In the organizer's words:
Podcat + Poodle Festival Pre-Show
In 2026, Germany's most popular interview podcast celebrates its tenth anniversary. The first episode of Hotel Matze was released in fall 2016. After a decade, Matze Hielscher can look back on an impressive array of guests - from journalism, science, politics, philosophy, sport, art and music, he has already conducted well over 500 interviews. Hotel Matze always offers a wealth of well-known personalities such as Nina Chuba, Jürgen Klopp and Angela Merkel. It is a podcast that lives not only from the people in front of the microphones, but also from those who listen.
This year and next, Matze will be surprising his listeners with eight dates in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and celebrating his tenth birthday with them. The personalities that the audience can look forward to at the upcoming live shows remain a surprise at times; in Dresden, he will have bestselling author Juli Zeh as a guest.
The idea is to experience what usually happens in the studio together in one room: Conversations that have time. Encounters that develop. And a moment in which listening becomes something shared. Matze Hielscher creates a warm atmosphere at eye level and the audience experiences it up close.
Guest: Juli Zeh
Juli Zeh, born in Bonn in 1974, studied law in Passau and Leipzig, gained a doctorate in European and international law and spent time in New York and Krakow. Her debut novel "Adler und Engel" (2001; tr: Eagles and Angels) became a global success and her novels have since been translated into 35 languages. Juli Zeh has received numerous awards for her work, including the Thomas Mann Prize (2013) and the Heinrich Böll Prize (2019). In 2018, she received the Federal Cross of Merit and was elected a judge at the Constitutional Court of the State of Brandenburg. Her novel "Über Menschen" was the best-selling fiction hardcover of 2021. Most recently, the bestseller "Zwischen Welten", co-written with Simon Urban, was published by Luchterhand, and her new novel "Pony Show" will be published on October 14, 2026.
