Lesch meets Schwartz

Episode 3: Humor makes us human

Humor is more than just a good joke. It connects people, defuses conflicts, and even improves health. What does humor do to us—physically, emotionally, socially? And where does it reach its limits? A program about resilience and solidarity, about laughter in ancient times and in the Bible—and about how humor works today and how shared laughter makes us more human. Harald Lesch and Thomas Schwartz discuss why laughter is indispensable.
