Frommer's has a fun podcast called Berlin and Amsterdam for the Next Generation . Listen or download here.

"Just back from Berlin and Amsterdam, Frommer's editor Jennifer Polland joins host Kelly Regan to explain why these capital cities are getting attention from a new generation of cool hunting travelers. Polland talks about Berlin's summer beach bars and a stretch of buildings that seems straight out of a sci-fi flick, then explains how to live it up with the locals in Amsterdam -- without breaking your budget."
