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.”
