Every Friday there’s a new episode of the Funk podcast hosted by Julia Emmrich and Carlotta Richter. The focus is on the Chancellor and the work of the federal government. Sometimes guests are invited as well. It’s easy listening, but it doesn’t quite satisfy me. I’d like one of the hosts to occasionally put on CDU glasses or play devil’s advocate. A bit more friction would do the format good. It would make it easier to bring out how the Chancellor and the CDU really operate. You can find the podcast on platforms such as Podcast.de.
