The latest episode of Heard Tell podcast has Ordinary Times’ Andrew Donaldson talking German elections and the legacy of departing Chancellor Angela Merkel with Alexander Bowen.

So you might have Heard Tell that our German friends had an election recently and are forming a new government. The interesting thing is that government for the first time in nearly 16 years will not including Angela Merkel as Chancellor. This is a huge change not just in Germany, but in the world order as the most powerful woman in the world passes off the scene from helming Europe’s largest economy and a pivotal political player in global affairs. Alexander Bowen from Young Voices UK joins us to explain the unique background and career of Merkel, how her rise to power paralleled a changing and reunified Germany, and breaks down the leaders and political parties that will be shaping Germany in the future. Turning down the news cycle noise on the politics and prospects of one of America’s most important allies, Germany, and getting to great information to help us discern out times on this episode of Heard Tell.
