Café Berlin
Café Berlin brings the big, global questions down to earth. Hosted by Ian Oxnevad and Lilla Nóra Kiss, the podcast explores how global competition for security, technology, and energy shapes the future of universities, civic life, and the free world. Each episode features sharp conversations with leading scholars, policymakers, and national security experts about the ideas and conflicts reshaping higher education—and why they matter far beyond campus.
