Buffon’s nightmare meets Söder’s torment. Jonas Hector and Fabian Köster both live in Cologne. In their podcast, Schlag und fertig, they look for other things they have in common. Each week, Hector, the former national soccer player (43 matches for Germany), and Köster, the comedian (“Heute Show”), sit down for a chat. While Fabian Köster’s sharp wit is feared by the German political elite, Jonas Hector has happily reached the end of a chapter, having retired from his soccer career just in time for his 33rd birthday. As well as following his search for new challenges in life, this podcast itself is the first of them after 13 years of playing soccer at FC Cologne.
Listeners can look forward to exclusive insider info from the German parliament along with some classic soccer tales. A bit of politics, a bit of sport – and everything in between. Köster and Hector share their unique view of things with charm and wit.
