Episode description
Welcome to “Wisdom of the Crowd”, a podcast miniseries that explores the future of transatlantic relations. From democracy and geopolitics to climate change and technology, we take a closer look at the most pressing issues impacting the transatlantic alliance by interviewing top experts and using a strategy of crowd-sourced forecasting. We don’t just rely on experts and policy makers; we listen to a crowd of forecasters, and YOU, to determine the outcome of future events. We call that “the wisdom of the crowd”.
Our guests in this episode are Ambassador Derek Mitchell, the current President of the National Democratic Institute (or NDI) and former US Ambassador to Myanmar (also known as Burma) from 2012 to 2016; and Mark R. Thompson, director of the Southeast Asia Research Center at the City University of Hong Kong and an expert on Southeast Asian governance.
Wisdom of the Crowd is produced by the Bertelsmann Foundation, the Bertelsmann Stiftung, Are We Europe, and Awe Studio. Sound design for this episode was done by Stefano Montali with editing by Kyrill Hartog. Research was done by Daniela Rojas Medina and Anthony Silberfeld. The podcast artwork is by Tamara Tasić, and this series is hosted by Rylie Munn.
