New Podcast RadiCast Exposes Extremist Violence in Baden-Württemberg
A new true-crime podcast called RadiCast launched on February 24, 2026, to examine extremist violence in Baden-Württemberg. The series focuses on real criminal cases involving Reichsbürger—self-proclaimed autonomists—who have escalated into serious offences like attempted murder and weapons stockpiling. Hosted by experts, the show aims to uncover how radicalisation leads to dangerous acts.
The debut season of RadiCast dives into shocking incidents, including attempts to kill police officers and cases of child endangerment. One episode highlights the largest seizure of military-grade weapons since the Red Army Faction (RAF) era. While the exact number of cases isn't specified, the podcast explores how individuals move from extremist beliefs to violent action.
The series is hosted by Dr. Daniel Köhler, a political scientist, and Conrad Klosinski, a police officer. Each episode features rotating guests, including law enforcement officials, researchers, and frontline practitioners. Their discussions aim to raise awareness about extremist networks and offer insights into deradicalisation. New episodes release every 10 to 12 days, with the first double episode already available on major podcast platforms. The show targets not just extremists themselves but also their families and professional circles, providing resources to recognise and counter radicalisation.
By analysing real cases, RadiCast seeks to expose the dangers of extremist ideologies and their violent outcomes. The podcast also points to support systems for those looking to leave such movements. Authorities and experts hope the series will help prevent further escalation in Baden-Württemberg.
