About this listen

 Every voice deserves to be heard. This podcast provides a space for international student workers to share their life stories and work experiences in Germany. Each episode takes you deeper into the often unseen world of “hidden labor”—the international student migrant workers keeping logistics centers running, delivering packages and food, brewing coffee, and staffing supermarkets. Join us as we laugh, cry, and stand together! If you’d like to get in touch, share your story, or have questions, feel free to contact us via globalhours@proton.meGlobal Hours Social Sciences

    Episode 1 Walking Out of the Lecture Hall: A Day on the Shop Floor
    Jan 18 2026

    In this episode, we follow Chinese student workers during a full day on the shop floor. Starting at 8:30 a.m., we experience the rhythm of warehouse work as it unfolds: how tasks are assigned, how wages are calculated, and what the working conditions are like. Through these everyday moments and firsthand accounts, we see student work in the warehouse as a lived, embodied experience rather than an abstract job description.
