60 Minutes Humans in the Loop, Sealand, Werner Herzog, Under the Radar, The Album, Tasmanian Tiger Airs June 29 2025 on CBS
CBS will air an updated, two-hour postseason edition of 60 Minutes this Sunday, June 29, 2025, starting at 7:00 PM ET/PT. The night promises a diverse lineup of investigative reporting, human stories, and fascinating explorations from around the world.
The first hour begins with Humans in the Loop, as Lesley Stahl travels to Nairobi, Kenya, to uncover the hidden workforce behind artificial intelligence. Stahl speaks with workers tasked with teaching chatbots how to respond, revealing a world of low pay, grueling screen time, and emotional tolls that many of these digital laborers endure while helping American tech giants build smarter AI.
Next up is Sealand, where Jon Wertheim takes viewers to what’s been called the world’s smallest country: a rusted sea fort in the North Sea with a single resident. Wertheim dives into the colorful history of the Principality of Sealand, from pirate radio broadcasts to its status as a self-proclaimed micronation, giving a rare glimpse of a truly unique place and its stories of coups, feuds, and eccentric royalty.
The first hour closes with Werner Herzog, as Anderson Cooper sits down with the legendary German director known for films that blur the line between dreams and reality. Herzog discusses a lifetime of cinematic achievements, his views on human nature, and how he’s remained a powerful voice in filmmaking for more than six decades.
The second hour at 8:00 PM ET/PT continues with Under the Radar. Bill Whitaker investigates a series of mysterious drone incursions over Langley Air Force Base, home to some of America’s most advanced fighter jets. The segment uncovers growing concerns at the Pentagon about potential foreign surveillance over sensitive military sites, with stunning details on how these drones went undetected for critical moments.
In The Album, Anderson Cooper tells the haunting story of a photo album discovered at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2007. The album, filled with images of Nazi officials relaxing far from the horrors of Auschwitz, becomes the centerpiece of an Off-Broadway play that explores complicity and the banality of evil. Cooper speaks with historians and theater director Moises Kaufman about turning these photographs into a powerful work of art.
The evening concludes with Tasmanian Tiger, as Jon Wertheim heads into the Tasmanian wilderness in search of the fabled thylacine. Although declared extinct decades ago, some locals and scientists are convinced the creature still roams remote forests or could be brought back through science. Wertheim shares stories of sightings, modern efforts to confirm the animal’s existence, and the enduring fascination with Australia’s lost predator.
60 Minutes delivers another night of thought-provoking journalism and unforgettable stories, Sunday, June 29, on CBS.
