About
I'm a Berlin-based radio journalist with a specialist knowledge of German culture, history and politics. My work airs on National Public Radio, 3sat Kulturzeit, ZDF heute journal and RBB Kulturradio. I report both breaking news and longer-form, sound-rich stories and arts pieces. I also co-host a podcast for Stiftung Wissenschaft & Politik and have produced and co-hosted podcasts for the Heinrich Böll Foundation. Beyond journalism, I am also a published academic author and give guest lectures on radio history, sound and technology. I am currently researching the future of radio and public broadcasting in an age of fragmentation and distraction.
