Seit vielen Jahren geistert das Schlagwort „Populismus“ durch die Medien. Was ist das eigentlich ganz genau? Der Politikwissenschaftler Jan-Werner Müller hat dazu eine klare These: Populismus ist die Behauptung eines einheitlichen „Volks“-Willens.
Was heißt das ganz genau? Ist das etwas schlimmes? Und was hat dieses Thema in der Staatstheorie zu suchen? Darum geht es in der heutigen Episode. Es stellt sich heraus: Populismus berührt einen inneren Widerspruch im Begriff „Demokratie“. Und er klingt manchmal ziemlich nach Rousseau. Zu Recht?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
