Concept and moderation

In the program, interrupted by news and music, mostly celebrities from science, culture, politics, sport, but also other guests with interesting biographies are interviewed. Most of the discussions take place in the SWR broadcasting house and are broadcast live. The interviews are occasionally conducted in front of an invited audience in the restaurant of the Stuttgart TV tower . In rare cases, conversations with celebrities at their place of residence are recorded and broadcast at a later time.

By April 2009, almost 5,500 people were guests at Stefan Siller or Wolfgang Heim . Hans-Peter Archner , Matthias Holtmann , Michel Ries , Günter Schneidewind and Petra Zundel are also responsible for individual discussions . The Sunday program on SWR 1 Baden-Württemberg is called People of the Week and is presented by Stefan Siller or Wolfgang Heim. The people broadcast in SWR1 Rhineland-Palatinate is directed by changing moderators. By the 30th anniversary in January 2015, over 8,000 guests were interviewed.

Stefan Siller left his work at SWR at the end of 2015. In his last broadcast on December 23, he was interviewed by his colleague Wolfgang Heim. His successor in the team of people is Nicole Köster .
