Uh, one thing that is characteristic of Berlin Review is that, I mean, as this very event, it, we're, we're bilingual.
Actually, we did, we, we still do more German than English, but the English amount is increasing.
And, um, and I don't know, to be honest with you, uh, how much, um, our German readership and our, uh, English readership actually intersect.
Um, because there's theoretically a way we have some data that we could sort of like analyze, but we don't even have the tools or the time or the sophistication to, to run, you know, uh-
But when you say your English readership versus your German readership, do you mean the people reading the articles that are written primarily, that are written exclusively or first in English versus the people reading the German? Or do you mean the people reading in Germany versus the people reading in the Anglophone-
... whether you read an article, whether you read German language articles or English language articles.
And, um, strategically, we always, our wager always was that, uh, a publication like this is missing in the German sphere because in, in the English language there are already so many great, uh, magazines like that, that, uh, there's not as big a, a, a gap.
