    #09: Fame Fighting Chaos + Helene Fischer’s New Look and More
    21 Oct 2026
    This week, we dive into Fame Fighting, where German reality TV rivalries move into the boxing ring, before swapping punches for costumes and guessing games on The Masked Singer. Then it’s time for Schlager: we unpack Schlagerboom, chat about Helene Fischer and Florian Silbereisen, and discuss the robot assistant’s awkward exchange with Maite Kelly. Plus, Andrea Berg returns to number one, and we confess a little Schlager singing mix-up of our own. Away from Schlager, we explore Ski Aggu and Berlin hardtekk, compare Germany’s TikTok and Spotify charts, and share what we’re listening to—from Taylor Swift to audiobooks. German pop culture, gossip and plenty of questions, explained in English.
