The Lowdown on the ARD talk show "Maischberger"

Put on your thinking caps, because this show delves deep into the rough waters of current and controversial political and social debates. Hosted by the vivacious Sandra Maischberger and airing two to three times a week, usually on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and occasionally on Mondays, on Das Erste, the live format takes place in Berlin-Adlershof and the WDR studios in Cologne. Since its inception on September 2, 2003, the esteemed Munich journalist Sandra Maischberger (born 1966) has been at the helm, controlling the stormy seas and keeping the audience entertained.

Expect a cornucopia of opinions, as politicians, experts, media pros, artists, and other opinion leaders unite to discuss current affairs, ultimately engaging in heated debates. The show hosts a diverse range of topics, mirroring the complex and varied societal, political, and economic challenges facing Germany and the world today.

After the episode airs, you can catch the replay in the public broadcasters' media library.

I'm not going to be a big fan of the potential discussion about the "S" word (censored), as it might not align with my personal standards. Nevertheless, I'll be following the ARD talk show "Maischberger" on June 18th, which will delve into war-and-conflicts in Middle East and Ukraine, and touch upon policy-and-legislation and politics, as well as general news, including US trade policies and, interestingly, Trump-related protests.
