This podcast episode is a first: For the first time, the Voices Team recorded a series in front of an audience. On the stage of the "mirror hall" in Berlin sat three prominent Millennials from politics, in the audience around 300 guests. It was about being young in politics and whether Germany neglected the issues of boys.

The guests: Philipp Amthor (CDU), Luise Amtsberg (Greens) and Juso boss Kevin Kühnert. In the podcast they talk about moments when they are underestimated or not taken seriously because of their age. "Kevin, this is not a game," GroKo critic Kühnert has often heard in discussions. Luise Amtsberg, who is now 34 years old, has determined that it is easier for young politicians beyond the 30s: "getting married and having a baby is something that calms some."

"This is still green behind the ears", this accusation also knows Philipp Amthor, who has won his constituency as the latest direct candidate. Satisfied, the 26-year-old states: "Today I sit in the Bundestag and the guy who did not say that."
