Gerry tells us every two weeks what's been happening to him in Switzerland, Britain and elsewhere. He comments on what has caught his eye - or ear. He talks about his family, friends and colleagues - the little things that happen. But thanks to his “outsider’s” view - after his 20 years living in Switzerland - he often sees things that we "insiders" just don't notice.

Gerry is a pseudonym used by Gareth Hughes for the character he has created for his podcasts. Gareth, like Gerry, is from Wales and he came to Switzerland more than 20 years ago with his wife and three children. In the summer of 2008 he and his wife moved back to Wales. Gareth's job and his life have been bound up with languages: the learning and teaching of them to adults from many different backgrounds. Languages are inextricably bound up with culture, and it's the strange and amusing contacts between languages and cultures that he experiences on a daily basis in Switzerland, in Britain and on his travels through Europe that form the basis for his podcasts.
