About this listen

 It’s been more than a month since election day, but that doesn’t mean that the election is over. Olaf Scholz will be the next chancellor, coalition talks are in full swing, and The Union has had to take a long hard look at itself. But what does this mean for Germany, the future government and Angela Merkel?

Sumi Somaskanda of Deutsche Welle helps us unpack all this and more. Including looking into what the results said about how voters feel about climate policy. Why are so many young voters backing the liberal FDP, what’s next for the DWE housing referendum, and what’s going on while we wait for a government to be formed?

Thank you Sumi for chatting with us, RØDE for making our recordings possible, and Epidemic Sound for the theme song.
