On August 31, 2011, ZDFneo broadcast a pilot episode of Bambule as part of the TVLab campaign . This project was a pilot program that viewers voted on online. Bambule came third among the ten participants. In October 2011, ZDF confirmed that Bambule will continue with a full season of 15 episodes. It is Kuttner's first long-term television project since her shows on VIVA and MTV .

According to the broadcaster, the program is intended to present and reflect the situation and emotions of 30 to 40 year olds. ZDFneo also describes the program as a “reporter magazine, personality show and attack on ubiquitous indifference”. Social, political and cultural topics should be dealt with. Sarah Kuttner moderates the program mostly in public places such as pedestrian zones, parks or downtown Berlin; there is no studio. The format combines interviews with investigative journalism and "plays on the border between fun and seriousness". Kuttner is supported in the program by Johanna Maria Knothe, who is mostly in the political field and asks politicians questions and their opinions.

Each issue deals with a set of topics on which different views are treated.

The premiere broadcast on March 1, 2012 reached 60,000 viewers. This corresponds to 0.2% market share and 0.4 market share between 14 and 49 years of age. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung rated their program benevolently.
