/71944846/2026_05_10_07_38_19_de_draft_episode.mp3","summary":"Fluent Fiction - German : Unveiling Shadows: The Mystery of Schwarzwald Inn Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/de/episode/2026-05-10-07-38-19-de Story Transcript: De: In der Tiefe des Schwarzwaldes, umgeben von dichten Bäumen und geheimnisvollen Wegen, stand das Gasthaus Schwarzwaldhof.
