Each week we tackle one of the seven deadly sins.

In the second episode, Drangsal reveals why he envied football players in his childhood even though he liked to be different, how he defends himself against the competition for followers and click numbers and when envy for his music colleagues is good for him.

Anger, envy, greed, lust, arrogance, indolence: with other prominent guests, including Sawsan Chebli, Stefanie Sargnagel and Dennis Gansel, we will look for the origin of these feelings and behaviors over the next few weeks - and try to find them to understand emotional states of emergency a little better.

Our therapeutic companion is the neuroscientist Dr.

Thorsten Kienast.

Together with our guests, we always think on Thursdays about how to make the most of our small sins and big flaws.
