Series will bring together thought leaders, artists, policymakers, and changemakers from around the globe to explore fresh perspectives on some of today’s most pressing issues
Salzburg Global is proud to announce the launch of its new podcast series, "Conversation Changers," offering listeners worldwide the chance to experience the spirit of dialogue, openness, and innovation that has defined Salzburg Global since its founding in 1947.
Hosted by journalist and Salzburg Global Fellow Eric Olander, the series brings together thought leaders, artists, policymakers, and changemakers from around the globe to explore fresh perspectives on some of today’s most pressing issues.
Each episode invites listeners to “slow down,” step beyond soundbites, and engage in thoughtful, intergenerational, and international conversations.
To launch the new podcast, Eric speaks with Salzburg Global President and CEO Martin Weiss for a pilot episode. Together, they discuss the organization’s origins in the aftermath of World War II, the enduring importance of dialogue and reconciliation, and the unique role of Schloss Leopoldskron as a place for transformative encounters.
Martin reflects on Salzburg Global’s evolution, its growing global network of 40,000 Fellows, and the hopes for how the podcast will extend Salzburg Global’s reach to new audiences.
