“MUT” - FOCUS online launches video podcast series with Tijen Onaran
by Jule Pinno
“We dare to break out in courage for Germany,” says Tijen Onaran about the video podcast series with FOCUS online that starts today. Under the title “MUT - Der Deutschland-Talk”, the news portal from BurdaForward is dedicating the new format to the major challenges of our time. In conversation with top representatives from business and politics, entrepreneur Onaran takes an unbiased look at the situation: honest, direct and consistently in search of solutions.
Real courage is needed when it comes to strengthening our democracy and ensuring that our society holds together. That is why I will not mince my words with my guests and will talk very specifically about what can really move our country forward.“
Green Party leader Ricarda Lang kicks off the new format. She will be a guest on the first episode, in which she will discuss the future of Germany with podcast host Onaran in a confrontational but above all constructive manner.

“We may have focused too much on the issue against the right. That doesn't get anyone excited about politics. Instead, we need to say where we want to go, what kind of society we want to live in,” Lang said self-critically during the interview.
Other interviewees in the FOCUS online video podcast include 102-year-old Holocaust survivor Margot Friedländer, former Siemens CEO Joe Kaeser, BSW chairwoman and member of the Bundestag Sahra Wagenknecht, author Ahmad Mansour and sustainability and transformation expert Maja Göpel.
It is time to talk very openly about the resilience of our democracy. When the fringes gain strength, we need a dialog that extends beyond bubbles and generates constructive ideas. As one of the largest news media, we believe we have a responsibility here.“

At an exclusive launch event at the China Club in Berlin on Monday evening, BurdaForward CEO Daniel Steil, Tijen Onaran and Florian Festl welcomed almost 100 guests from the worlds of business and politics. Daniel Steil said that Lang in particular had shown courage by taking on an unknown format as a premiere guest.
In an interview with Florian Festl, Margot Friedländer appealed to the media, but above all to people's common sense: “What happened must never happen again. It is in your hands. Be human beings.”
The video production for the new format ‘MUT - Der Deutschland-Talk’ is in the experienced hands of BurdaStudios. For this video podcast, Burda is once again working hand in hand. We are delighted that BurdaStudios is supporting our FOCUS online teams with its energy and expertise in both production and conceptual development.

BurdaForward Communications
My journey at BurdaForward began after my bachelor's degree. Originally starting as an intern, I completed my traineeship and then joined the company as Communications Manager - a decision that turned out to be absolutely right. Corporate Communications is the central nervous system of the company and that's exactly why it's so exciting. Every day brings new challenges and I love being a part of it. When I'm not in the office, I spend my time outdoors with my dog or discovering new corners of beautiful Hamburg.
