The whole life in 36 episodes – Carolin Kebekus and her brother David remember. “It gets very private there,” says the comedy queen.
Carolin Kebekus reviews her life in a joint podcast with her brother David. “It’s a super exciting journey, which is of course also very intimate,” said the comedian of the German Press Agency in Cologne.
“I usually never say anything about my private life, but that’s where it gets very private.” In the Audible Original podcast, which premieres July 14, the 41-year-old and her four-year-old brother describe growing up together. Each of the 36 episodes illuminates a year together.
“My brother had the idea,” said Kebekus. “It was a time when we heard more and more from others: ‘How crazy that you get along so well as siblings.’ That’s when we realized: Okay, apparently this is a special relationship. And then we both became comedians. You can ask yourself: How did it actually come about?»
The podcast begins in David’s year of birth, 1984. “Each episode has an overarching theme, something like relationships, puberty or school. It’s really a privilege to be able to talk about life all over again in this way. It’s also crazy how differently you remember things.”
She was touched by the effect her first boyfriend had on David. “At some point he gave him tutoring and said: ‘Look, it’s really cool when you know that.’ And that was the moment for David when he realized: ‘Oh, so the school doesn’t mean me any harm?'”
