Most people will think of Yodel and Landler music, and thats not wrong at all. In this second part of our series with Dr Jaermann, we will even hear a few examples.

Other subjects we discuss are the languages spoken in Switzerland and all the additional languages the Swiss National Radio broadcasted in - already in the 60s.
