Episode 99: Mara Mainka

Episode 99: Mara Mainka

In this episode, I’m joined by comic and writer Mara Mainka (@maramainka), where we dive into her unique upbringing—raised in Germany with strong Romanian roots. We talk identity, language, and the quiet chaos of growing up between cultures. From bratwurst to sarmale, we dissect the subtle (and not-so-subtle) cultural contrasts between Western Europe and Romania, all with a healthy dose of humour, observation, and a few well-earned jabs at childhood trauma.


Why listen:

If you’ve ever felt like a cultural mishmash—or if you just like hearing two people with mild abandonment issues laugh about Europe’s family dysfunction—this one’s for you.
