  • Collien Fernandes and Christian Ulmen and the Problem With German Humor

    Collien Fernandes and Christian Ulmen and the Problem With German Humor
    Apr 23 2026
    Tobias Haberkorn and Lauren Oyler discuss the scandal that has consumed the German media: comedian Christian Ulmen stands accused by his ex-wife, TV presenter Collien Fernandes, of stealing her identity, creating fake social media accounts, and engaging in sexually charged conversations with men in her name, what she calls digital sexual violence. They discuss what Ulmen’s brand of misogynist humor reveals about German comedy culture, why the reckoning arrived later here than elsewhere, what the case says about the blurry line between autofiction and real life, and what Collien’s defiant public response signals about how women are expected to perform victimhood. They also talk about the political fallout, the push for new legislation on digital abuse, and what it means that these alleged crimes were hidden in plain sight.

  • Zoltán Ádám on Hungary After Orbán

    Zoltán Ádám on Hungary After Orbán
    Apr 15 2026
    Tobias Haberkorn talks to Zoltán Ádám, a political economist based in Budapest, about the landslide defeat of Viktor Orbán in Hungary's 2026 parliamentary election. They discuss what it actually means to dismantle a system Orbán spent sixteen years building, whether Peter Magyar and his Tisza party have the tools and the will to restore liberal democracy, and what Hungary's experience reveals about the fragility of democratic institutions everywhere. They also talk about the international far right's investment in Orbán, the legal gray zone of the transition period, and what Zoltán — who lost his own university position under the Orbán government — expects to change now that it's over.

  • Deborah Feldman on Germany's Strange Love for Jews

    Deborah Feldman on Germany's Strange Love for Jews
    Apr 7 2026
    Lauren Oyler talks to Deborah Feldman, author of the memoir Unorthodox and longtime Berliner, about her essay "For the Love of Jews," published in the new issue of Berlin Review. They discuss German philo-Semitism, what Feldman calls a "fetishized compassion" for Jews, how she became a coveted fixture in the German media landscape, and what her experience reveals about the country's complicated relationship with Jewish identity. They also talk about Gaza, the German government's support for Israel, and whether Feldman plans to stay in Germany at all.
