James Howard Kunstler reports on his recent visit to Berlin, Germany...the one place where people know how to pronounce his name correctly. Thirteen years ago, James Howard Kunstler traveled to
Berlin, Germany to research a chapter for his third nonfiction book, The City
in Mind. On his recent trip, he discovered that the place has healed remarkably
over the past decade. Of course he had to go check in on the Führerbunker
which is now the site of one of Berlin's few surface parking lots. JHK notes
that history is a great prankster and therefore it's no surprise that while the
U.S. won the war against Germany, it's cities looked bombed out. While Germany
lost the war and its cities are beautiful, civilized places. Listeners end the show with their reactions to
