Dear Reader,

June marks the beginning of summer: long days, warm weather, and plenty of downtime by the pool to catch up on summer reading (or listening)!

We’ve got new contributions to two of our regular columns, hot off the digital presses! The groovy Flower Power series from our street art column #artbits covers botanical murals in cities around North America, and the June episode of Popcast showcases the latest from the German music scene. Don’t forget to read up on the hit German TV show Kleo in our Binge Fever! column — the second season is coming to Netflix on July 25th.

Happy reading!
