Anne Will Embraces Podcasting as Habeck Launches Conversation Series and Wissing Urges Cooperation

The Berlin kickoff showcased a turn away from soundbite TV toward longer conversations that participants say foster substance.

Overview

  • Robert Habeck premiered his new conversation format 'Habeck Live' on October 5 at the Berliner Ensemble with guests Anne Will and Volker Wissing.
  • Anne Will said she feels more at home as a podcaster than in her former ARD talk‑show role and now hosts the interview series 'Politik mit Anne Will.'
  • Will described TV talk shows as time‑pressured and crowded, contrasting them with the quieter, longer podcast setting that she says enables deeper exchanges.
  • Habeck criticized talk‑show incentives that reward next‑morning coverage over problem‑solving, presented himself as a podcast fan, and framed the series as part of his public role‑finding.
  • Wissing called for less partisan differentiation and more bridge‑building in policymaking and said he plans to publish a book titled 'Verantwortung' next year on better political cooperation.
