The Berlin Playbook Podcast concludes the year 2025 with a feedback episode. Gordon reflects on a packed political year and anticipates what’s to come in 2026. The episode is based on listener comments and emails: praise, criticism, suggestions, and questions about the podcast, formats, interviews, and thematic focuses.
The spotlight is on the podcast’s development, the 200-second interviews, the Machthaber series, walking formats, and engaging with political figures across the party spectrum. Gordon explains why he continues to embrace experimentation, how interviews should be conducted, and where he sees limits.
The episode also provides insight into editorial decisions, the expansion of POLITICO formats, new thematic focuses, and teamwork.
The Berlin Playbook podcast is available every morning from 5 am. Gordon Repinski and the POLITICO team offer compact, international, and insightful political content.
