SWR2 knowledge
SWR2 Wissen is a feature and documentation series in the radio program SWR2 and at the same time one of Germany's most successful podcasts.
Airtime and profile
SWR2 Knowledge runs daily at 8:30 a.m. The programs are usually available in the podcast from 4 p.m. the day before. On Sundays and public holidays, the “Aula” runs in SWR2 Wissen - a scientific or philosophical radio lecture or a half-hour expert talk. SWR2 Wissen also picks up on selected focal points from the SWR2 archive radio and produces its own talk programs.
In the period from May to July there is a focus on Saturdays under the title “SWR2 Knowledge Special” (formerly: SWR2 Radio Academy).
history
The program SWR2 Wissen has essentially three historical roots: the “Schulfunk”, the “Funkkolleg” and the “Aula”. While it used to be a stand-alone program, today all three components are integrated into the SWR2 Wissen podcast.
School radio
The daily feature series goes back to the earlier school radio of the joint program S2 Kultur of the former SWF and SDR broadcasters. After the two channels merged to form SWR, the series was renamed "SWR2 Wissen" in 1998.
Auditorium
For a long time, the Sunday “Aula” was an independent broadcast. It has existed under this name since September 1947. Its broadcasting slot on Sundays at 8:30 am has not changed since then. Numerous famous intellectuals of the early Federal Republic such as Ernst Bloch , Arno Gehlen , Theodor W. Adorno and Alexander Mitscherlich produced radio lectures for the program. In the late 1940s and then also 1950s Christian-religious themes with contributions that shed light on the moral, philosophical and historical foundations of the democratic order.
Funkkolleg and SWR2 Radio Academy
The priority series SWR2 Wissen Spezial - until 2017: "SWR2 Radio Akademie" - was created in 1995 as a replacement for the Funkkolleg , which was also co-designed by SWF and SDR and broadcast almost all over the ARD at the time , after both broadcasters had decided on the Funkkolleg - Leave the network.
SWR2 knowledge special
SWR2 Wissen Spezial is now an annual focus within SWR2 Wissen. It consists of ten (until 2016: twelve) half-hour documentaries by various authors as well as accompanying information on the Internet.
The series starts in early May and lasts until mid-July. During this time, the programs run on Saturdays on the "SWR2 Wissen" broadcasting route.
