Mein heutiger Gast ist Jörg Knör - und der ist Comedian, Parodist, Stimmen-Imitator, Karikaturist, Künstler und Entertainer: Seinen Durchbruch schaffte er 1989 mit der „Jörg Knör Show“, die im ZDF Einschaltquoten von bis zu sieben Millionen Zuschauern erreichte. Weitere Meilensteine seiner Karriere: die RTL-Show „7 Tage, 7 Köpfe“, der „Bambi“-Zuschauerpreis oder „Talk im Tudio“ auf Sat.1. Heute ist Jörg Knör hauptsächlich auf deutschen Theaterbühnen unterwegs - aktuell wieder einmal mit dem Programm „Das war's mit Stars“. Wir sprechen über die Vergänglichkeit von Prominenz, Größenwahn als Karriere-Booster, den Herbst des Lebens, Eitelkeit, seine neue Karriere als Künstler und über die heutige Belanglosig- und Beliebigkeit des deutschen Fernsehprogramms. Jörg Knör verrät, warum er es gar nicht mag, als Stimmen-Imitator bezeichnet zu werden, wieso er den heutigen Thomas Gottschalk als verzweifelt empfindet, wodurch er den Tod seines engen Freundes Udo Jürgens vorhergesagt hat und wie er es geschafft hat, an den großen Krisen seines Lebens nicht zu zerbrechen. Ich wünsche Dir gute und inspirierende Unterhaltung mit Jörg Knör!

Mein heutiger Gast ist Reporter, Künstler, Talkmaster, Unternehmer und Aktivist. Die meisten kennen Michel Abdolahi aber aus dem NDR-Talkformat „Käpt'ns Dinner“, wo er Top-Promis wie Anke Engelke, Judith Rakers oder Tim Mälzer in einem alten, ausrangierten U-Boot im Hamburger Hafen empfängt. Wir sprechen über das Bedürfnis, Menschen verstehen zu wollen, digitale Kunst, nervöse A-Promis, unvergessliche Erlebnisse ganz ohne digitale Hilfsmittel, die zum Teil gescheiterte Migrationspolitik in Deutschland und die Vorstellung, wie schön und befreiend es wäre, wenn uns allen für ein paar Monate gar keine Medien mehr zur Verfügung stehen würden. Michel Abdollahi verrät, warum er die meisten seiner ersten Einsätze als TV-Reporter gehasst und er Pläne für eine politische Laufbahn aus lauter Frust schnell wieder begraben hat, wieso in seinen Augen unsere westlich sozialisierte Gesellschaft die Kreativität weitestgehend zerstört hat und wie ihn seine ganz persönlichen Erfahrungen mit Alltagsrassismus geprägt haben. Ich wünsche dir gute und inspirierende Unterhaltung mit Michel Abdollahi!
A tudománynak szent dolognak kellene lennie – vallja Dr. Szabó Csaba, a világ egyik legtöbbet idézett gyógyszerkutatója, akinek leleplező erejű könyve jelent meg az orvosbiológiai kutatások szövevényes világáról. Nyáry Krisztiánnak ezúttal a kötet vezérfonaláról, vagyis a tudományos publikációk átláthatatlanságáról, a csalások természetéről, a pályázati pénzek körülményes hátteréről és a megkérdőjelezhető kutatási gyakorlatokról is mesél. Mindezek mellett kiderül az is, miért döntött úgy, hogy szembe megy a tudományt övező, egyre inkább kártékony intézményrendszerrel, és nem tart-e attól, hogy könyvének várható visszhangja felerősíti a tudományellenes hangokat? Az epizód elején – kapcsolódva a fentiekhez – tévedésen vagy eleve csaláson alapuló tudományos könyvekről és szerzőikről lesz szó, végül pedig tíz új természettudományos könyvet ajánlunk a hallgatóknak.

Mein heutiger Gast ist Johannes Strate - Sänger und Frontmann von „Revolverheld“, einer Band, die 2023 ihr 20-jähriges Jubiläum feierte.

Johannes Strate verrät, warum er nach der Corona-Lirepause unter starker Bühnenangst litt, wieso in seinen Augen Selbständige in der Gesellschaft stark benachteiligt werden, weshalb der Siegeszug der künstlichen Intelligenz die Musikbranche vor noch nie gekannte Herausforderungen stellt und wieso er phasenweise mit seinen Bandkollegen von Revolverheld früher zwar ordentlich gebechert hat, mit harten Drogen aber nie in Berührung gekommen ist. Ich wünsche dir gute und inspirierende Unterhaltung mit Johannes Strate!

Summary Paula Kissinger, a guest on The Blind Chick podcast, shares her story of how sports became her compass through vision loss. She grew up loving sports and found a sense of normalcy and community at a summer camp for kids with visual impairments. She discovered her love for judo at the camp and went on to compete in able-bodied competitions. Paula also talks about her passion for skiing and how she learned to ski at a young age. She now mentors young skiers and encourages them to overcome their fears. Takeaways Sports can be a compass for navigating vision loss and provide a sense of normalcy and community. Judo is an accessible sport for people with visual impairments due to its tactile nature. Skiing can be enjoyed by blind and low vision individuals with the help of guides and proper training. Parents should encourage their blind or low vision children to try sports and support their progress. Overcoming fear is an important part of participating in sports and achieving personal growth.

Mein heutiger Gast ist die Buchautorin, Kolumnistin und Feministin Lisa Ortgies. Seit mehr als zwanzig Jahren moderiert sie die Sendung „frau tv“ im WDR und mit „Lisas Paarschitt“ ist die Journalistin seit 2021 auch als Beziehungs-Podcasterin erfolgreich. Jetzt hat Lisa Ortgies mit „Heißer Scheiß: Liebe, Wut und Leben für Fortgeschrittene“, ihr neuestes Buch veröffentlicht; ein humorvolles Stimmungsbild einer Generation emanzipierter Frauen in der zweiten Lebenshälfte. Wir sprechen über kontrolliertes Ausflippen, Identitätskrisen, Zivilcourage, Konkurrenz unter Frauen, die unglaubliche Macht der Schönheitsindustrie, ihren Herzinfarkt mit Anfang 50, krank machende Lebenssituationen und positive Wut. Lisa Ortgies verrät, warum es auf Dauer lebensgefährlich sein kann, seine Emotionen zu unterdrücken, was passiert, wenn wir mit unseren Gefühlen nicht mehr in Kontakt stehen, wie altersfeindlich unsere Gesellschaft trotz aller Gegenbewegungen immer noch ist und warum sie im Alter unbedingt eine Grand Old Schachtel werden möchte. Ich wünsche dir gute und inspirierende Unterhaltung mit Lisa Ortgies!
