We thank @lasseramson for helping us understand Austrian law and @holnburger for teaching me webscraping for this! The paper wouldn't be the same without comments by @VETroeger, @FetscherVerena, @ascharpf2, the hosts of the @PopulismSeminar and our reviewers!
We are back after a long summer break. We kick the season off with a podcast interview on @POP_TweetsOnPop 's recent book, The Populism Interviews (https://t.co/IBF7iQwemq). Let us know what you would like to know from Luca until Thursday 12 CET. DMs are open or respond directly.
We had the pleasure of hosting @POP_TweetsOnPop for an interview on his recent book and the blog more general. We hope you appreciate the peek behind the curtains. You can find the interview here: https://t.co/wfcgS6NEaB . Thanks again, Luca, for joining us!
One of the working titles of the book was "Everything you always wanted to know about populism...but were afraid to ask".
