Two found each other: Philipp Köster, editor-in-chief of “11 Freunde”, and Arnd Zeigler, “grand champion of football culture”, start a podcast. About football, of course, but also about much more than goals and points.
One is the founder and editor-in-chief of “11 Freunde”, the magazine for football culture, as well as a book author, star-Voice and welcome football expert in the television studios of the republic. The other moderates “The Wonderful World of Football” on WDR television, is a stadium announcer at Werder Bremen, also writes books, makes radio and music.
And both have been friends for more than two decades. It is therefore logical that Philipp Köster and Arnd Zeigler are now starting their own podcast, which – how could it be otherwise – revolves around football.

The two organizers want to get in the mood for the football weekend “fast-paced and with strong opinions” every Thursday, “with steep theses and new information from the Bundesliga”. But as is well known, it’s not just important on the pitch, but also what’s around and what’s out of the way, especially for Köster and Zeigler.
That’s why “Zeigler & Köster – the football podcast” will always provide insights into the everyday work of the two hosts, nostalgic looks back into football history, nerdy knowledge to brag about, but also curiosities from the “big, colorful world of football”, as Köster promises – football culture to listen to.

In the premiere episode “Anpfiff für zweiFreunde”, the two look at the sporting crisis including the dismissal of the coach at Schalke 04 and the incredible success story that Union Berlin is currently writing in the Bundesliga. There’s also a fashion review for FC Bayern’s special jersey to mark 50 years of the Olympic Stadium – which, according to Köster, isn’t the ugliest in Bundesliga history. And the two hosts reveal what you should do to survive an appearance in Sport1’s “double pass” as a guest.
The new “11 Freunde” football podcast “Zeigler & Köster” will be published every Thursday from October 20th at AudioNow, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music and everywhere there are podcasts. You can find out how to listen to and subscribe to podcasts here.
