Curiosity piqued? Discover more about Susanne Daubner's eccentric habits!
Susanne Daubner, the beloved newsreader, has an unusual quirk before the "Tagesschau." In a candid conversation at the "NDR Talk Show," she admitted that a specific blue ballpoint pen is her go-to writing tool. "You might find this odd, but I've got to have a blue pen," Daubner shared, "If it's black, that's a bad omen for me." By stockpiling blue pens, she ensures she never faces a shortage in the office.
During the March 14th broadcast at 10:00 PM, the "Tagesschau" correspondent also delved into her deeper voice, attributing it to a sudden development at age 14, when she transitioned from a soprano to a contralto. "I didn't fully appreciate the uniqueness of this change back then," Daubner reflected.
