Live podcast “German-American Friendship”

“Now more than ever! Voices that make a difference – Wednesdays for peace, democracy, and the environment”

What is the state of the friendship between Germany and the US? Two old friends, SZ correspondents Boris Herrmann and Christian Zaschke, shed light on this question from two perspectives: after more than seven years as New York correspondent, Christian Zaschke is back in Berlin, while Boris Herrmann has now left for New York himself.

In their SZ Plus podcast, they discuss how transatlantic relations have changed since the Trump era, what foreign policy challenges unite and divide Germany and the US today – and how things might develop in the future. Their personal insights and journalistic expertise make the conversation exciting for anyone who wants to understand international politics. Experience the live conversation between the two reporters up close at the Tollwood Winter Festival.

Admission to the events in the series “Jetzt erst recht! Stimmen, die bewegen” (Now more than ever! Voices that move) is free.

Reservations required at www.tollwood.de/reservierung
