In this episode host Max Hofmann discusses with DW’s Matthew Moore and author/historian Katja Hoyer what would happen if the AfD won a state outright. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/dw-berlin-briefing-inside-german-politics-7077761/episodes/what-the-afd-would-do-in-power/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/dw-berlin-briefing-inside-german-politics-7077761/what-the-afd-would-do-in-power.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
