Remembering the Shoah with Susanne Siegert

More than 6 million people in Germany are over 80 years old – many of them are contemporary witnesses of the Nazi regime. But this generation is slowly dying out. What does this mean for our culture of remembrance? How do we remember the Shoah when no one is left to tell the story? And how can remembrance look on social media today? In this episode, Jonas Ross talks to Susanne Siegert, known as Susi.

Money for everyone with Miriam Witz

Learning from internet hypes with Magdalena Pulz & Dennis Kogel

Magdalena Pulz and Dennis Kogel are very familiar with internet phenomena. In their podcast ‘Browser History’, they have devoted each episode to a meme or hype from social networks. In this episode of re:publicast, the two journalists take us on a journey through nostalgic stories from the internet. They get to the bottom of the question of what the first meme actually was and how this now everyday word could be defined.

We've had so much fun this year! Check out our recap video.
