Mini Mädel: The Tatort Phenomenon

Maedels with a Microphone Podcasts

Germany's favourite "whodunnit" TV show Tatort (crime scene) has had viewers hooked for over 30 years. Every Sunday evening at 8:15 pm, Germans and foreigners alike love nothing better than to gather in their local bar to watch various fictional dectectives solve fictional crimes in a different German, Swiss or Austrian city each week. The show can often be cheesy (that theme music!) but it's always entertaining. The Mädels head down to a local bar to find out what makes people want to watch this hugely popular TV show with a bunch of strangers and wonder whether it's a uniquely German phenomenon.
