Five years of inspiration: Goodbye, Greiner Talks! For five years, Alexander Berth invited fascinating personalities from a wide variety of fields to appear on Greiner Mikro – from icon and behavioral scientist Jane Goodall to environmental activist and influencer Robert Marc Lehmann to Paralympic star and presenter Andreas Onea. After five years and 45 episodes, we now say “Goodbye, Greiner Talks!”
In September 2020, the first episode of our corporate podcast Greiner Talks went online: an interview with Fred Luks, an expert in sustainable transformation. In the years that followed, the podcast's appearance, structure, and sound changed somewhat, but one thing always remained the same: inspiring guests whose statements, ideas, and expertise provoked thought. The goal was clear: to provide food for thought that would help us overcome the great challenges of our time.
Here are a few facts and figures about Greiner Talks:
45 episodes, 1 host
Approximately 20 minutes per episode
More than 17,000 plays
More than 700,000 impressions on social media
Lots of positive feedback and inspiration
We came up with something very special to mark the end of Greiner Talks: Alexander Berth switched to the other side of the microphone and looked back on his five years as podcast host. Elisabeth Reiter from Greiner's communications team chatted with him about his personal highlights, lessons learned, and the impact such a format can have.
„After almost 50 conversations, I discovered a pattern that really surprised me. We had guests from all sorts of professions and fields, but they all ended on a similar note: To be hopeful and to be positively looking into the future.”
You can listen to the last regular episode with (the first and last guest) Fred Luks here.

Greiner Talks was our podcast on the topic of transformation. Alexander Berth spoke with experts from around the world to learn more about their perspectives on the future of our economy and society.
