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.”
