Remembering Jägermeister’s Günter Mast

The World

Jagermeister once was an obscure, medicinal-tasting liquor used by German hunters. Today, it's a global brand, especially beloved in some frat houses. The World's Alex Gallafent reports on the death of Gunter Mast, the man hailed as the marketing genius behind the globalization of Jagermeister. (Photo: Jelle Spanjaar) 

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
