„Darwin gefällt das“

History doesn’t have to be as dry as school textbooks sometimes suggest. Those unwieldy tomes don’t cover everything that has ever happened. Anna Bühler and Christian Alt focus on precisely these gaps in their podcast, produced by Munich-based Studio Kugel und Niere, where they dig up historical events that are too absurd to go unmentioned. Each episode tells the story of a new “historical fail” – entertaining, poignant, and so bizarre that Charles Darwin would definitely leave a like on Instagram if he could.

„Auf den Punkt“

The world is spinning so fast that headlines are bombarding us. With countless reports coming in, it’s hard to keep track of everything. This is where the Süddeutsche Zeitung news podcast comes in: in around ten minutes, journalists summarize the day’s key topics concisely. Whether it’s politics, business, or society – if you want to stay up to date without drowning in a flood of information, this is the perfect daily companion.

„Wine Wednesday“

What could be better than chatting with your best friend until you cry with laughter? That’s exactly the feeling Jani and Alina conjure up for their listeners. The two former roommates from the KiKA show “Die Mädchen-WG” are now in their late twenties and still just as entertaining. Connecting from Munich and Middle Franconia, they talk week after week about life between situational relationships, weddings, and everyday dramas. The result is a mix of honest insights, spontaneous jokes, and chaotic chatter.

„Doc’s Diary“

The health podcast by aspiring doctor Alina Walbrun is no substitute for a medical check-up, but it does provide plenty of inspiration for a healthier life. Every Sunday, the Munich-based med-fluencer talks, sometimes solo, sometimes together with Jonas Gaida or exciting guests, about everything that keeps body and mind fit in the long term – from nutrition and exercise to lifestyle topics. Easy to understand, motivating, and practical, the podcast explains how to integrate healthy routines into everyday life step by step. After listening, you’re guaranteed to feel inspired to get active and take your habits to the next level.

„Die Heinlinis – Ein Paar für alle Fälle“

From the first butterflies in their stomachs to 17 years of partnership: Avreliane and Basti know that love can be quiet at times and loud at others, but above all, it is something beautiful. In their podcast, the Munich-based couple talks about everything that comes with a long-term relationship: from big emotions and little quirks to moments when it’s important to stick with it. With plenty of humor, honesty, and palpable lightheartedness, the Heinlinis show one thing above all else: in the age of online dating and situational relationships, long-term partnerships are just as exciting – and the stories about them are definitely worth hearing.

Instyle GenZ – „Come sit with us“

True to the motto “You can sit with us,” hosts Angela and Naomi make themselves comfortable on the Instyle couch every two weeks. They invite guests and listeners to discuss everything that’s currently on the minds of Gen Z. Spoiler alert: that’s a whole lot. From TikTok trends to internet culture to fashion phenomena, nothing goes uncommented here. Relaxed, critical, and always in tune with their generation, the two deliver a mix of entertainment and reflection that is not only fun but also shows how fast-paced and multi-layered Gen Z topics really are.

„Bergfreundinnen“

The mountains are calling – and Toni, Kaddi, and Lisa answer every week with new stories about hiking and mountain life. The BR podcast by the three outdoor-loving friends focuses on a different major topic each month: from backpacking adventures to encounters with inspiring mountaineers to personal summit highlights. Authentic, approachable, and full of female empowerment, the podcast inspires everyone who loves the mountains or wants to discover them for themselves.

„Stets bemüht“

Starting a podcast just for fun – that’s exactly what Mirella Precek and Casa Carlo decided to do, and they just went for it. Since then, there has been a classic chat podcast every Thursday: little preparation, but all the more entertainment. With humor, self-irony, and a good dose of lightheartedness, the two always strive to make their listeners laugh. Honest, likeable, and pleasantly chaotic, they prove that the best stories often come from talking off the cuff.
