„Sicherheitshalber“ ist der Podcast zur sicherheitspolitischen Lage in Deutschland, Europa und der Welt. In Folge 8 nehmen Thomas Wiegold, Frank Sauer, Carlo Masala und Ulrike Franke zunächst Deutschlands nichtständigen Sitz im UN-Sicherheitsrat zum Anlass, mit ihrem Gast Carl-Philipp Sassenrath etwas grundlegender über das Verhältnis von Macht und Recht in der internationalen Politik nachzudenken. Im Zentrum des zweiten Teils steht die Bilanz der deutschen Auslandseinsätze der letzten Jahre. Am Ende dieser ersten Folge im neuen Jahr 2019 erwartet die HörerInnen ein neues Segment: Im „Sicherheitshinweis” greifen die vier Podcaster ab jetzt kurz und knapp solche sicherheitspolitischen Themen auf, die interessant, kurios, erwähnenswert, aber (noch) nicht reif für eine Diskussion sind.
Lange Shownotes sind auf Soundcloud zu finden.
