AUSPICIOUS PLASTIC is a podcast about precious objects and the stories behind them.
It's the day before Vanessa Ellingham's birthday and the day after the 2017 German Federal Election. Immigration is the touchstone for both women: Chancellor Angela Merkel's governing party loses a substantial amount of votes over the issue, while Berlin-based New Zealand-born Vanessa publishes the very first issue of her migration magazine, Nansen.
Which just happens to be her precious object for this episode of Auspicious Plastic! But it's not all politics and publishing: her story takes an unexpected turn, one guaranteed to melt the heart of the most hardened political pundit..
