Episodes:

Ep. 1: Morten Messerschmidt: From Bonbonland to Bordeaux (2025-03-14)

The chairman of the Danish People's Party sits down for a conversation about an unusual childhood and a different way of practicing politics. Along the way, Messerschmidt makes several political concessions, but he also believes that he is the target of a politically motivated attack.
Ep. 2: Troels Lund Poulsen: The chairman who dreamed of being free (2025-03-21)

Who is Denmark's Deputy Prime Minister really? Troels Lund Poulsen has stepped out of the shadows and now has to navigate the Defense into position in the midst of wartime, while also having to save Venstre from collapsing. Now he will also try to keep the Greenlanders in the Realm Community and issue a historically large bill. But who has to pay for it all?
Ep. 3: Magnus Heunicke: The minister for a dead sea (2025-03-28)

Even though he ends up in one scandal after another, the Social Democrat Magnus Heunicke is constantly a popular politician. How can one appoint oneself as the Minister of the Sea and still not get any mud on one's clothes? Kristoffer Eriksen investigates this over a dinner with the politician, who now also has to lead the country's equality efforts.
Ep. 4: Mona Juul: The advertising woman who refuses to sell herself (2025-04-04)

She has primarily become known for being so wealthy that she - in her own words - can withdraw from politics, but who is the newest party leader at Christiansborg and what does she actually stand for? Juul has been called more Radical than Conservative, so will she reject joining a new government across the center?
