With the transformation of The History Buff into the Ministry of History, there is a new series called 'Minister's Questions' (MQs). This is where ministers from the Ministry will answer questions either submitted by you or just random questions. Themes will be about history but also about other things the Ministry does such as tours of Berlin. MQs was originally just going to be YouTube content, but during editing we decided that it works well as a podcast too!
In this first episode, Minister Artie and Deputy Minister Tina, both Berlin tour guides, answer questions from online and also from visitors in Berlin about being a Berlin tour guide. We had quite a few questions so it's split into two parts. Please enjoy this first part and do let us know any questions you may have for us by getting in contact using the contact form on our website or over social media!
Why did you move to Berlin? Why did you become a guide? What are your favourite topics to guide in? What topics don't you like? Listen to find out the answer to these and many other questions!
MQs is primarily a YouTube series, so you can also watch this episode as a video on YouTube.
