Benjamin fumbles with his microphone after a long break, unsure if anyone can even hear him.

In this solo episode of rotz+wasser, host Benjamin opens with a humorous microphone check, expressing nervousness about recording alone after a long break. He shares updates on setting up a new home studio in his current residence, contrasting it with his previous life in Berlin. Benjamin recounts specific examples of the heightened friendliness in his new town, such as cyclists thanking him and postal workers helping carry heavy packages. He transitions to reading and responding to listener comments from a previous episode, where listeners discussed whether they are early risers or night owls and their preferences for city versus country living. Comments include personal stories from listeners like Barney Hund Fehmarn, Theodor Steffens, and Pinata, with Benjamin relating to their experiences. He shares his own sleep patterns, mentioning waking up around 4:30 AM and feeling tired by 7-8 PM. Benjamin reflects on the joy of reading physical books, arguing it offers a different, more reflective experience than audiobooks. He briefly mentions participating in mammoth marches and the emotional high of seeing dawn after a long night. The episode shifts as Benjamin introduces a listener question about media and children from an educational perspective. He starts to explain media pedagogy, defining it through four components: media criticism, media knowledge, media use, and media design. Benjamin gives an example of media use involving kindergarten children planning a cinema trip using a phone. He critiques approaches like Waldorf pedagogy that restrict electronics, advocating instead for teaching critical media engagement. Due to time constraints, he postpones a full discussion, ending the episode with thanks to listeners.
