The German chancellor Angela Merkel started her own video podcast over a month ago. The feedback she has gotten since isn?t very positive. People claim it to be very staged and static and it?s missing that personal touch that vlogs should have. Lyssa Bochert, a well known German blogger and soon-to-be chief editor at one of Germany?s largest newspapers, and Gabe B. went to see the Chancellor last Wednesday to explain the essence of vlogging. The Chancellor was totally convinced and decided she wanted to do a spontanious interview right there in her office. Translation by Tobias Schwarz.
