Der Krieg zwischen Israel und Iran eskaliert weiter – eine neue Stufe im Nahost-Konflikt. Nach einer etwas längeren, auch historischen Einordnung diskutieren Jule und Sascha über die Lage in Gaza, die Debatte rund um Israel und auch die medialen Verzerrungen. Sie sprechen auch über das Regime im Iran als nachgewiesener Sponsor des Terrors. Schließlich reden sie über die Möglichkeit, sehr verschiedene Haltungen zu diesem Thema zu haben – wenn man sie mit realen Fakten begründet und nicht mit Fake News, ausgedachter Propaganda oder gezielten Auslassungen.

Lilith Stangenberg ist bekannt für ihre kompromisslose Hingabe an komplexe und oft verstörende Rollen. Sie entscheidet sich häufig instinktiv für Figuren, die sie herausfordern und ungewöhnlich erscheinen. Im Kino war sie unter anderem in „Lügen und andere Wahrheiten“, „Der Staat gegen Fritz Bauer“, „Wild“ und „Sterben“ zu sehen. In „Stammheim – Zeit des Terrors“ verkörpert sie die RAF-Terroristin Gudrun Ensslin. Wie es war, im Originaltrakt der Stammheimer Justizvollzugsanstalt zu drehen, erzählt sie hier. Noch eindrucksvoller sind nur ihre Schilderungen vom Dreh zu „Wild“, bei dem sie mit einem echten Wolf vor der Kamera stand. Danach versteht man, warum Lilith Stangenberg zu den speziellsten – und zugleich eindrucksvollsten – Schauspielerinnen Deutschlands zählt.

Die Suche nach dem Mörder seines Onkels führt Kilian nach Amman, der Hauptstadt Jordaniens. Er trifft dort einen Mann, auf dessen Namen er im Laufe der Recherche immer wieder gestoßen ist: Bassam Abu Sharif. Er wurde in manchen Medien in den 70ern „das Gesicht des Terrors“ genannt. Über Bassam Abu Sharif wurde immer wieder gesagt: Wenn es einer weiß, wer Robert Pfeffer getötet hat, dann er. Kilian ist angesichts dieser Reise hin- und hergerissen: zwischen der Hoffnung auf Antworten und den Warnungen, Bassam lieber nicht zu treffen. Weiß Bassam wirklich, wer der Mörder ist? Ihr habt Feedback, Kritik oder kanntet Robert Pfeffer? Dann schreibt uns unter RobertPfefferPodcast@swr3.de Bei “Zwei Schüsse ins Herz – Warum musste mein Onkel sterben?” gibt es ab sofort alle Folgen in der ARD Audiothek und wöchentlich jeweils eine neue Folge überall sonst, wo es Podcasts gibt.

"Dear Hongrang" ist ein außergewöhnliches Historiendrama aus Südkorea, das auf Netflix mit Bildgewalt und emotionaler Tiefe erzählt wird. Im Zentrum steht die rätselhafte Rückkehr eines jungen Mannes, der als Kind spurlos verschwand und Jahre später als Fremder in sein wohlhabendes Elternhaus zurückkehrt.Vor der prachtvollen Kulisse der Joseon-Dynastie entfaltet sich ein fein komponiertes Drama über Identität, Familie und Verdrängung. Visuell ist die Serie ein Kunstwerk: opulente Kostüme, atmosphärisches Licht und sorgfältig inszenierte Landschaften machen jedes Bild zu einem Gemälde.Besonders hervorzuheben ist das nuancierte Spiel der Hauptdarsteller, allen voran Shin Ye-eun und Jung Gun-joo, die ihren Figuren Tiefe, Würde und stille Zerrissenheit verleihen. "Dear Hongrang" ist kein lautes Drama, sondern ein leises Meisterwerk. Wer sich auf die ruhige Erzählweise einlässt, wird mit einer bewegenden Geschichte belohnt und mit Bildern, die lange im Gedächtnis bleiben.Eine ausführliche Kritik zu "Dear Hongrang" von Ronny Rüsch und Axel Max - jetzt in einer neuen Folge des Film- und Serien-Podcasts "Oscars & Himbeeren". Außerdem dabei: die Drama-Serie "The Rookie", das Biopic "In Liebe, Eure Hilde" sowie das Dokudrama "Stammheim - Zeit des Terrors".
November 1918: Der Erste Weltkrieg steht vor seinem Ende. Im Wald von Compiègne verhandelt Matthias Erzberger unter enormem Druck den Waffenstillstand. Seine Unterschrift besiegelt das Ende eines globalen Infernos – und wird zugleich zum Symbol für Mut, Verantwortung und die schwere Last des Friedens. Gemeinsam mit dem Historiker Dr. Christopher Dowe besprechen wir den langen Weg des Friedens und welch entscheidende Rolle der heute kaum noch bekannte Politiker Matthias Erzberger dabei spielte.Den Podcast "Tatort Baden-Württemberg.

The movement is called anti-aging, not anti-injury. How do people who believe they have a real shot at immortality interact with the phenomena of safetyism?
Fünf Schüsse in Arme, Beine und Kopf. Dann stoßen die Mörder den Diplomaten Andreas von Mirbach kopfüber eine Steintreppe hinunter. Hanns Martin Schleyer wird nach mehr als 40 Tagen Geiselhaft ermordet – weil der Staat der Erpressung durch die RAF nicht nachgibt. Es sind Verbrechen, die rund 50 Jahre her sind. Die Täter der RAF sind bis heute in den Medien präsent. Aber welche Folgen haben die Morde bis heute für die Angehörigen? Darüber diskutieren Holger Schmidt und der ehemalige Bundesrichter Thomas Fischer in einer Sonderfolge von „Sprechen wir über Mord?!“ mit den Söhnen Hanns-Eberhard Schleyer und Clais von Mirbach sowie mit Generalbundesanwalt Jens Rommel und SWR-Autor Thomas Schneider. Diese Sonderfolge ergänzt die ARD-Dokumentation „Im Schatten der Mörder“ von Holger Schmidt und Thomas Schneider und erscheint gemeinsam mit dem Dokudrama „Stammheim – Zeit des Terrors“ von Niki Stein und Stefan Aust im Rahmen eines ARD Programmschwerpunkts zum 50. Jahrestag des Beginns der Stammheimer Prozesse. "Im Schatten der Mörder" in der ARD Mediathek: https://1.ard.de/im_schatten_der_moerder "Stammheim – Zeit des Terrors" in der ARD Mediathek: https://1.ard.de/stammheim_zeit_des_terrors Die Podcast-Folge wurde am 30.4.2025 live vor Publikum im SWR-Fernsehstudio in Baden-Baden aufgezeichnet. In "Sprechen wir über Mord?!" haben Thomas Fischer und Holger Schmidt bereits 2023 in einer Folge über die RAF und den Deutschen Herbst gesprochen: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/sprechen-wir-ueber-mord/morden-im-kollektiv-true-crime-die-raf-und-der-deutsche-herbst/swr-kultur/12839729/
Vor 50 Jahren begann der Porzess gegen die RAF Terroristen Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, Ulrike Meinhof und Jan Carl Raspe. Um sie freizupressen kam es während ihrer Gefangenschaft zu weiteren terroristischen Anschlägen. Am Ende begingen die Gefangenen unter mysteriösen Umständen kollektiven Selbstmord. Niki Steins konzentriertes Dokudrama unterscheidet sich von den bisherigen Verfilmungen durch seinen kammerspielartigen Charakter und die starke Besetzung mit Lilith Stangenberg als Gudrun Ensslin.

In der JVA Stammheim wurde in den 1970er-Jahren mehreren Mitgliedern der Terrorgruppe RAF der Prozess gemacht. Zeitweise lebten bis zu neun von ihnen im Hochsicherheitstrakt der Anstalt. Das neue ARD-Doku-Drama „Stammheim – Zeit des Terrors“ wirft einen neuen Blick auf die Ereignisse von damals.
Wir haben KZ-Gedenkstätten und Stolpersteine, die an das Nazi-Regime erinnern. Aber es gibt auch viele Orte des Terrors, die nach 1945 vergessen wurden - also „Gras über die Geschichte" wuchs. Das trifft auf viele der über 100 so genannten „Arbeitserziehungslager“ zu, in die Ausländer wie Deutsche willkürlich eingesperrt wurden, wenn die Geheime Staatspolizei oder die SS es so wollten. In Niederbühl, einem Stadtteil von Rastatt in Mittelbaden, versuchen Einheimische jetzt, eine lokale Initiative anzustoßen, damit ein Gedenkort für ein solches Lager errichtet wird, von dem es nur wenige Zeugnisse und praktisch keine Überreste gibt.

The ocean has always captured mankind's imagination. But where some saw endless potential for travel, trade, and exploration, others could only imagine what untold terrors might be lurking in its depths. Ask any sailor, modern or ancient, and they'll tell you that the sea is not only a natural force but a supernatural one. As more people begin to confront the thousands of firsthand accounts of mysterious terror of the deep, it becomes clear that there are things above and below the waves that may never be explained.

Think you've heard all the creepiest legends? Think again! From vengeful spirits to terrifying creatures, these eerie and often overlooked tales might just make you question going anywhere after dark.IN THIS EPISODE: Spine-tingling ghost stories and eerie myths... come to life! Are any of them actually true? We'll explore the more obscure side of folklore with ghosts and legends that don't get the same amount of attention others do – but are certainly not to be ignored! (Myths And Ghosts You May Never Have Heard Of) *** In the quiet town of Essex, Maryland, the disappearance of nine-year-old Alva Jean Parris shattered the peace of summer 1960. Walking just three blocks to her aunt's house, she vanished without a trace, only for her body to be found days later, hidden beneath a makeshift grave. Decades have passed, but the mystery of who took Alva Jean and why remains unsolved. (Who Killed Alva Jean?) *** He's a little-known serial killer. Ronald J. Dominique, dubbed the Bayou Strangler, went on a decade-long murder spree in rural Louisiana, killing 23 men.
