About the podcast

Beetle, camper van, economic miracle. This is how Volkswagen became a legend. Yet for years the company has been in crisis: power struggles, scandals and the biggest scandal in the automotive industry have shaken VW, a company more intertwined with German history than any other. In the six-part F.A.Z. podcast series, business correspondent Christian Müßgens travels across Germany, to Silicon Valley and to China. He speaks with managers and works council members, politicians and VW enthusiasts - with those who uncovered the scandals and those who have to clean up after them. And he pursues the decisive question: Will Volkswagen return to its former strength? The first two episodes are available free of charge from May 7. All further episodes will be released every Thursday from May 14 - exclusively with FAZ+ on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
