In Folge 138 spricht Seb mit Jörn Elsenbruch – Tätowierer, Unternehmer und eine der prägenden Stimmen der deutschen Tattoo-Szene. Es geht um Jörns Anfänge in einer Zeit, in der Tätowierungen noch klar in Subkulturen verortet waren, um den Weg von Magic Moon vom Studio in Erkelenz zur etablierten Größe und um die Frage, wie sehr sich die Branche zwischen früherer Außenseiterkultur und heutigem Überangebot verändert hat.Außerdem wird's konkret: Seb und Jörn sprechen über technische Entwicklungen wie Pens und Cartridges, über Qualitätsansprüche bei Equipment, über den Einfluss asiatischer Produktion auf den Markt und über die wachsende Austauschbarkeit vieler Brands. Dazu kommt Jörns Blick auf Verbände, politische Grabenkämpfe, den Befähigungsnachweis, REACH, Pigmentverbote und die Schwierigkeit, eine vielfältige Branche überhaupt gemeinsam zu vertreten. Eine Folge über Erfahrung, Haltung und darüber, was vom alten Tattoo-Spirit geblieben ist – und was sich unaufhaltsam verändert hat.[ WERBUNG ]Bei unseren Werbepartnern könnt ihr richtig sparen - darunter bei Neonsfeer, Murostar, Killer Ink, Cheyenne Tattoo Equipment, CoalBlack oder Caos Nero!

Bright geometric shapes make the graffiti work of Kenyan artist Wise Two really stand out. Michael Kaloki tracks how his bold style is evolving as he travels to Mexico where. he says, street art is more widely accepted than in Nairobi, a city where he tends to paint murals in densely populated districts like Kibera and Jericho. On this trip to Mexico, Wise Two has started using a more varied colour palette and not just the traditional primary colours of Maasai masks he was known for. He is also using gold leaf on smaller canvases and abstract shapes on a tricky commission to paint cylindrical air-conditioning vents, not the usual flat surface which graffiti artists decorate. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from In the Studio, exploring the processes of the world's most creative people.

Überall wird diese Woche Feuer gelegt: Zum einen bei ARD und ZDF, denn hier wird weiter der Rotstift angesetzt. Zahlreiche Spartensender wie One oder tagesschau24 sind betroffen und verschwinden Ende des Jahres von der Bildfläche. Körber und Hammes geben den genauen Überblick. Feurig geht es auch bei der Übernahme von Warner Bros. Discovery zu, denn bald wird sich entscheiden, inwiefern deren Streamingdienste zusammengelegt werden – und unter welchem Namen. Noch mehr Feuer gab es bei ntv, als deren Studio wegen eines Brandes geräumt werden musste und intern dann auch noch falsch darüber berichtet wurde. Und beim ESC brennt es ohnehin, denn Sarah Engels gewinnt den Vorentscheid für Wien und vertritt Deutschland mit ihrem Titel "Fire". Nur hier gibt es natürlich traditionell die saarländische Version davon ...

Have you ever wondered what actually goes on behind the velvet ropes of Hollywood and the massive arenas of the sports world? In this episode, Frank sits down with Maddy Myer, a seasoned publicist and the host of the brand new podcast, Maddy Mania. Maddy pulls back the curtain on the high-stakes world of public relations, revealing that it takes far more than just walking red carpets to manage a celebrity's image. From navigating sudden PR crises to adapting to the influencer era, Maddy shares her insider knowledge and career journey. Plus, we dive into her new podcasting venture, which perfectly blends deep fan "spirals" with expert industry analysis, covering everything from K-Pop and wrestling to classic TV shows. Timestamps & Topics 00:00:00 – Introduction: Welcoming Maddy Myer and the launch of Maddy Mania. 00:00:28 – What does a Hollywood publicist actually do? (Hint: It's not just red carpets). 00:01:35 – Career Pivot: How Maddy transitioned from nursing to Public Relations. 00:02:57 – Behind the Scenes: Handling crises, time management, and staying adaptable. 00:03:50 – The PR Shift: How social media and influencer collabs are taking over traditional press. 00:04:55 – Sports vs. Entertainment: Exploring the massive overlap in fandom culture. 00:07:18 – Industry Advice: How to land a job in PR (internships and writing are key!). 00:08:40 – Hollywood's take on PR: Why Maddy loves Apple TV's The Studio. 00:10:41 – The birth of Maddy Mania: Balancing professional goals with pure fan obsession. 00:14:52 – The power of Comic-Con and the importance of exclusivity in modern press runs. 00:20:47 – Dream Guests: Why Ariana Grande and CM Punk are at the top of Maddy's list. 00:21:54 – Rapid Fire Questions: Blackpink dominance, Gossip Girl comfort watches, and viral wrestling theme songs. Key Takeaways PR is Crisis Management: A publicist's true value lies in their adaptability. What seems like a minor hiccup can easily turn into a major crisis, requiring constant schedule juggling and rapid problem-solving. Social Media is the New Press: Traditional media (like radio and print) is taking a backseat to content creation, influencer collaborations, and digital brand building. Fandoms are Universal: Whether you are pitching a sports client or an entertainment star, the passion of the fanbase is the driving force behind a successful campaign. Start Early and Write Often: For those aspiring to enter the PR field, getting diverse internship experience and heavily refining your writing skills are the most critical steps to success. Embrace Your Inner Fan: Maddy Mania proves that you can be a respected industry professional while still unabashedly "spiraling" over your favorite childhood shows, K-pop groups, or wrestlers. Memorable Quotes "You are basically their image makers. You are who's in charge of making sure they look good on camera and off camera... and making sure that their brand and their image stays in a positive light." > "I feel like something that you think could be small could become like a major crisis... being a publicist, you have to be adaptable and flexible, for sure." "Exclusivity is everything in the modern publicist realm. And so Comic-Con is a really good, high-profile event to kind of announce those kinds of things."
