Episodes (16)
1. We need Global Vaccine Distribution
Aired 28 January 2022 • 30 min
Why are we still in the middle of a fucking pandemic despite the vaccine? The research team at ZDF Magazin Royale has discovered: There's a world outside of Germany. AND who would have thought: When it comes to vaccinations, the world splits in half!
2. The Problem with Psychotherapy Places
Aired 4 February 2022 • 30 min
Thanks to Freud, there has been an effective treatment for mental illness for over 100 years: psychotherapy! While it helps, in Germany it's easier to get a free PCR test than a psychotherapy appointment.
3. Who is Peter Thiel?
Aired 11 February 2022 • 30 min
Eternal life & world domination - who is Peter Thiel, the future boss of Austria's disgraced former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz?
4. The Problem with German Culture of Remembrance
Aired 18 February 2022 • 30 min
When was the last time you thought about National Socialism? Over half of all Germans don't like to think about it and would prefer to put an end to the topic.
5. What's Happening here? - Putin's War in Europe
Aired 4 March 2022 • 30 min
What a week! There's another war in Europe. War in the 21st century! Should we update all our news apps around the clock and follow the Klitschkos' Instagram stories, or just put our smartphones away?
6. Porn on the Internet
Aired 11 March 2022 • 30 min
Paying for things online? Never! Especially not for pornography, which is accessible 24/7. And the age restriction is even easier to bypass than the Sanifair turnstile. So, all good, right?
7. Direction of Frustration: Deutsche Bahn
Aired 18 March 2022 • 30 min
Honestly, our relationship with Deutsche Bahn is a case of couples therapy. They keep standing us up and making us wait, but in the end, we still find ourselves standing hopefully on one of their tracks. And they take our money, too.
8. The Godfather of Schlager
Aired 25 March 2022 • 30 min
Music, dance, life, passion – nowhere are these powerful concepts more united than in pop music. And pop shows are always on TV! Brilliantly produced events with special effects, stars, and all of it packed into a compact 180 minutes.
9. The Power of Viktor Orbán
Aired 1 April 2022 • 30 min
Right-wing populist rulers are all the rage! And the current show is about one of these right-wing poster boys: Viktor Orbán – formerly liberal, now right-wing nationalist.
10. Look like you're on Instagram
Aired 8 April 2022 • 30 min
If you click through the timelines and hashtags, you'll quickly find yourself talking about cosmetic surgeries from fitness influencers. And these surgical procedures are advertised there just as casually as the latest running shoes from the human fountain of youth, Kai Pflaume.
11. Clemens Tönnies – Born to Slaughter
Aired 22 April 2022 • 30 min
Clemens Tönnies has them all: the mini wiener chain, the grill torch, and the crispy ham – all the delicious meat products made from ground cartilage, hooves, and bacon that we love so much on the grill. What's going on behind the butchered pigs of the slaughterhouse empire?
12. Putin's Puppets in Germany
Aired 29 April 2022 • 30 min
We were all deceived by Vladimir Putin—and above all, DISAPPOINTED. But at least we're now on the right side in a war. All of Germany is against Putin. Except for a few who spread Putin's propaganda here, too.
13. Fynn Kliemann: Building Shit (DIY)
Aired 6 May 2022 • 30 min
Fynn Kliemann has all sorts of things in his portfolio: DIY, NFTs, and so on. But what do you do when a global pandemic suddenly appears? How can you give something back to society?
14. What Germany thinks about Opinion Research
Aired 13 May 2022 • 34 min
"That's a lot of opinion for so little knowledge." This sentence is often heard in editorial conferences and got us thinking. Who's constantly calling the landline, and what does the Sunday question have to do with Germans' sex lives?
15. Deportations, Oligarch Money and Poison Gas
Aired 20 May 2022 • 35 min
We love vacations. Whether it's winter or summer break, we're basically always on some beach with cocktails and diving lessons included. We especially enjoy traveling with TUI. Let the ozone hole be the ozone hole for a while and chill out.
16. 404: police not found
Aired 27 May 2022 • 35 min
Who is actually responsible for prosecuting hate speech online? Each of the 16 federal states is responsible for its own actions – what could possibly go wrong? The Internet police patrol car urgently needs to be inspected.
