Darßer NaturfilmFestival 2025: Special: "Live Podcast"
In their award-winning podcast "tierisch!", they have been celebrating emperor penguins and okapi for over a hundred episodes, questioning the evolutionary concepts of gray-footed boobies and hammerheads and marveling at soil organisms and deep-sea creatures: Lydia Möcklinghoff and Dr. Frauke Fischer. Their podcast brings the wild animal world to your ears - with unbridled enthusiasm and bottomless scientific depth. They want to awaken enthusiasm and understanding for the wild side of our planet and show what it takes to protect the biodiversity and beauty of nature on our planet. You can see them live on stage at the Darß Nature Film Festival! In their live podcast, they go on an acoustic research expedition with their listeners and the audience, including to the animals of the Baltic Sea coast and the Bodden landscape. We are looking forward to a beastly evening!
