🇩🇪 Germany Episodes

Anne is a specialist in internal medicine and rheumatology, a bestselling author, and known to many as "Doc Fleck" from television and her books. I wanted to know from her how we can start the new year healthy, what exactly silent inflammations are, why they drive so many of our modern diseases, and how we manage to live healthily in the long term. We talk about good and bad fats, about healthy breakfast and dinner – I had questions about pasta, pesto, and snacks. It's about autophagy, longevity, spirituality, breath, and the question of how to truly integrate health knowledge into everyday life in the long term.

Klaus Becker is waiting for the subway. Then someone pushes him from behind onto the tracks. But why?

Woop! Woop! To kick off the week, we immediately ran into technical problems, so I'm sorry that today's episode is so late. But in return, I'm bringing you something very interesting: with Julian Heissler, we'll be discussing "America's Oligarchs" (Piper), and with Philipp Woldin, I'll be talking about "New German Violence" (C.H.Beck). Enjoy!^^

Shi Heng Yi is a Shaolin master, head of the Shaolin Temple Europe in Otterberg, and an author. Two years ago, he was already a guest at Hotel Matze – back then, "tidying up" was on his inner to-do list. Now we meet again, in the middle of the January reset, and I wanted to know from him what became of his tidying-up plans, how he deals with control, responsibility, and letting go today, and how he explains the extremes of our current times. It's about childhood patterns, dopamine and adrenaline in everyday life, extreme sports, doing nothing, the feeling of not being enough – and about the (golden) middle path.

A nearly two-year-old boy is abused for months – and no one intervenes. Family, neighbors, doctors, and authorities look away until it is too late for Nick.

Woop! Woop! Happy New Year - I wish us all that 2026 will be better, including for democracy, than 2025. I'm starting the year with Daniel Marwecki and "The World After the West" (Ch. Links). Additionally, Artur Weigandt and I ask ourselves who we would fight for and why (C.H.Beck). Enjoy!^^

Benjamin is an author, journalist, and for several years now, we've had our shared New Year's Eve tradition at Hotel Matze. This time, I wanted to know from him how he's really doing, why writing always brings fear with it, and what it means to be identical with a work. We talk about cheating, contradictions, Cyprus, art, success, relapses, tomatoes being thrown against trees, new books, and why artists owe us nothing.

Bill and Tom are identical twins and became internationally famous with their band “Tokio Hotel” almost exactly 20 years ago. Having grown up in Magdeburg, the two now live in the USA and share much of their daily lives both in their podcast “Kaulitz Hills” and in their own Netflix series “Kaulitz & Kaulitz”. The last time we spoke was at the end of 2020 on Hotel Matze, and I wondered what had changed for the two of them since then. I wanted to know from them how their weekly and very personal podcast has changed their lives, what their “second spring” feels like to them, and why they enjoy being in the public eye so much these days. We talk about openness, heartbreak, love, self-protection, and happiness.

Today is Christmas. We conclude the advent calendar with three men who once in their lives wanted to be lucky and again didn't do it right.

Sabine is a court reporter and the voice of ZEIT Verbrechen, Filiz is a comedian and toured this year with her first solo show, Fahri is an actor and producer, and Aki Bosse is a musician who is currently on the road with new songs. I wanted to know from the four what their year was like, what changes concerned them, and why sometimes the most honest moments of the year arise around Christmas. We talk about midlife crisis, stress without vacation, hangovers, murder trials, shitstorms, children moving out, safe spaces for humor, spring energy and winter lows, global frustration and hope. It was a very special Christmas episode including a live experiment by Fahri – and I am happy to be able to end the year with so much laughter.

The court should punish the accused. But what if life has already punished him harder than the judge could?

Woop! Woop! We have a year of Trump and many, many days of Merz behind us... Time for an extensive conversation with Albrecht von Lucke for the year-end. So, before my podcast winter break, I set off for the Blätter editorial office to talk about a year that felt like a decade. Enjoy!^^

This stable owner is very mindful, values diversity and respect. Unfortunately not consistently.

To conclude the year, I sit down with Philip Siefer and look back at 2025 with the help of our "Best of the Day" list: relationship and boundaries, fatherhood, health – and a turbulent unicorn year between crisis, honesty, and a fresh start. Also: why comedy sometimes feels like a safe space and which two words we're taking into the next year.

Prosecutors are usually absolutely certain of their case. But then suddenly black turns out to be white, and vice versa.

Why is a young man beaten up? Sometimes even the judge can't figure it out.

Was it all just a joke? Or did a failed police applicant make an indecent offer to an examiner?

Boys go to the football club to learn team spirit. But sometimes there they only learn to survive.

Winfried Kretschmann is the Minister-President of Baden-Württemberg, the first Green head of government of a federal state, and a former high school teacher. We spoke live in front of an audience in Stuttgart. I wanted to know from him what the purpose of politics is, how it feels to have been in office for over 5,000 days, and why he says politics shouldn't be fun. We talk about fate and responsibility, homeland, childhood, and Hannah Arendt. It's about power and freedom, nationalism as poison for democracy, and what it means to create a politics of being heard.

It is known that the "Last Generation" likes to glue themselves. But why at the headquarters of the Greens?
