- Der Tschusch ist da: Rapper and researcher Esra Özmen will converse with guest journalist Alexandra Stanić about the underrepresentation of Turkish and ex-Yugoslav contemporary music artists in the media.
(Note: “Tschusch” is a derogatory slang term used in German-speaking countries, particularly in Austria, to refer to people from the Balkans or those with a Turkish background. In recent years, marginalized communities have begun reclaiming the term as a form of empowerment and resistance.)
