Folge 39: After the Big Chill: Relaunching German-American Relations

 The HCA podcast has a new name: “Corona in den USA” becomes
“Quo Vadis USA?” While the Covid-19 pandemic is by no means
behind us, we know that there is great interest out there in
topics beyond Corona, especially since the Biden administration
took office. In our podcast, we want to find out where the
country is headed. 


The first episode of “Quo Vadis USA?” focuses on the relaunch of
German-American relations since the inauguration of the 46th
president. Anja Schüler talks to Jeffrey Rathke, the director of
the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies at Johns
Hopkins University, about issues is on the transatlantic agenda,
the role of the pandemic for the renewal of transatlantic
relations, and whether the Biden administration will “build back
better.”
