What it is

A single subject — a court ruling, a war, a piece of German social policy — reported properly with interviews, archive tape and a scripted narration. It is the German radio feature at its best and the vocabulary is correspondingly adult: legal, political and economic terms arrive without explanation. Free and daily, but genuinely hard; treat it as a C1 target rather than a study tool, and expect to replay segments.

Episodes are played straight from the publisher's feed — nothing is hosted here, and the five newest are whatever the feed served when this page was last built. All German podcasts →
