On Sunday, June 29, 2025, “60 Minutes” promises an action-packed evening with a collection of thought-provoking stories, bringing a mix of investigative reporting, unique tales, and global explorations. Viewers can catch the show in two action-packed segments, airing from 7:00-9:00 PM ET/PT on CBS.
Humans in the Loop
As artificial intelligence continues to grow and evolve, the role of human workers in AI development becomes more significant. This week’s “Humans in the Loop” segment takes viewers to Nairobi, Kenya, where correspondent Lesley Stahl reports on the burgeoning market of digital workers who help train AI systems for major American tech companies. These workers spend countless hours interacting with and teaching chatbots, but their work comes at a cost. Stahl reveals the hardships faced by many, including poor working conditions, low wages, and the psychological toll of working in this high-pressure environment. This eye-opening story, produced by Shachar Bar-On and Jinsol Jung, sheds light on the often unseen labor that powers the digital age.
Sealand
In an equally captivating segment, correspondent Jon Wertheim embarks on a journey to the world’s smallest—and most unlikely—sovereign state: Sealand. Located just off the coast of England, Sealand is a tiny, self-declared nation built on a former World War II naval fort. Despite its small size, it boasts a colorful history, from its origins as a pirate radio station to its later incarnation as a micronation. Wertheim takes a boat tour of this rogue state, uncovering its fascinating story of piracy, coups, and a monarchy led by the Bates family. Produced by Michael Gavshon, this segment is sure to capture the imagination of viewers with its blend of history and intrigue.
Werner Herzog
In a much-anticipated interview, “60 Minutes” introduces the legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog. Though not as widely known as his Hollywood counterparts, Herzog’s work has left an indelible mark on the world of cinema. Correspondent Anderson Cooper sits down with the enigmatic director to explore his 60-year career, spanning over 70 films that delve into the human experience, nature’s power, and the darker sides of the human psyche. Herzog opens up about his journey, his creative process, and the often surreal quality of his work. Produced by Michael Gavshon, this segment promises to offer a rare glimpse into the mind of one of cinema’s most provocative figures.
Under the Radar
The second hour of “60 Minutes” delves into a national security story that raises alarms about drone activity over sensitive U.S. military sites. Correspondent Bill Whitaker investigates a disturbing incident in December 2023, when a mysterious drone flew over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, home to some of the U.S. military’s most advanced technology. The drones, suspected of espionage, were part of a troubling series of incursions into U.S. airspace, including overflight of military sites that house stealth fighter jets. Whitaker uncovers the investigation into these brazen acts of intrusion and examines their implications for national security. Produced by Graham Messick, this piece is sure to have viewers on the edge of their seats.
The Album
In a deeply poignant segment, Anderson Cooper explores a haunting discovery: a photo album filled with pictures of Nazi officers at leisure during World War II. This album, which was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2007, was initially a mystery. However, after a thorough investigation, it was revealed to be the personal scrapbook of a high-ranking Nazi officer who helped run Auschwitz, one of the most notorious concentration camps in history. Cooper walks viewers through the album’s chilling images and the subsequent investigation that unveiled the officer’s dark role in the Holocaust. The segment also covers the transformation of the album’s story into an Off-Broadway play, “Here There Are Blueberries,” directed by Moises Kaufman. Produced by Nichole Marks, this segment offers an emotional exploration of history’s darkest chapters.
Tasmanian Tiger
Finally, “60 Minutes” ventures to the remote island of Tasmania, where correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on the elusive and mysterious thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger. Once declared extinct in the 1980s, this apex predator is still the subject of numerous sightings and investigations. Wertheim meets with researchers and enthusiasts who remain convinced that the thylacine still roams the island’s dense bushlands. Whether in the field or the lab, these dedicated individuals continue their search for evidence of the animal’s survival. Produced by Jacqueline Williams, this segment is sure to captivate nature lovers and mystery enthusiasts alike.
With stories that span history, technology, and natural wonders, this week’s “60 Minutes” promises to deliver a fascinating and thought-provoking evening. Tune in for a front-row seat to some of the world’s most compelling and mysterious stories, airing at 7:00-9:00 PM ET/PT on CBS.
