Where I stand

One of Germany's highest-reach
political commentators.

Dirk Muchow dissects German politics — unsparing, fact-based, independent. No newsroom, no client, no favors owed.

Forty years an entrepreneur. His strength: authentic communication — spoken freely, in one take, straight to the point. Straight talk and common sense instead of talking points. In German, that stance has a name: Klartext.

Straight talk

He says what is — not what pleases.

Competent

Economics and politics from entrepreneurial practice, not from a textbook.

Independent

Financed by no one, accountable only to the audience.

The Work

The word KLARTEXT assembled from 1,295 tiny video thumbnails
1,295 analyses — every tile its own thumbnail.

On air since 2012. Today: a new analysis every day — uncut, in one take.
