Leipzig Podcast

Close your eyes and open your ears for the Leipzig Podcasts. Get ready to be taken on an acoustic journey and experience Leipzig in a different way for once. A city that lives on its constant self-renewal and change.  Young, dynamic and full of determination – without forgetting its roots.

The introduction offers a comprehensive podcast that provides a first impression of the city and who could do this better than Leipzig´s head mayor Burkhard Jung. The additional audio pieces revolve around culture (two parts), creative Leipzig, logistics, science and quality of life. In the six podcasts on different topics, we felt it was important to hear from people who are branch experts or industry insiders.

Beside Gewandhaus director Prof. Andreas Schulz, Thomaskantor Christoph Biller and Zoo Director Dr. Jörg Junhold, Leipzig's head mayor Burkhard Jung, Saxony's Economic Minister Sven Morlok, the State Minister of Saxony for Science and Art Prof. Sabine von Schorlemer as well as HHL Headmaster Andreas Pinkwart shared their voices. The Podcastscover Leipzig full circle, from the very basics up to insider information, so that both new discoverers  and knowledgeable Leipzig fanswill be entertained alike. Together with BEBE Medien GmbH LTM GmbH Leipzig created 7-10 minute podcasts.
