Leipzig Lauscht 2026

In the organizer's words:

On May 30 & 31, 2026, the Leipzig Lauscht Festival will enter its second round. Two days full of exciting podcasts, know-how and exchange await you again in a new location. With the industry - for the industry.

A modern studio atmosphere and Mediterranean flair - our new location, the Media Garden at Mediacity, offers just that. Perfect for learning all about audio editing in a workshop or debating topics together at a panel.

On Saturday, you can look forward to highlights such as a keynote with Acast, the podcasts "Epochentrotter", "Schaun wir Mal" and "Wir reden die Welt" as well as a great after-show party.

On Sunday, there will be panels on education, AI and true crime journalism as well as the podcasts "Wild und fremd" and "Darfs ein bisserl Mord sein?". The day will be rounded off with the presentation of our Leipzig Lauscht Award for the best indie podcast in Germany!
