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 offers for children.

"Dark Matters" sheds light on a world that is supposed to remain in the dark. Each episode is about a real case that opens the door to a secret service a little further. In season 1 it was the German secret services and in season 2 the secret services of other countries. In season 3, "Dark Matters" looks at agents and their work. It's about camouflage, betrayal and even murder. The ARD secret service experts provide everything you need to know in the background episodes.
