Bruno Jonas has been on stages for more than 40 years. Despite the routine, the details are important to him: Is the light right? How does the sound sound? It doesn’t work without careful preparation, as was clear before his appearance at the Night of Authors Southgerman newspaper organized every year for its readers. In mid-October, Bruno Jonas embarked on an experiment at the Munich Volkstheater: a live conversation for the “Munich Personal” podcast with Ulrike Heidenreich and René Hofmann.
A good 500 listeners were able to witness directly how the episode was created, which was about Jonas’s first stage play (which immediately got him in trouble with the public prosecutor’s office), his youth in his parents’ butcher shop in Passau, his numerous experiences in Munich and the change in the humor landscape. Jonas (born in 1952) promises that he will not hold back in the coming years either. He’s entering the home straight, “but it’s long” and in principle he agrees with Woody Allen, who once answered when asked what he thought of death: “I’m against it.”
For the Munich editorial team’s podcast, Ulrike Heidenreich and René Hofmann, the heads of the Munich, Region and Bavaria department, as well as people editor Sabine Buchwald and social editor Jana Jöbstl meet alternately with different guests. They pick you up at your place of residence or work and accompany you on your personal route. Sometimes by tram, subway, sometimes in a taxi or even on foot. Or they arrange to meet at special places in the city for a conversation.
It’s about current projects and very personal plans, about topics that move the city. The SZ podcast team invites people who have a connection to Munich. You live in the city or are visiting. They come from the areas of politics, gastronomy, culture, sport or media.
