Studio 9. Der Tag mit Eckart von Hirschhausen. Deutschlandfunk Kultur – live aus dem Humboldt Forum

In the organizer's words:

A pretzel, a word. Deutschlandfunk Kultur invites you to a live radio show from the Humboldt Forum in Berlin. Join us as we welcome a prominent guest from the worlds of culture, science, media or politics to the Mechanical Arena.

Have an engaging conversation together about the issues of our time. Chat, argue or think out loud together. Here you can experience radio up close, watch and join in the discussion. An engaging conversation about the issues of the day, broadcast throughout Germany, made in the new old center of Berlin, in the Humboldt Forum.

When it comes to health on television, he is often in front of the camera: Eckart von Hirschhausen, doctor, comedian and presenter.

He recently explored Alzheimer's disease in the film "Das große Vergessen" ("The Great Forgetting"), and his books "Die Leber wächst mit ihren Aufgaben" ("The liver grows with its tasks") and "Glück kommt selten allein" ("Happiness rarely comes alone") made him the most successful non-fiction author of 2008 and 2009. The volumes "Where does love go when it has passed through the stomach" and "Miracles work wonders" were also bestsellers.

Eckart von Hirschhausen is particularly committed to climate protection and sustainability. In this program, we ask him why he sees climate change as the greatest health threat of the 21st century and how the Russian Tsar came to bestow a noble title on his ancestors.
