Jan 31, 20235m
Reality check for Jan Böhmermann! After a thrilling tour with the Ehrenfeld Radio Dance Orchestra through the German-speaking region (DACH) region, life is back to normal at Studio Ehrenfeld. Instead of standing ovations, there are queues at the coffee machine, and canapés backstage have once again become leftover pretzel sticks in the cracks in the sofa. The machines are running because Lionel Rauxel, the mastermind behind the "Böhmermann" brand, is breathing down the neck of the entire team. So now a quick wipe down and a quick send-off for the writers to the hairdresser, and then we can get started.

Feb 8, 20236m
Caution is the mother of all virtues, even if the pandemic is fading like an 80s pop song. So, I quickly push the test stick up to just before the brain mass and then wait another fifteen minutes.

Anyone who gets it wrong more than three times has to ride through Ehrenfeld on a blind donkey.

Predator attack during a staff meeting? What's going on at ZDF? Jan is particularly in a tizzy today, and even a stress ball and lukewarm fennel tea aren't helping.

Eggs of Steel KIDS - Hero or Deadbeat Dad — The Dangerous Secret of Fireman Sam
Oct 18, 20238m
He's the hero in red. Children love him, parents wink when they hear the theme song: It's about Fireman Sam. The wrinkle-free fire extinguisher with the strong chin is a true hero. At least, if you can believe the narrative in the series named after him.
Episode 118
Staff Interview 23: Sketch Comedy Replaces ZDF Magazin Royale
Oct 25, 20237m
Predator attack during a staff meeting? What's going on at ZDF? Jan is particularly in a tizzy today, and even a stress ball and lukewarm fennel tea aren't helping. Mr. Böhmermann gasps when he imagines Barbara Schöneberger with a mustache, and the suggestion of being part of an episode of "Verstehen Sie Spaß" (The German version of "Verstehen Sie Spaß") is the last straw for him.
Episode 119
Christophorus Töppel in the 2LIVE hail of questions

We need to talk about Croquettes!
Nov 14, 20236m
At regular intervals, Jan sits down in the living room of his private guest bungalow and devotes himself to the feedback of the people for whom he appears in front of the camera every week: No, not the ZDF management, but the audience.
Episode 121
I'll take over the bang 🤫💥😏
Nov 23, 20239m
Hey, I have to start with a small apology. Sorry I was offline for a while this time, but my new gaming PC is finally up and running! I talked a bit about Thomas Gottschalk and his "Wetten Dass" (Wetten That's Coming) show – it's going to be very dangerous again. I binge-watched the hundredth episode – how many times does he want to go? He's a terrible flirt.
Episode 122
What's the State of Press Freedom? Interview with Günter Wallraff
Nov 24, 202317m
When he heard that a rat had been seen in our canteen, Günter Wallraff immediately hopped on his bike and rode to the Ehrenfeld studio. Then, for the first time in many years, it was time for Jan to listen. As a longtime journalist, Wallraff has experienced numerous threats and lawsuits. The 81-year-old has won numerous awards for his investigative reporting and social commitment. A life dedicated to press freedom. In an interview with Jan, he spoke about his disputes with the Bild newspaper, the challenges of his career as an investigative journalist, and the most spectacular investigations of his career.

Episode 125
Staff Interview 25: THIS is how you cut Baumkuchen correctly!
Dec 19, 20238m
Maybe it's the pre-Christmas spirit, or maybe it's the male sickness cover from ZDF – because: a staff meeting has never been so harmonious! Men can just chill out a bit and chat about work, Jan's Harley, and Marvel in a less stiff way than usual!
Episode 126
Delicious, yummy 😋🔥 Cooking with M & M 🎄🍗
Dec 23, 202310m

Episode 127
Eggs of Steel KIDS - Dark Clouds over Smurf Village: The Unmasking of Papa Smurf

Episode 130
Feedbackbox Team Edition: No Pigs for ZDF Magazin Royale
Feb 8, 20247m
How are you? Did you sleep well? How's the art coming? These are the questions Jan likes to bombard his employees with over the coffee machine.

Episode 131

Episode 132
Staff Interview 27: ZDF Surveillance State?!
Apr 17, 20247m
Spring is knocking on the door, and Jan's nose is tingling more than Olaf Scholz's. Cheers, Mr. Chancellor! Despite the fresh spring fever, Jan has to face another staff meeting. A bit of acrobatics here, a few surveillance measures there; Ms. Thing and Jan won't be #besties in this interview either.
Episode 133

Apr 24, 20248m
Basketball, online banking, green Balisto – how well does Jan really know his employees?

Episode 134
Plain text SETTLEMENT with the ESC (preliminary decision)
May 9, 20249m
I watched this wild Eurovision Song Contest pre-selection like a hobby-less person. Böhmiarmy knows it's mostly delicious, sleazy black metal, but I watched the NPC contest anyway. Things are a bit quieter on Twitch and my Instagram right now; they're working on a big launch.
Episode 135
Eggs of Steel KIDS: Pure conspiracy theorists
Jun 19, 20247m

Episode 136
Balls of Steel KIDS: Superhero, friend or toxic boss?
Sep 10, 20246m
Moving, watering plants, making tea. Sure, it's a bit annoying, but at the end of the day, we all like to help our friends! But what happens if, because of a friend, you suddenly find yourself running away from sharks, fighting monkeys, or spending 24/7 isolated in your room?

Gaming-Communities: The last apolitical Place on Earth

Episode 139
Staff Interview 29: This is what Dubai chocolate really tastes like
Dec 10, 20249m
Duty is duty, and schnapps is schnapps. But the mulled wine offered by ZDF HR manager Ms. Dings is declined by consummate professional Jan Böhmermann. Even though the mood at the last personnel meeting of the year has a Christmassy feel, the most important thing to discuss is the serious cases from the last season of ZDF Magazin Royale.
Episode 140
Eggs of Steel KIDS: Drug trivialization in paper cut series
Dec 23, 20247m
We're taking a little trip back in time with "Eggs of Steel KIDS." Back to a TV era when children's shows were still created with silhouette animation. Well, which millennials will resonate with that?

Staff Interview 30: Jan sets fire to the personnel office
Feb 19, 20256m
New year, new problems. Mr. Müller is stepping in for Mrs. Things, who has sprained her ankle, and after months on tour with the RTO, Jan isn't exactly in top form for the executive suite.

Episode 143

May 13, 20257m
In Ms. Dings's brand-new office, Jan has to put up with a few questions about his e-scooter tour. ZDF receives fines every day because Jan considers the German Road Traffic Act (StVO) to be "well-intentioned advice."
