Marina Weisband and the audacity of (relative) youth

Germany’s chancellor after the one after next? 

She really means it. That’s the thing: she really means it. I ask her how she views Angela Merkel. And how encouraged she feels in her own ambitions by the fact that the German chancellor is a woman. “Well,” she replies, “I know that I could also be chancellor.” And then: “But I don’t know if I want to.” It’s an extraordinary statement for a 24-year-old.

• About this blog

  I’m really delighted to be the presenter of Talking Germany. Each week we have a new guest – and what fascinating people they are. Each of them has made his or her own very special contribution to making Germany such a vibrant and dynamic country. And it’s always interesting to find out how they tick by talking with them not just during the show but also before and after. Which is why I’ve also got a blog for you with behind the scenes impressions of the many notable and quotable people featured on the program. It goes without saying: we look forward to hearing your comments, too!

Here then are some of the most recent selections.
