Episodes
1. Germans and their Water: It's complicated
September 2, 2022
Water – H2O, as we Quarks viewers call it. This super element is a true all-rounder, versatile, and something we take for granted in Germany. But: We have a water problem.
2. Animal Diseases, man-made
September 9, 2022
Animals – man's best friends. That is, when they're not spreading deadly diseases. It's incredibly annoying! Zoonoses are infectious diseases that are transmitted between animals and humans.
3. In-game purchases – Fake Currency, Real Overdraft
September 16, 2022
Microtransactions? Sounds kind of boring. Things get interesting when little Johannes can't leave his bedroom for nine weeks and suddenly €15,000 is debited from his dad's account via PayPal.
4. Satellites: Toys of Billionaires
September 23, 2022
Will Star Wars soon become a reality? And what do satellites have to do with it?
5. Bye Bundestag: Politicians looking for a Job
September 30, 2022
What do members of parliament actually do after their time in the Bundestag? Some have been hit hard. One wrong step, one careless moment, one casual signature, and they're in it: lobbying.
6. Cyberclown Security Risk
October 7, 2022
Who is responsible for cybersecurity in Germany? And what is the common thread doing here again? The trail leads... to the Kremlin!
7. How noble is Wine really?
October 14, 2022
Wine drinkers have style, solid wood bookshelves, and can explain complex issues like the Middle East conflict or the dangers of cancel culture in just a few words. But they can only do all of this with a liquid companion in hand.
8. There's a Party
October 21, 2022
How about a good mood for a change? And what helps better than music? Lots of music!
9. Pssst! The NSU Files
October 28, 2022
Dear Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Honestly, the 90s, 00s, and 10s weren't your era. Even today, things aren't always running smoothly, and you've shredded a few files on the NSU and right-wing extremism too many.
10. A Broadcast for Everyone?
November 4, 2022
Public broadcasting: Incorrect distribution of funds, poor working conditions and outdated structures in the committees.
11. Player Agent Business Model
November 11, 2022
Sometimes dad's tirades aren't enough to catapult little Lucas into the Bundesliga. That's when professionals step in: player agents, managers for football talents so young that they occasionally lose a baby tooth while heading the ball.
12. People, Learning, Dancing, Money
November 18, 2022
A school without pressure to perform and stuffy classrooms. In harmony with nature, perhaps even with a petting zoo – Waldorf schools. A concept with extraordinary approaches and a questionable inventor with a penchant for racial theory and esotericism.
13. The Lindner-Lehfeldt Complex
November 25, 2022
The greatest threat to Germany is, OF COURSE, left-wing extremism and its most cunning advocate: the FDP.
14. Transphobia is a Trend
December 2, 2022
There is agitation against trans people. Journalists, activists, academics, and even veteran feminists take to the streets to protest self-determination or write "opinion-driven" articles in "liberal" daily newspapers.
15. Welcome to the Welcome Authority
December 9, 2022
Besides a factual debate about THOSE UP THERE with the family and dried-out wreaths with real candles, what's a must at Christmas? An Advent calendar. That's why we want to open a very special Advent calendar with you.
