About WONDERMOM

WONDERMOM is an interview show shaped by Natascha Ochsenknecht’s gift for direct, lived-in conversation. It does not behave like a neat profile series. Guests arrive with public lives, creative work, personal histories, and strange practical stories, but the show quickly pulls them toward ordinary human territory. That is where it works. Jochen Schropp talks around dating, acting, spirituality, illness, and the need for trust. Hardy and Alice Krüger move from bridges and old television habits into creativity, writing, renovation, family, and the wish to relive a more generous film era. Funny and Tannis Husten bring self-employment, grandchildren, partnership, happiness, and the fear of loneliness into the room. Ariana Baborie turns embarrassment, fertility treatment, clinic rooms, respect from doctors, and parenthood into a conversation that is both ridiculous and intimate. Pierre Sanoussi-Bliss speaks about aging, racism, fairy tales, language, changed stories, serenity, and enjoying the moment without making himself into a symbol. Michael Tsokos brings darker material about drugs, death, crime, and violent detail, while Natascha keeps connecting it back to family fear and real life. Ilka Bessin’s episode circles death, comedy, limits, old personas, and what can still be said without turning cruelty into a punchline. The format is loose and sometimes messy. That is part of the texture. A joke can lead to grief; a practical question can lead to a confession; a work story can collapse into beds, bodies, children, money, fear, or what happens when nobody visits. Natascha pushes, teases, agrees, interrupts, and asks again. The result is not therapy and not celebrity polish. It is talk with elbows on the table, full of warmth, bluntness, curiosity, and the kind of sudden seriousness that arrives because someone finally asked the next question.

Made for: For listeners who like public conversations when they are relaxed, personal, and a little unruly. It suits people drawn to family stories, aging, showbiz memories, comedy, health, relationships, and honest talk about fear.

What sets it apart: WONDERMOM stands out by letting public lives become ordinary again. Its strength is the quick turn from banter to substance without losing the loose, familiar feel of a private conversation.

In their own words

Wer Nataschas Telefonnummer gespeichert hat oder ihr auf Social Media folgt, weiß: Bei ihr kann man sich melden, wenn’s Trouble gibt oder man einfach nicht mehr weiterweiß. Zuhören und die richtigen Fragen stellen - das ist ihre Superpower. Sie ist eine echte WONDERMOM. Als Mutter, Tochter, Oma, Ehefrau, Freundin und Künstlerin kann sie aus einem enormen Erfahrungsschatz schöpfen. Und von dem teilt sie mit vollen Löffeln aus: es gibt witzige Anekdoten aus über 40 Jahren Showbiz, Ratschläge mit Herz und Hand - aber vor allem: ehrliche Gespräche von Mensch zu Mensch. Jeden Donnerstag, überall wo´s Podcast...
