Suppose there is no more advertising. Are there more trees in the city instead of billboards? Then how do we know what to buy? A thought experiment.

No more advertising posters at bus stops and airports, no more neon signs or giant banners on house entrances. What if there were no more advertising in public spaces in Germany?

What impact would that have on the economy and our everyday life? Would we then shop differently and spend less money? What could you do with the space you have gained instead of advertising posters? And what will become of the around 90,000 jobs in this economic sector – from sticking posters to brand design to cultural and creative industries?

The two correspondents answer these questions Vera Wolf Fight and Markus Sambale from the ARD capital studio in Berlin and search for the future podcast of daily News together with experts for answers.

Thought experiments in the Tagesschau podcast

“sometimes accepted” is the award-winning * future podcast of the daily News. Every week a six-person team of correspondents thinks from the ARD capital studio in Berlin a current political idea into the future and plays through the possible consequences in a thought experiment: Let’s assume that Germany would no longer export weapons – what would the political consequences be? Or suppose that cash would be abolished – what effects would that have on our everyday lives and the economy?

Numerous experts help to find answers to these questions, positive examples from other countries show what is already possible elsewhere today and thus provide new impulses in political debates.

You can listen to the audio podcast “once accepted” at home or on the go on your smartphone. Every Thursday a new episode appears here on our website in the Tagesschau app, in the ARD audio library and on numerous other podcast platforms.
