Democracy weekend in Leipzig: Live podcast with Fitzek inspires!

On September 6, 2025, the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig will transform the evening into a lively podium for discussion and exchange. As part of the fourth democracy weekend, the event “All said?” where the two moderators Christoph Amend and Jochen Wegner will involve the audience in an exciting interview. This is another highlight for ZEIT's popular podcast series and underlines the importance of active citizenship in public conversations, as reported Time.

But that's just the beginning: The next live edition of “All Said?” will take place on September 30, 2025 in the impressive Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. None other than the well-known author Sebastian Fitzek will be on stage here. He is known for his gripping psychological thrillers and promises an exciting evening as part of the Harbor Front Literature Festival. The Elbphilharmonie is known not only for its exceptional architecture, but also for its accessible events that offer something for every audience.

Arrival and admission to the Elbphilharmonie

Anyone planning to attend the live event at the Elbphilharmonie should not forget to allow enough time for the journey. It is recommended to be at the Plaza at least 30 minutes before the event starts to ensure that you do not miss the entrance. Of course, late entry cannot be guaranteed for late visitors. Interesting details about how to get there can be found on the website Elbphilharmonie.

An important detail: The concert tickets for the Large and Small Halls make access to the Plaza more flexible from two hours before the start of the event. Special entry times make planning easy, especially when it comes to events with and without introductions. Here it is worth taking a look at the specific information noted in the program.

Podcasts on tour

The “All Said?” series is not the only project that ZEIT is bringing to the stage this year. The podcast formats are very popular and are touring through Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In addition to “Everything said?” The tour also includes the podcasts “Crime”, “The so-called present”, “Among pastors' daughters” and “Servus. Grüezi. Hallo.” Fans of these formats have the opportunity to find out about other live podcasts via the series' newsletter.

At a time when interaction with audiences is becoming increasingly important, live podcasts are becoming increasingly popular. These events offer listeners the opportunity to ask questions and actively participate in the discussion. A particularly notable example is the live recording of “The Politics Podcast”, which will take place in Augsburg on March 5, 2024, and which deals with the question of what has become of the welcoming culture. Typically, the audience is also included here, like Germany radio highlights.

Such events are not just for podcast lovers. They offer the opportunity to experience media culture up close and deal with current topics. So when the next live podcast is nearby, take your time and just stop by!
