"One of Germany’s biggest and longest-running podcasts, Fest & Flauschig has been part of my weekly routine since it was still a radio show in 2011. Fourteen years later, I’m still listening – this show gave podcasting in Germany its breakthrough moment."

- Fabian Gieske, Schønlein Media

Fest & Flauschig is a charmingly chaotic German talk podcast where hosts Jan Böhmermann and Olli Schulz riff, ramble, and philosophize their way through the absurdities of life, pop culture, and politics with the ease of two friends who know exactly how to finish each other’s jokes. It’s equal parts satire and sincerity—one moment biting into current events with the sharpness of late-night comedy, the next spiraling into surreal tangents about childhood memories, awkward fame, or supermarket etiquette.

What makes the show so irresistible is its tone: loose, fast, and effortlessly intimate, like eavesdropping on the most entertaining part of the dinner party. Schulz and Böhmermann have that rare audio chemistry—improvised but never aimless, playful but not lightweight.

Fest & Flauschig isn’t about news or self-improvement. It’s about presence, performance, and the pure pleasure of listening to two smart oddballs laugh at—and with—the world. It’s audio mischief with a soul.
