Hi there! Thanks to modern technology, Germans can (and do!) listen to U.S. radio gems like This American Life or Prairie Home Companion. We also have quite good public radio stations of our own. In Germany it’s very rare for people to confess their love of public radio, though (it’s considered very boring), that’s why I suggested someone should do a German public radio fanblog.

Your translation is great. “Kunststoffgestelle” just means plastic frames, and a “Radio-Schlaubi” is a radio geek.

While your mom thought you were listening to her on the phone?? You’re breaking my heart.

According to freetranslation.com:

At the same time are noticeable that all Schlaubi radio speakers and ihreFans glasses with black plastic stands carry; Cohu included me. An involuntary secret code?

And I’m pretty sure the glasses thing just means “awesome people.”
