74 - P.S. Find tougher people (Berlin politics w/ James Jackson)

Flipping around the usual format, Berlin-based journalist James Jackson sits in the interview seat in a crossover episode of Spaßbremse and his podcast, Mad in Germany. They discuss Berlin politics, Die Linke's stance in the current Red-Green-Red negotiations, broader problems in German politics, and the fate of the CDU.
