No wonder, then, that only 45% of Swiss citizens vote. The other 55%? They prefer to leave decisions that affect their lives to a minority. Michael Elsener – comedian and political scientist – wants to make political participation palatable again. In his podcast "POLITICAL CAKE," he serves up political and social issues in a way that we finally understand, enjoy listening to – and even develop an appetite for more. With humor, curiosity, and a sprinkle of sugar, Michael provides greater clarity. Every two weeks, he invites people who are making their mark in Switzerland and around the world. Over a slice of homemade cake, he talks to them about topics that affect us all. And when things get interesting, he probes deeper, asks surprising questions – and wants to know: What really drives these people? And how did they become the way they are?
