Heike Graf 134 “Kanackische Welle is THE podcast for identity in Germany, a country of immigration. Twice a month the focus is on pop culture, racism, sexuality, sport, music, or gender from a post-migrant perspective. Easily understandable and yet valuable!” (https:// kanackischewelle.podigee.io). They themselves describe their podcast as “Funny and entertaining, but still able to talk about identity in a smart way. And here especial- ly racial identity, that is, your ethnic and cultural origin and also your phenotype, how you look and what it does to you” (https://kanackischewelle. podigee.io). The overall topic of Kanackische Welle is about how to live in a post-migrant society from the perspective of being a German citizen with non-German ethnic background. It is about personal experiences, including those of the invited guests, as well as expert knowledge to deepen the issues discussed. The issue of racism in society is a recurring topic: Over half of the episodes deals with it as the main topic. The target group is the younger generation, both with and without migrant backgrounds. About their listeners, the hosts say: “Among our ‘wellis’, as we call our listeners, are the 23-year-old bank employee with Sicilian parents, the 35-year-old white momwho has a brown child with her Tamil husband, or the German-Turkish medical student from the working class, who can’t cope with all snobbisms at his university” (Ohan- we & Aburakia 2020). 3.1 Who are the media producers? The producers and primary speakers in the podcast are two trained journalists with backgrounds in Palestine and Nigeria. They were born in Germany, 2nd and 3rd generation
