POLEMICS REC.
POLEMICS REC. is a student-run podcast at the Diplomatische Akademie Wien – Vienna School of International Studies, built from the voices, creative contributions, and editorial input of our diverse student body.
Benefiting from the vibrant international community here in Vienna, it produces two monthly formats. In Conversation is an expert interview series covering contemporary issues in international affairs by sitting down with global leaders, diplomats, and experts in their field. In the other format, The Roundtable, students take the lead in exploring the same issues through open and diverse debate.
Polemics Rec. further cooperates closely with Polemics Magazine to supply topical content across both outlets and to put together events for students at the Academy.
