Podcasts at TU Dresden
“Does assisted dying hurt?” “What do I do if my child is addicted to crystal meth?” “What does sex feel like when you’re old?” “As a pensioner living in the country, how do I ask my doctor about STIs?” These are all questions people think about, but to which there are rarely any answers. But why is this the case? The “You ask we explain” podcast has stepped in to change this: scientific debates and information, presented in an understandable way.
In this podcast, the team at the John Dewey Research Center for the Didactics of Democracy (JoDDiD) put on their political-didactical hats and question experts. They present studies and concepts as well as fascinating reports from the field and case studies. Above all, the podcast aims to explores findings, tasks and questions in the area of civic education for young people and adults in Saxony.
Are true love and true friendships actually the same phenomena?? Why is religion so often hostile towards sex, the body and women? Should we make a distinction between pederasty in the ancient world and pedophilia today? What distinguishes true love from desire? Is monogamy an illusion?
Markus Tiedemann, Professor of Practical Philosophy and Didactics of Philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy of TU Dresden, and journalist Katrin Tominski answer questions on emotions and intimacy in their podcast, “Love, sex and friendship – Questions and answers from philosophy”.
In our science podcast Food Facts, food chemist Prof. Thomas Henle from TU Dresden talks to presenter Peer Kittel and student Jule about current scientific issues relating to food and nutrition.

Kleine und große Geschichten aus dem Herzen der Medizin: Die Realität als Ärzt:in bringt oft mehr Fragen als Antworten mit sich, auch das Gesundheitssystem steht immer mehr unter Druck. Mit ihrem Podcast „AbendVisite“ wollen Chiara und Hannah jungen Kolleg:innen inspirierende Vorbilder an die Hand geben, die mit ihrer Erfahrung nicht nur motivieren, sondern auch auf die Fragen eingehen, die uns alle bewegen. Ihre Gespräche schaffen Raum für Austausch, Perspektiven und echte Antworten – und tragen hoffentlich dazu bei, ein gegenseitiges Verständnis zwischen den Generationen der Medizin zu schaffen.
The earth consists of 71% water, but only 3% of it is available to us as fresh water. The podcast from the Institute of Urban and Industrial Water Management explores the challenges with regard to this increasingly scarce resource.
Finally, clarity instead of data confusion! In the "Data in conversation" podcast (German: datenSPRECHstunde), Anne Röhle, a medical doctor, and Ingo Röder, a mathematician and Chair of Medical Informatics and Biometry, address questions relating to statistics and data. Both work at the Faculty of Medicine at TU Dresden. The aim of this podcast is to help students (of medicine, but also of other subjects) to consolidate and expand their knowledge. In addition, doctors and other scientists, should be supported in reactivating knowledge or learning new things. The podcast is of interest to anyone who would like to get a taste of data analytics.
To the podcast "Datensprechstunde"
The podcast is available on popular podcast platforms such as Spotify, Audible and Apple Podcasts.
The podcast "On.Line.Dates. Das GSW DigitalJournal" is all about the opportunities and challenges of digitalization in the university context: What is digitalization and (how) can I integrate digital media into teaching? What can artificial intelligence do in everyday teaching and what not? What needs to be considered when designing an online lecture? TUD members from different status groups discuss these and other questions and thus open up a variety of perspectives on the topic of digital teaching.
