Who am I—and more importantly, why?
My name is Fabian Chira and I'm an observer of how politics, society, economics, and technology shape the lives we lead.
I was born in Romania in 1979 and have been based in Bavaria, Germany since 2011.
I’m married to my brilliant and beautiful wife, Eva, my favorite conversational sparring partner and co-conspirator in curiosity.
Fabian’s Zeitgeist began as a hobby, but quickly evolved into a globally-minded podcast exploring current affairs, European and international politics, economic trends, cultural shifts, and the social dynamics that impact us all.
I offer bold commentary and personal insight on topics that matter—not just to me, but to many. This podcast is my way of making sense of the world and opening the door to thoughtful dialogue.
Whether you’re in Berlin, Boston, Bangalore, Bucharest or even in places that don't start with a B, but where ideas are welcome, you’re in the right place here.
I welcome critical and contradictory opinions. Why?
Because, as Socrates said,
Scio me nihil scire
(“I know that I know nothing”)
Only through open conversations can we learn, grow, refine our perspectives, and—even better—change them when presented with stronger arguments.
Thank you for listening to my podcast and for joining me on this journey of thought.
Warmly,
Fabian
