Have you heard about DW’s new environment podcast? This week, we feature two episodes of On The Green Fence. The podcast's presenters — Neil King and Gabriel Borrud — travel to a small town in Southern Germany, where water contamination is plaguing residents and they visit a farm outside Berlin to hear how the expansion of agriculture and the use of pesticides is endangering insects.

Just in time for the holidays, we're bringing you stories from across the world about some unique Christmas traditions. From a town called Santa Claus in the US to festive frolics on hot-hot Hawaii, this program features narratives of Noel.
