I listen to the Radio Spaetkauf podcast, which is "News about Berlin in English". They're the guys who did the "How to Fuck Up An Airport" series.

That's the series about how the Berlin airport got so royally fucked up and cost billions more than it should have.
One of the hosts was Maisie Hitchcock. She was English. She died of ovarian cancer last year. This episode for June has her last interview.
I learned that when she lived in Berlin, she was a tour guide for Rick Steves' tour company.
I also learned that her father was Robyn Hitchcock. I didn't know who that was. So today while I was out to lunch with some vendors, I was looking him up and I saw his Instagram post from last year where he announced that Maisie had passed away. Then I looked up and on the wall in the bar was a poster for a musical festival and in the middle of the poster was the name "Robyn Hitchcock".
Anyway, if you're going to listen to this episode of the podcast, bring tissue.
