POLITICO podcast turns spotlight on Turkish President Erdoğan
POLITICO's "Berlin Playbook" podcast has released an episode in its recurring "Machthaber" series focused on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a format examining influential and controversial political figures.
POLITICO's German-language daily podcast "Berlin Playbook" has published a new episode as part of its recurring "Machthaber" (German for "power holders") segment, this time dedicated to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
About the format
"Machthaber" is an editorial project from POLITICO in which each installment profiles one influential or controversial politician. The stated aim of the series is to show how such leaders think and make decisions, and what that means for audiences — offering a look behind the scenes of political power.
The "Berlin Playbook" podcast is hosted by POLITICO Executive Editor Gordon Repinski, with new episodes released every morning starting at 5 a.m. The show is described by its producers as compact, international and providing political background and context.
Accompanying newsletter
Alongside the podcast, POLITICO also offers a "Berlin Playbook" newsletter, which each morning compiles the key political topics of the day along with analysis. It is available as a free subscription for those following political developments in Germany's capital.
The source material does not disclose the specific content or assessments of Erdoğan made within the episode itself — the published information relates only to the show's format, host and distribution channels.
