Hear Hear! 2026: Göttingen celebrates its first Podcast Festival
On November 14, 2026, the Forum Knowledge in Göttingen, together with the neighboring Hotel FREIgeist, will transform into a meeting point for podcast fans, knowledge enthusiasts, and culture lovers. At the city's first Podcast Festival, live podcasts from science, history, and culture will meet conversations, workshops, performances, an interactive quiz, and a concert.
Live Podcasts between Knowledge, History, and Society
The festival brings well-known podcast formats directly to the stage. Among others, the science podcasts Synapses from NDR Info and Art Crimes from NDR Culture will be featured. The children's format Wonder Yourself Smart! from Universum Bremen, a conversation with historian and podcaster Leonie Schöler, as well as the in-house format Knowledge to Listen, are also part of the lineup.
Festival Atmosphere in Forum Knowledge
Multiple stages and event areas create a varied multi-day experience in just one intensive festival day. Between live recordings, audience questions, and moderated conversations, a direct podcast atmosphere arises, making audio content visible, audible, and collectively experienceable. The festival grounds extend across the Forum Knowledge and the directly adjacent Hotel FREIgeist.
Participate, try out, and discover new perspectives
The program not only focuses on listening. Drumming workshops with Ibs Sallah, silent podcasting in the Book Tower, a healing performance with Helen Yogo, and a scientific forum quiz invite active participation. The special exhibition Hear, Hear! Stories, Sounds, and Knowledge from Burkina Faso provides an important thematic framework, highlighting oral knowledge transfer, community perspectives, and sound as an exhibition experience.
Musical Conclusion with Ezé
To conclude, Ezé Wendtoin will provide a concert moment with drums, guitar, and vocals. The multi-instrumentalist and language acrobat combines musical diversity with clear political messages and marks a powerful final point to the festival day. The program is complemented by a networking area for podcasters that offers space for exchange, contacts, and new ideas.
Free Admission and Registration for Selected Offers
Admission to the podcast festival is free. For individual live podcast sessions, workshops, and the quiz, prior registration is required due to limited spaces. This way, Hear Hear! combines open festival culture with curated formats, personal encounters, and professional festival management.
Conclusion: Experience Podcast Culture Live in Göttingen
Hear Hear! transforms Forum Knowledge into a vibrant listening stage for science, history, music, and social exchange. Visitors can expect a versatile festival day with well-known hosts, interactive formats, sensory sound experiences, and concert atmosphere. Anyone who wants to not only hear podcasts but also experience their creation and impact live should not miss this free festival in Göttingen.
