ERKLÄR MIR POP & DIE GRÖSSTEN HITS UND IHRE GESCHICHTE

Experience "Erklär mir Pop" & "Die größten Hits und ihre Geschichte" live at the SWR Podcastfestival 2024.

Whether Beatles, Fugees or Rolling Stones, whether Tina Turner, Cindy Lauper or Rio Reiser - Udo Dahmen knows them all. He is the artistic director of the Popakademie Mannheim and tells the stories behind the great songs of pop history every Saturday in "Explain Pop".

Everyone is guaranteed to know these pop and rock classics, but often not the story behind them! In each episode of "The greatest hits and their history" you will learn everything there is to know about the respective song.
SWR3 music editors Matthias Kugler and Jörg Lange shed light on interesting backgrounds, special moments and curious facts about the stars' greatest hits.
