Ep. 26 - The Oktoberfest Gemütlichkeit With Bryan and Graham

Craft Parenting Podcast

“Ein Prosit, ein Prosit Der Gemütlichkeit Ein Prosit, ein Prosit Der Gemütlichkeit.”

It’s Oktoberfest season in Cincinnati, the best time of year! Joe and Caroline welcome their good friends Bryan and Graham to talk about a brief history of the original festival in Munich, Germany, and the local festivities close to home. Joe and Caroline also recall their adventures from the previous week, Caroline tells us what is bugging her on Children’s TV and Joe tells a dad joke about beer. The closest thing that the German word Gemütlichkeit translates to is “friendship” or a “feeling of warmth”. To us, that is what Oktoberfest is truly all about. Prost!
