Der Pfefferkörner Podcast: Verbrechen auf der Spur Emilia Flint hat als Pfefferkorn Alice schon viele TV-Diebe gestellt und will jetzt wissen: Wie funktioniert Polizeiarbeit wirklich? Warum können Hunde Sprengstoff erschnüffeln, wie genau sichert man Spuren am Tatort und muss man beim SEK eigentlich super sportlich sein? Zusammen mit NDR Reporterin Jessica Schlage ermittelt Emilia wieder für euch – diesmal bei der echten Polizei. SUPER Bash Bros. Julien Melnick The gamers Podcast A Beautiful Mind Dr Selena Fisk What image comes to mind when you think about someone living with neuro distinction?
