Herzlich Willkommen auf unserer Entdeckungstour bei Wissen unterm Kissen, dem Podcast, bei dem Sie entspannter und schlauer einschlafen. Wir reisen an Orte, die für Menschen nur schwer zugänglich sind oder ganz im Verborgenen bleiben: tiefe Wasser, hohe Lüfte, Welt- und Nano-Räume. Wir tauchen in die Tiefsee zu Unterwasservulkanen, wir fliegen mit einer Biene über eine Sommerwiese bis hin zu ihrem Bienenstock und wir reisen ins All auf die Mondberge. Es sind aufregende Orte, an die wir reisen. Dabei bleibt genug Zeit, Neues kennenzulernen – aber auch Pausen zu machen.
