Dichtkunst mal…
Podcast in cooperation with Kulturring

We have been cooperating with the Kulturring in Berlin for many years. In spring 2022, a collaboration was launched with the annual poetry workshops of young and open poems.
In January 2022, four young poets agreed to each record a poem. The Kulturring published their poetry readings in May 2022 in its podcast section, complemented by an interview in the May/June 2022 issue of the magazine kultur.txt.
‘Dichtkunst mal…’ is not necessarily limited to four poets. Thus, instead of Dichtkunst mal Vier (‘Poetry Times Four’), it may also appear as Dichtkunst mal Fünf (‘Poetry Times Five’), Dichtkunst mal Drei (‘Poetry Times Three’), Dichtkunst im Doppel (‘Poetry in Pairs’), or Dichtkunst Solo. In this respect, the project remains open to variations and fresh impulses. The podcasts, supplemented by interviews in kultur.txt, are planned once or twice a year.
There are also poetry podcasts organized around specific themes. The first, titled Freedom, was released in November 2022. This was followed by Eco-Poetry (May 2023), Poetry Slam (November 2023), Poems in the Digital World (May 2024), Poetry and Music (November 2024), Berlin in Poetry (March 2025), and Poets’ Words on the Future (November 2025).”
