Das Wissen is a daily documentary podcast produced by Südwestrundfunk (SWR), a major public broadcasting corporation based in Germany. The program offers in-depth analysis and reporting on a diverse spectrum of topics, including science, technology, history, health, ecology, and global social developments. Formerly known as SWR2 Wissen, the series rebranded to its current title while maintaining its focus on long-form journalism and rigorous research.

The podcast is designed to provide context beyond the headlines, with each episode typically running for twenty-five to thirty minutes. The format varies between solo-narrated features and interview-driven documentaries, often incorporating field recordings and expert testimony to illustrate complex concepts. Editorial topics are broad and multidisciplinary; listeners may find episodes dedicated to the nuances of international law, the biological mechanisms of disease, the history of political movements, or the environmental impact of modern agriculture. The tone is consistently objective and informative, prioritizing factual accuracy and balanced perspective over entertainment-driven narratives.

Produced seven days a week, Das Wissen is a significant component of SWR’s educational and cultural programming. Although the podcast is recorded and presented in the German language, its themes are international in scope. To support its educational objective, SWR frequently provides supplementary resources for individual episodes, including full scripts and bibliographic references for further study. This comprehensive approach caters to a demographic looking for detailed background information and academic-level insight into the forces shaping the contemporary world. The show functions as both a daily update for lifelong learners and a vast digital archive of general knowledge across various scientific and humanitarian disciplines.
