Children would love to be glued to their smartphones all day long. Who can blame them, as mum and dad often show them how. Thomas and I talk to Pro Juventute expert Daniel Betschart about media consumption among kids.

The son of my co-host Thomas Meyer would love to watch "Minecraft" videos on YouTube all day long. How does he gently teach him to put the iPad down? And how much time on the iPad is enough? After all, we're not the best role models either.

We discuss the most pressing questions on the topic of media consumption with expert Daniel Betschart from the Foundation Pro Juventute.

The Dadcast is aimed at anyone who is interested in the topic of fatherhood - regardless of whether they are fathers themselves or not.

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
