Barbastelle - The Bergson Culture Podcast is here!

What an exciting and very first recording it was in our atmospheric live club, the Barbastelle! Podcast host, program director and humor chief Maxi recently welcomed cultural grenade Katja Kraft to the Bergson, who is well informed about the Munich cultural scene thanks to her job as an editor at the Münchner Merkur.

The recording is in the can and yehaaw, the time has come: we're on air! In the first episode of BARBASTELLE - DER BERGSON KULTUR PODCAST, Maxi and Katja give you a review of the year and talk about everything that went down culturally in Munich in 2024. From Katja's hottest exhibition recommendations such as the ECCENTRIC, which can still be visited until April, to the really big numbers such as the crazy Adele World or the gigantic Coldplay concert to the interim quarters of the Villa Stuck, everything is included.

In our pilot episode, you can find out how we got from there to the so-called "ladies' fart" and chicken with apple sauce and iceberg lettuce, which pop star Katja is most looking forward to in 2025 and what the "Ode to a Shit Day" is all about.

Of course, we are already hard at work in the editorial workshop to create more cool episodes and we'll spoil you right away: in episode two, Sandro Cap, better known as Instagram icon "Der Münchner", will be visiting us, lovingly and hilariously poking fun at the people of Munich. In episode three, we can then look forward to the great Markus Stenger, the architect of the Bergson, who will take us back to the zero hour and provide exciting insights into the challenges of (re)construction

Every second Wednesday, we provide you with the most exciting and up-to-date view of the cultural scene in Munich and the surrounding area from our live club Barbastelle, which lends its name to the podcast - always fresh, always entertaining! We get to know amusing and inspiring guests from the worlds of art, music, journalism and entertainment. Bergson program director and host Maxi will take a look behind the scenes with you. Whether it's a music quiz, folk theater, poetry slam or promising newcomers - we're right in the middle of it all so that you don't miss anything and always know what's going on in your city. And yes, a little gossip is of course also part of it!
