Since the beginning of 2024, Jennifer has been moderating and Markus Kavka moderates the podcast “Fuck You very, very Much”. You analyze a legendary dispute in the music business per episode. Reason enough to really ask the two.
ME: What is the top rule for a music podcast?
Jennifer shows: I would say it is important that you don’t pay attention to anything at first. The decisive factor is that you feel comfortable with what you do. That you don’t have to reveal anything that you don’t want to only discuss topics that interest you.
Markus Kavka: For me it was important that the whole thing in the end also has a certain added value. It arises, at least I hope, with us anyway through the constellation of both of us: On the one hand, woman, musician, young, on the other hand, music journalist, type, old. For this reason alone, we have different perspectives.
The crux of most music podcasts is that you are not allowed to play music for legal reasons. How do you avoid “fuck you very, very much”?
Markus: This is an ARD podcast that will be broadcast completely in the MDR at night. Because the publications have such an all -encompassing deal with the GEMA, we can use music there. But not just as we are funny, that is still limited in time. But that was important to me that we don’t just talk about music and don’t listen to music. With these regulations, however, you also encounter contradictions. In the recommended podcast “Poparazzi” by Arnim Teutoburg-Weiß, where Arnim discusses a song with the people who wrote the songs, he also uses music; I think because he also has a deal with the Gema. Something like that is quite expensive and you have to see if the podcast recovered it again.
In your podcast you analyze legendary beefs of the music world. Is the impression or is the culture of dispute less pronounced in this country than in the UK or the USA?
Markus: We have not even found that it is so country -dependent. I would rather say that today we live in a time when the Beefs have shifted. In the past, the media played a lot more, today this usually takes place on social media; These are dynamics that are controlled by fans.
Jennifer: From my experience of ten years of Jennifer Rostock, I can say that, regardless of the festival we played at the time, we were all always very benevolent. All bands looked at each other’s concerts, you drink something together, Labert, that was nice. We have often got Diss Tracks, but only on the part of the hip -hop. But we came out of skirt, you don’t do that. If we dissolve, then we shot up. We do not shout aside and we don’t dissuade either. We were always about stepping up.
For example against the really big enemy, the AfD? With that you created yourself in 2016.
Jennifer: For example, yes. Of course there are other enemies. But you didn’t search for them in your own ranks. I don’t even know why. The one who said something against us from the rock camp has also flown to the face. That was urge. He really wanted to insult others. But otherwise, I would say, we were all very nice together.
Have you deliberately avoided some Beefs?
Jennifer: We discussed a lot about hip-hop cases in Germany. Where do you might go into a scene where you might not want to open a barrel again because the case is already so old because there may be something to clarify and so on.
And because you want to avoid that there is suddenly a thug squad in front of your own door?
Jennifer: You name it. You don’t know. We have always talked through all of this very carefully. Ultimately, everyone, in our case, must also find a good production company and ARD culture.
How do you explain the exuberant success of podcasts?
Jennifer: I think podcasts are great that I can do something on the side, clean or something. When I am in sports, I don’t listen to music, I hear Podcast.
Jennifer is still cleaning himself!
Jennifer: Exactly. I have a cleaning power, but I also clean myself. In any case, I don’t like to look into a screen all the time. You don’t have to get everything with a podcast now. This is not such a medium where everything is in demand: listening, watching. Instead, you can also do something on the side.
Markus: I hear podcasts almost exclusively in sports. I do an hour of sports at home, home trainer and a bit on the devices every day … this is actually a superödes program. Maybe I wouldn’t do that at all, there would be no podcasts. This then distracts me in such a way that this hour passes with these blunt, sporting activities as if in a flash.
Podcasts may also be a kind of complementary phenomenon to the comeback of the vinyl LP: conscious examination of a thing instead of algorithm controlled permanent ran.
Markus: In any case, this is a counter -movement at our fast -moving time, the desire to get a little down, take the time to inform yourself in detail and deeper about a topic. I think that is best possible if you just listen. I know that video -casts are now the latest hot shit, but I’m not there yet.
Jennifer: Then I have to look. It’s like sport!
You both cover a wide range of experience on stages, in front of cameras and on micros. Does the format podcast have a special charm on you?
Jennifer: For me it is just as much a medium as everything else. I just do a lot of things that have to do with music because my expertise is there. Only the topic is important to me.
Markus: I always don’t care what the respective play canal is. I’m talking in front of the television camera as well as before the radio microphone. What I particularly appreciate about the podcast is that you can take your time. More than on radio and television. What I also like about podcasts is that they are usually free of charge, so this is a very low -threshold offer.
So you take the public law education mandate very seriously.
Markus: We make an effort.
What are your personal podcast recommendations?
Jennifer: In addition to “Kaulitz Hills”, I hear a lot of true crime like “Murder Lust”, “Murder on ex” and “time crime” – oh, and “inside”, I also love it very much.
Markus: I like to hear from music podcasts “reflector”, but also a lot from the USA such as “Lost Notes” or “Desert Island Discs” from the BBC.
