"Maischberger": Where the Ruckus Begins

"Maischberger" serves up a hot dish of current and contentious political and societal discussions every week, gracing our screens Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and sometimes Mondays, on Das Erste. This live-action melee takes place in the Berlin-Adlershof television studio and the WDR studios in Cologne. Since its debut on September 2, 2003, the renowned Munich journalist, Sandra Maischberger (born 1966), has been holding court. "Maischberger" dives deep into the nuts and bolts of hot-button issues, entertaining a smorgasbord of politicians, experts, media personalities, artists, and other opinion leaders.

In "Maischberger", the big guns gather to share their insights and go toe-to-toe in an engrossing debate round. The range of topics is mighty fine and offers a panoramic snapshot of the social, political, and economic challenges that Germany and the world are facing.

Each episode is available for your perusal in the public broadcasters' media library post-airtime.

Don't forget to tune in and catch the drama unfold on "Maischberger" this Wednesday night!

I'm not going to be a big fan of the possible discussion about the "S" word during the political and general-news debate on the ARD talk show "Maischberger", given the controversial nature of the subject. Despite political differences, the upcoming episode features German-American manager and former CEO of AGCO, Martin Richenhagen, who will be discussing the heat from radical US trade policy and the protests against Trump.
