The production was at the top of the podcast charts for weeks: At the German Podcast Prize, »Cui Bono: WTF happened to Ken Jebsen?« was honored twice: as the best journalistic achievement and the best production.
The podcast also won a Grimme Online Award at the same time.
The »Drinnies« also received two awards: the production won in the categories best talk team and best independent podcast.
For »Cui Bono«, the research team delved into the world of conspiracy stories and the history of former radio host Jebsen.
In »Drinnies«, Giulia Becker and Chris Sommer talk about the lives of introverts.
From an attic in Cologne, they collect tips (»Drinsider«) or present the »Snack of the week« in one of the columns.
The brothers Bill and Tom Kaulitz (»Tokio Hotel«) were also successful at the podcast prize with »Kaulitz Hills – Mustard from Hollywood«.
However, they did not personally accept the award for best newcomer.
The twins talk about their lives on their podcast.
“Wild Wild Web – Season 1: The Kim Dotcom Story” won the Best Script category.
The podcast "11 Leben - Die Welt von Uli Hoeneß" was awarded for the best interview.
In addition to the jury prizes, audience prizes were also awarded in several categories.
The winners were "Wall Street with Markus Koch" (news & politics), "Hobbylos" (comedy), "Der Kids.Doc - More health for your child" (knowledge) and "Samira & Serkan in Paradise - Das Nachspiel" ( lifestyle).
The German Podcast Prize is supported by several players from the industry and was awarded for the third time.
Podcaster Micky Beisenherz moderated the evening together with Aminata Belli.
