In the organizer's words:

The SWR Podcast Festival will once again transform Mannheim into a podcast hotspot in 2026. Over a total of three days - from April 10 to 12 - SWR will present live podcasts in three locations. From true crime and science to talk formats and comedy: podcasters from a wide range of genres will be on site. Young podcast fans will also be catered for: with "Tigerentenclub - Die Hör-Spiel-Show" and the "Lachlabor", there will be interactive activities for children.

What does it mean when I fall in love with someone else? Can an infidelity be a chance to start a new relationship or is a break-up the solution? What do I still want from life and how can I cope with the wrinkles that are becoming more and more visible?

Welcome to "40+ The Podcast Therapy". Presenter Florian Weber takes a seat on the sofa and you can listen as he searches for answers to the questions of an entire generation - the 40+ generation. Together with Christian Peter Dogs - a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy - he discusses all the relevant topics that concern him in his phase of life.

It's about love, relationships and relationship crises. About happiness in life, relationships with parents and friends, growing older, dealing with grief and, of course, many insights that can really make a difference to all of us.
And you don't have to do anything except sit on our therapy sofa.

Please note: "40+ The Podcast Therapy" is not a substitute for professional psychotherapy. You can't make a remote diagnosis in psychotherapy.

If you have the feeling that you need support or have the feeling that you are suffering from a mental illness or have suicidal thoughts circling in your head or your current life situation seems hopeless: don't hesitate, accept help. For yourself or your relatives. For example, contact the telephone counselling service, the German Depression Support Foundation or other help services - in an emergency, call 112. Finding a therapy place: The way to therapy is via your family doctor. You can also contact the patient service on 116 117 or the Federal Chamber of Psychotherapists.
