Oliver Pocher Reboots Podcast With Pietro Lombardi After Sandy Meyer-Wölden's Exit

Pocher moved quickly to preserve his weekly release schedule by installing a close friend who is currently living in his house as co-host.

Overview

  • Sandy Meyer-Wölden confirmed her departure on Instagram, saying she no longer felt the format after recent travels and that she was not given the chance to record a farewell episode.
  • The new Olli–Pietro lineup published its first episode overnight, with Pocher stating that stopping the show was not an option and both emphasizing their long-standing friendship.
  • Media reports citing Bild say the Podimo contract expired and new talks fell through, and the podcast is reportedly set to remain on Podimo for about three months before moving exclusively to Pocher’s Pocher Club.
  • Pocher and Meyer-Wölden publicly signaled no bad blood, while many fans expressed disappointment over the abrupt change and the lack of a goodbye episode.
  • Lombardi has been staying at Pocher’s home and said he initially hesitated over how the pairing would be received before agreeing to join the show.
