RUMS-Revue | Journalismus auf der Bühne #2

An evening about the city, the people and local journalism

RUMS brings journalism to the stage, with interviews, insights and readings - and without authorizations, editing or a correction button.

We talk to local meme page operator Tobias Oetzmann about the humor potential of Monaco di Vestfalia, better known as Münster. On his Instagram account "Münster Dings", he regularly provides half of Münster with the latest pop culture memes, tailored to the city. "Münster Dings" Tobi tells us the most inefficient way to park your bike in the city, what's going through the Ludgerikreisel rabbits ' minds, why white spots are piling up on the street and which different worlds collide in our city.

Emmy Teupe will also be a guest. The Münster native is 15 years old and has collected more than 40,000 euros for the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (Workers' Samaritan Association) ambulance in recent years. It all started with home-baked cookies and jam, later she auctioned off signed items from celebrities and bands for a good cause. She now organizes her own festival, is committed to helping other people and has been awarded the Silver Town Hall of the City of Münster for her efforts. We talk to Emmy about responsibility, commitment, growing up - and how to achieve things at the age of 15 that many adults fail to do.

We also welcome Nicholas Müller. As the lead singer of the band Jupiter Jones, he wrote "Still", one of the most successful German-language songs of the past decades. At the height of his success, he withdrew from the public eye due to a severe anxiety disorder. In his autobiographical bestseller "Ich bin mal eben wieder tot - Wie ich lernte, mit Angst zu leben", he describes how he dealt with panic attacks, depression and his return to the stage. We talk to him about success and crashes, mental health and why openness is sometimes the greatest form of courage.

This time, the editors will be supported by actor, author, director and, last but not least, RUMS columnist Christoph Tiemann, who will guide you through the evening.
