In 2008 HP wrote the radio drama 'Etwa 90 Grad', an adaption of his arctic novel 'Weiß', which was produced by Bavarian Radio B2 (director: Ulrich Lampen, music: Hp.Stonji). In this 60-minute-audiobook HP combined the fictional diary of his arctic traveller Sebastian Fehr with original journals of the arctic pioneers Frederick Cook and Robert Peary. It centers around the question if the northpole could ever definitely be discovered.
