Spotify Debuts Legends Club for Popular German-Language Podcasts With ‘Kaulitz Hills’
The new Spotify Legends Club has opened its doors. Its members: select German-speaking podcasts that have surpassed 100 million streams. This club is introducing a new live-event format where hit podcasts record a video episode in front of an audience of dedicated fans. The first show celebrating this achievement is Kaulitz Hills – Senf aus Hollywood.
The special episode of Kaulitz Hills was recently recorded at Berlin’s legendary restaurant Borchardt, a long-standing gathering place for celebrities, politicians, and socialites. The video episode will drop exclusively on Spotify on March 18.
The idea behind Spotify Legends Club is simple: spotlight shows from the German-speaking world that have left a lasting mark on the podcast landscape, and create opportunities to forge an even closer connection between creators and their most dedicated fans.
Kaulitz Hills was a fitting choice to inaugurate the Legends Club live series. Twin brothers Bill and Tom Kaulitz, who host the show, are Germans who live in Los Angeles. Each week in their music studio in the Hollywood Hills, they hit record, have a few drinks, and discuss their personal lives, pop culture, and current affairs.
“Kaulitz Hills has been an integral part of our lives for four years now,” said Bill. “Every Wednesday, we take our community along with us into our everyday life between Los Angeles and Berlin. Seeing what this podcast has grown into feels fantastic.”
Added Tom, “For us, the Spotify Legends Club is like the crowning moment of this journey: an evening with people who have been by our side for years, who laugh and celebrate with us, and to whom we were able to bring a piece of our world directly to Berlin.”
Kaulitz Hills has held sold-out arena shows and ranked third among the most-streamed podcasts in Germany in Spotify’s 2025 Wrapped.
In the months ahead, Spotify Legends Club will spotlight more podcasts from the German-speaking world that have surpassed 100 million streams, with additional live recordings planned in other cities.
“With the Spotify Legends Club, we want to celebrate trailblazing podcasts—and give their biggest fans moments where they can experience their favorite creators in a way that’s as personal and exclusive as only Spotify can offer,” said Saruul Krause-Jentsch, Head of Podcast Central Europe at Spotify.
