Zeitzeichen (WDR)
In the programme ‘Zeitzeichen’ (‘time signal’) by the German public broadcasting company WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk) I have been interviewed for the broadcast on the attack on Lindisfarne (8. Juni 793 – Wikinger überfallen die englische Klosterinsel Lindisfarne). The 15 min. broadcast covers aspects of the whole Viking Age and takes the anniversary of the incident at Lindisfarne in 793 just as a starting point.
Terra X (ARTE/ZDF)
‘Terra X’ is a brand used by the German public TV broadcasting company ZDF for documentaries about history, nature, archeology, and science. For a mini series ‘Great Myths’ I was interviewed for the episode on ‘King Arthur’ directed by Saskia Weisheit. The script was written by Jan Karitzky. It was broadcasted in November 2021 on ARTE and in December 2021 on ZDF. You have still time until 2031 to watch it in the ‘ZDF Mediathek’, so there’s no excuse … (unless you don’t understand German, of course).

Kalenderblatt (Deutschlandfunk)
I have been interviewed for several broadcasts of the ‘Kalenderblatt’ (‘calendar sheet’), a programme that looks at important dates and events in history by the radio station Deutschlandfunk. All the broadcasts in which I collaborated were written by Winfried Dolderer.
