„In Good Shape?“: Live Podcast on the Future of the Basic Law
The Forum Recht Foundation is producing its second podcast in collaboration with detektor.fm
We're currently working full steam ahead on our latest project: our first podcast on law and justice „Justice, baby!“ The podcast „In Good Shape? The Basic Law for Tomorrow“ serves as an equally thought-provoking follow-up. We want to know how the Basic Law is faring and what direction it is taking in German society. How sound is our constitution? What threats does it face from the outside, and what from the inside?
The podcast will be released shortly before the 75th anniversary of our Basic Law. We are currently producing it in collaboration with Leipzig Podcast Radio. detektor.fm.
Live Podcast
The ten episodes of „In Good Shape? The Basic Law for Tomorrow“ will be released every two weeks starting Wednesday, May 8, 2024, on all major podcast platforms and the Forum Recht Foundation’s website. They will be available to listen to free of charge.
What makes this event special is that the audience can be there live during the recording of the episodes. For this, our event space in downtown Leipzig is transformed into a state-of-the-art recording studio: atmospheric lighting, a stage, and—right in front of it—an exclusive area for our audience. Passersby can get a glimpse through our floor-to-ceiling windows, but it’s even better to take a seat right in the Stiftungsstudio and follow the conversations. Anyone who’d like to can contribute or participate in interactive elements, such as polls.
Subsequent podcast episodes will group the results of the discussions by topic, creating a new, standalone experience for both participants and first-time listeners.
