| 12/21/25 | ![]() Episode 36 – ‘tis the Season to Watch Christmas Movies! | What gets you in a festive mood? For some it’s the lights and mulled wine, wrapping gifts and decorating their home – and for others it’s a Christmas movie! But what is a Christmas movie, anyway? Let’s discuss this with my colleague Professor Suzanne Enzerink! She picks the most American, the most iconic, and the most underrated American Christmas movie.Suzanne had joined us earlier for Episode 18 to discuss “Hollywood in Times of Political Division.” A Dutch native, she did most of her American Studies coursework at the University of Groningen, with an exchange at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and then obtained a PhD at Brown University. Before joining HSG, she served as an Assistant Professor at American University in Beirut. Her first book, Give Me Color, is scheduled be published in spring 2026.Trailers for the recommended movies:Most AmericanMost iconicMost underrated 1 / Most underrated 2Honorable mention | — | ||||||
| 12/8/25 | ![]() Episode 35 – JFKs Mörder, QAnon & Co.: Amerikas Liebe zu Verschwörungstheorien | Die Amerikaner waren nie auf dem Mond. Die CIA tötete John F. Kennedy.Die Illuminati kontrollieren alles.George Soros finanziert illegale Einwanderer, um Amerika zu destabilisieren.Dank QAnon wissen wir alle, was im Keller einer Washingtoner Pizzeria passiert.Und natürlich wurde Donald Trump 2020 um den Wahlsieg betrogen.Dies ist nur eine kleine Auswahl der Verschwörungstheorien, die in Amerika kursieren – und von denen manche sogar vom Präsidenten selbst verbreitet werden. Allerdings, so lernen wir im Gespräch mit dem Tübinger Professor Michael Butter, kennt die amerikanische Geschichte auch «gute» Verschwörungstheorien, die beispielsweise zur Abschaffung der Sklaverei beigetragen haben. Er ist der Experte für Verschwörungstheorien und hat zuletzt ein mehrjähriges europäisches Forschungsprojekt zu deren Erforschung geleitet. Sein neustes Buch zum Thema, Die Alarmierten: Was Verschwörungstheorien anrichten, ist kürzlich erschienen und knüpft an seinen Bestseller von 2018 an, Nichts ist, wie es scheint: Über Verschwörungstheorien. Seine Forschung zu Verschwörungstheorien ist auch auf Englisch erschienen, und zwar bei de Gruyter unter dem Titel Plots, Designs, and Schemes: American Conspiracy Theories from the Puritans to the Present (Berlin/Boston: de Gruyter, 2014), bei Polity The Nature of Conspiracy Theories (London: Polity, 2020).Buchtipp: Thomas Pynchon, Shadow Number / SchattennummerHörtipp: DIE ZEIT Das Politikteil mit Prof. Volker Depkat, Amerikanische Demokratie : Sind die USA auf dem Weg zum Faschismus?Copyright picture: Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen | — | ||||||
| 11/18/25 | ![]() Busting Free Market Myths With Jacob Soll – A Joint Episode of "Grüezi Amerika", "Ohne Senf" and "SQUARE Talks" | "The Free Market" has been a dominant concept in 20th century political and economic discourse – so dominant in fact that it has remained unquestioned. It has become both ambition and panacea as is reflected by the conditionalities of development banks. Let the "invisible Hand" reign supreme and all shall be well, seems to be the mantra. Yet in the 21st century, even the US right, once stalwart defenders of libertarianism, have fallen out of love with "the free market." We dissect the history of the "free market" with historian Jacob Soll whose recent book "The Free Market: History of an Idea" busts many a myth.Jacob Soll is Professor of Philosophy, History, and Accounting at the University of Southern California. He received a BA from the University of Iowa, a D.E.A. from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris, France, and a Ph.D. from Magdalene College, Cambridge University. He has taught at Cambridge University, Princeton University, Rutgers University, and the European University Institute in Fiesole, Italy, and USC. Soll has been awarded numerous prestigious prizes including the Jacques Barzun Prize from the American Philosophical Society, two NEH Fellowships, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and, in 2011, the $500,000 MacArthur "Genius Prize" Fellowship. His book "The Reckoning: Financial Accountability and the Rise and Fall of Nations" (2014) has been a global best seller. | — | ||||||
| 11/9/25 | ![]() Episode 33 – As Ohio Goes, So Goes the Nation? | "As Ohio goes, so goes the nation," thus the old saying: Ohio is reputed to be a microcosm of the US. Since 1896, the majority of Ohioans voted for the presidential winner on all but three occasions. The last time the nation decided differently was in 2020 when Trump won Ohio by 8 points but lost overall. Political observers were quick to declare that Ohio was no longer a representative state, ignoring the reasons why the state currently appears solidly red. Generally, Ohio deserves our attention: America’s 7th largest economy, comparable in fact to Switzerland, holds many clues as to what is ailing the nation, as explains guest Chris Redfern.Chris Redfern served as Chair of the Ohio Democratic Party from 2005 to 2014 and was a Member of the Ohio House of Representatives for twelve years. Nowadays, he runs an inn and winery on Lake Erie and dives into both national and state politics on his podcast "Pinot and Politics." | — | ||||||
| 10/26/25 | ![]() Episode 32 – Making a Home in America | Owning a home, surrounded by a white picket fence – that’s what many consider part of the proverbial American dream. However, Americans are increasingly pessimistic that they will ever become homeowners - they are aware that significantly more people are looking for houses than the market has on offer: there is a shortage of over 4.7 million homes. In addition, nearly a third of American households are “cost burdenend,” meaning that they need to spend at least 30% of their incomes on housing. In Chicago, the third largest city in the US, the percentage is even higher, at 43%. Why has housing become such a thorny subject in a country with abundant land? And how can the housing shortage be addressed?Joshua Bandoch, PhD, is working on this issue as Head of Policy at the Illinois Policy Institute (IPI). Prior to joining IPI, Josh was a Research Fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and a speechwriter for numerous senior government officials. He started his professional career in academia, with postdoctoral fellowships at Brown University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He earned his Bachelor’s in Government and Politics from the University of Maryland, College Park, and his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Notre Dame. His first book The Politics of Place: Montesquieu, Particularism, and the Pursuit of Liberty (University of Rochester Press, 2017) has received numerous positive reviews. His second book, How to Get What You Want, will come out next year with Simon & Schuster.Further reading: Center for Poverty Solutions Archives - Illinois PolicyAEI Housing Center | American Enterprise Institute - AEI | — | ||||||
| 10/8/25 | ![]() Episode 31 – «The Business of Human Emotion». Ins Taylorverse mit Jörn Glasenapp | «I’m in the business of human emotion,» erklärte sie letztens im Podcast ihres Verlobten – ein Business, das sie beherrscht wie niemand zuvor: Taylor Swift ist die erste Person, die mit ihrer Musik allein eine Milliarde Dollar verdient hat; kein Musiker hat mehr American Music Awards gewonnen; als einzige durfte sie viermal einen Grammy für das Album des Jahres entgegennehmen; kein Song auf Platz 1 der US-Charts war länger als das zehnminütige «All Too Well»; und selbst die Podcastepisode mit ihrem Verlobten brach Rekorde. Die Liste mit Swifts Rekorden und Erfolgen liesse sich noch lange fortsetzen und wird wohl mit dem Erscheinen ihres 12. Albums «The Life of a Showgirl» noch weiter fortgeschrieben. Höchste Zeit, sich des Phänomens Taylor Swift anzunehmen!Kaum einer kann einen im deutschsprachigen Raum besser ins «Taylorverse» einführen als der Bamberger Professor Jörn Glasenapp: Der Medienwissenschaftler und bekennende Swiftie befasst sich nicht nur aus musikalischem, sondern gerade auch aus wissenschaftlichem Interesse mit Taylor Swift. Einer breiten Leserschaft vermittelt er in der Reclam-Reihe 100 Seiten, warum Swift mehr ist als Pop und Kommerz. | — | ||||||
| 9/28/25 | ![]() Episode 30 – «This is not who we are». Gewalt in Amerika | «This is not who we are – we are good people», war nicht nur Präsident Joe Bidens Reaktion auf Auswüchse politischer Gewalt, sondern ist ein vielgehörter Satz, wann immer es in den USA zu Massenschiessereien oder politischen Attentaten kommt. Seit der Ermordung des Politaktivisten Charlie Kirk dominiert jedoch die Angst vor zunehmender Gewaltbereitschaft: Zwar lehnen in beiden politischen Lager eine überdeutliche Mehrheit der Amerikanerinnen und Amerikaner politisch motivierte Gewalt ab, doch gerade die jüngere Generation droht gegenüber deren Gefahr abzustumpfen. Insbesondere meint mehr als ein Drittel der GenZ, Gewalt sei ein probates Mittel im Kampf gegen politische Rede an Universitäten. Völlig überraschend sind diese Zahlen nicht: «Amerika hat eine Geschichte der Gewalt,» hat Professor em. Dr. Dr. hc. Elisabeth Bronfen jüngst im Bieler Tagblatt erklärt. Diese Geschichte loten wir in dieser Episode von «Grüezi Amerika!» weiter aus.Elisabeth Bronfen war während dreissig Jahren Lehrstuhlinhaberin für amerikanische Literatur und Kultur an der Universität Zürich, und ist nach wie vor Gastdozentin an der New York University. Neben vielen weiteren Auszeichnungen ist sie Ehrendoktorin der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Ihr Schaffen geht weit über die Wissenschaft hinaus und reicht von Büchern über die Diva, eine Kulturgeschichte der Nacht bis hin zu einem ersten Roman und mehreren Kochbüchern – ganz neu: «Kochen nach Laune.

| 9/14/25 | ![]() Episode 29 – Ordnung and Gemee. The Amish and Their Swiss Roots | 2025 is a special year in the history Christianity. Not only is it a holy year for Roman Catholics, it also marks the 500th anniversary of a movement that has its roots in Switzerland. While many took note of the Reformationsjahr 2017, the 500 year-celebration of the reformation, few are aware of the 2.1 million people worldwide who are celebrating an event that took place in Zurich: on January 21st in 1525, people witnessed the first adult baptism, or re-baptism. This marked the beginnings of the anabaptist movement, der Täuferbewegung. Nowadays, only 2000 anabaptists call Switzerland their home. By contrast, more than half a million Americans are anabaptists, with one group having a particular historic bond with Switzerland: the Amish. Founded by Jacob Ammann in the 17th century, the Amish even sound a bit Swiss as they still speak a particular form of German, called Pennsylvania Dutch or Amish Shwitzer. Though a relatively small group, the Amish continue to fascinate Americans as numerous reality TV shows and romantic novels set in Amish country underline. We are exploring Amish history and present with Prof. Steven M. Nolt, the director of the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College. He received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Notre Dame and holds a graduate theology degree from Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary. He is the author or coauthor of sixteen books on Amish, Mennonite, and Pennsylvania German history and contemporary life. His titles include The Amish: A Concise Introduction (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2016) and People of Peace: A History of the Virginia Mennonite Conference (Masthof Press, 2025), with Elwood Yoder. With Donald Kraybill and Karen Johnson-Weiner, he wrote The Amish (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2013), the definitive study of Amish society and cultural diversity.Further linksAmish Studies at the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies | — | ||||||
| 9/2/25 | ![]() Episode 28 – Mit Trumps Washington verhandeln. Ein Gespräch mit Alt-Botschafter Martin Dahinden | 39 Prozent. Ausgerechnet am Vorabend des Schweizer Nationalfeiertags verkündete die Regierung Donald J. Trumps, dass die Schweiz seinen «Zollhammer» zu spüren bekommt und nur vier andere Länder mit noch höheren Zöllen auf Exporte in die USA konfrontiert sind. Die Tageszeitung «Blick» färbte die Titelseite schwarz, es hagelte Anschuldigungen gegen Bundespräsidentin Karin Keller-Sutter und ihr Verhandlungsteam, man habe zu wenig keck und mutig verhandelt, privatwirtschaftliche Netzwerke ungenügend genutzt. «Schwesterrepublik» Amerika? Daran glauben im Moment wohl nur wenige Schweizer.Einer, der auch nach seiner Zeit als Botschafter in Washington, D.C., gerne über die Idee der Schwesterrepubliken spricht und nachdenkt, ist Martin Dahinden: Der promovierte Betriebswirt wirkte von 2014 bis 2019 in der amerikanischen Hauptstadt und traf mehrfach mit Präsident Trump zusammen. Zuvor war er Chef der Direktion für Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit (DEZA) und hatte Stationen in Frankreich, Nigeria sowie bei der UNO in New York hinter sich. Schon bei seinem Eintritt in den diplomatischen Dienst 1987 war er unter anderem Mitglied der Schweizer Delegation beim Allgemeinen Zoll- und Handelsabkommen GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) und in der Folge Direktor des Internationalen Zentrums für humanitäre Minenräumung in Genf (GICHD). Wir sprechen mit ihm über die Zollverhandlungen, die Veränderungen zwischen Trump 1.0 und 2.0 – und die weiteren Perspektiven der Schweiz. | — | ||||||
| 8/17/25 | ![]() Episode 27 – Gewisper in Washington. Amerika hinter den Schlagzeilen | Schlagzeilen über Amerikas Politik und Gesellschaft sind meist laut und schrill, besonders seit Donald J. Trumps zweitem Amtsantritt. Und sie sind paradoxerweise lauter und schriller diesseits des Atlantiks, wie auch der freie Journalist und Autor Marc Neumann bemerkt. In seinen Beiträgen, u.a. für die Neue Zürcher Zeitung und seinen LinkedIn-Blog Neumanns Whisper, fokussiert er stattdessen auf die Realität hinter den vereinfachenden Erzählungen und horcht auf die Zwischentöne. Im Gespräch mit «Grüezi Amerika!» teilt Marc Neumann seine Eindrücke, nicht nur zur Lage der Nation, sondern auch zu deren Beurteilung durch das deutschsprachige Europa.Marc Neumann hat ursprünglich an der Universität St.Gallen Philosophie, Deutsche Literatur und Linguistik studiert. Zudem hat er ein Master-Studium in Sozialanthropologie an der New York University (NYU) abgeschlossen. Nach langjähriger Tätigkeit in der Unternehmenskommunikation in der Schweiz und in den USA hat er sich als Journalist selbständig gemacht und schreibt für verschiedene deutschsprachige Medien. Zuletzt befasste er sich mit der medialen Verklärung von Luigi Mangione, der den CEO von United Health Care mitten in Manhattan erschoss.Marc Neumanns Lesetipps:Racket News The DispatchMarc Neumann auf LinkedIn | — | ||||||
| 7/28/25 | ![]() Episode 26 – American Compass and the New Conservatives | American Compass is, at 5 years, a relatively young think tank, but it has already become well-known for mapping an alternative to right-wing economic orthodoxy. Its founder, Oren Cass, has tirelessly explained the reason why American Compass believes the US economy – and, above all, US workers, will benefit from an overall tariff of 10 percent and why the initial pains will be rewarded with substantial gains. Vice President JD Vance has embraced the course of American Compass, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has contributed to its publications and events, and Senator Josh Hawley (Missouri) is among its many supporters. What do these New Conservatives, as the title of their new book goes, want? What is their vision beyond economic protectionism? We are tackling these questions with American Compass policy director, Chris Griswold. Before joining the think tank, he was a senior advisor in the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and Deputy Chief of Staff, U.S. Representative Tom MacArthur (New Jersey). Before working on Capitol Hill, Griswold helped launch and run a nationwide youth development nonprofit in South Africa. He is a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary (M.Div.) and Wheaton College.LinksRerum Novarum: Rerum Novarum (May 15, 1891) | LEO XIII"In God They Trust: Understanding the Catholic Moment in American Politics" by Claudia Brühwiler | — | ||||||
| 7/20/25 | ![]() Episode 25 – Migration beyond Myths & Polemics | We already seem to have forgotten it, but it has only been weeks that President Donald J. Trump federalized the National Guard to re-establish order in the city of Los Angeles amidst protests against deportations of undocumented immigrants. What L.A. mayor Karen Bass and California’s Governor Gavin Newsom condemned as a presidential abuse of power, Republican lawmakers in California considered a necessary step to prevent further escalation. Few issues are as divisive in US politics as immigration – and on few issues do voters see so little progress and true reform. What is the situation at the border really like? What steps could and should Congress take to reform the migration system? We discuss these questions with Kristie De Peña, Senior Vice President for Policy and Director of Immigration Policy at the Niskanen Center, a think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C. Before joining Niskanen Center, Kristie held various positions in the public and nonprofit sectors. She earned her LL.M. in national security and foreign policy from George Washington University School of Law and her law degree (J.D.) from the University of Iowa College of Law. De Peña has written for various media outlets, including The New York Times and Time magazine, and is frequently cited in, CNBC, The New York Times, USA Today, Bloomberg, Newsweek, and others. She was named one of the most influential people shaping policy in 2024 by the Washingtonian.Reading recommendation: "In Our Interest: How Democracies Can Make Immigration Popular" by Alexander Kustov. | — | ||||||
