Episodes
Kann Technik die Klimakrise aufhalten?
The climate crisis is here. But is there hope? Joko is on a mission! Perhaps there is technical innovation that can help us to stop climate change. Joko drives solar cars through the desert and sucks CO2 out of the air - only to discover that the solution is quite different from what he thought.
Kann nur die Wirtschaft das Klima retten?
Is it in the nature of large corporations to operate without any consideration for humanity and nature? Or is it possible to generate profits while also doing good? Joko's search for people who want to change their companies not only takes him back to his home village, it also has him overcome his fear of heights on the open sea. Could businesses ultimately save the climate?
Imagewandel durch Klimawandel?
We are all familiar with slogans such as "Climate protection starts with you." What few people know is that behind them are often actors who only want to protect themselves. Instead of real change, they give us green promises and a guilty conscience. In this episode, Joko tries to find out who they are. At first he despairs, until one thing gives him hope after all...
Die Krise auf dem Teller
Industrial agriculture, including factory farming, is ruining the soil - one of our most important CO2 reservoirs and the basis of our food. Will Joko have to switch to eating cabbage and turnips now? Joko searches for solutions – and he shares his experiences over dinner with four guests, each of whom brings a unique perspective on our food and the climate crisis to the table.
Vom Ende der Ausbeutung
The climate crisis is unfair. It affects most those who have contributed to it the least. On his journey through parts of Africa, Joko observes the consequences of climate change everywhere, looks at solutions that come from the Global South itself and almost becomes a Ugandan movie star in the process.
Systemwandel jetzt?
Joko is plagued by doubt: Is change even possible in our system of endless growth? System change instead of climate change? Joko is looking for alternatives. Green growth would be the solution that unites economic growth and climate protection, according to some. Others disagree. So what's the truth?

Vienna Blood
Max Liebermann is a brilliant young English student of famed psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. When Max comes into contact with Oskar Rheinhardt, a Detective Inspector struggling with a strange case, he agrees to help him investigate a series of unusual and disturbing murders. Max's extraordinary skills of perception and forensics, and his deep understanding of human behavior and deviance, lead them to solving some of Vienna's most mysterious and deadly cases.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
