Overview
- Spotify announced that Gemischtes Hack surpassed one billion streams and celebrated the milestone with a public event at the Berliner Ensemble.
- Hosts Felix Lobrecht and Tommi Schmitt recorded in front of more than 600 fans at the 'Hacktag' on Tuesday and presented a self‑ironical mockumentary during the live show.
- Spotify credited the reach to the podcast's devoted 'Hackis' community and said Gemischtes Hack ranks among the platform's most‑streamed talk shows worldwide.
- The show, launched in 2017, mixes everyday anecdotes with political and social commentary and has become one of Germany's leading podcasts.
- While Spotify uses total streams as a promotional metric, streams do not equal unique listeners or fixed revenue per play, and live events remain a key way the hosts monetize and deepen fan ties.
