Besides his numerous publications, he appears as a frequent guest on German TV talk shows. In 2010 and 2011 he produced and starred, alongside Egyptian-German writer and political scientist Hamed Abdel-Samad, in the satirical TV series "Entweder Broder - Die Deutschland-Safari" ("Either Broder - The Germany Safari"); the ten episodes to date were broadcast on "ARD - Das Erste" ("First German Television") and have been highly successful.

Broder is especially interested in Vergangenheitsbewältigung, Islam, Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He sees a close relationship between German criticism of Israel's policies and Antisemitism, a view criticized by, among others, the French-German columnist Alfred Grosser.
