SelfieSandra and LaserLuca Announce End of 'Dick & Doof' Podcast

They say growing scheduling pressures and rushed recordings drained the fun so they will end the regular show and release occasional special episodes through 2026.

Overview

  • The hosts announced the decision in a roughly 16‑minute video on Luca Scharpenberg’s YouTube channel and said the choice was made privately months earlier.
  • They set the final regular episode for 5 August 2026 and said several special episodes will be published through the end of 2026.
  • Both cited increasing outside commitments and the need to batch-record episodes into rushed sessions as the main reasons they lost enjoyment of the weekly format.
  • The duo denied any falling‑out with platform partner RTL, praised the collaboration, and confirmed the podcast archive will remain available on RTL+.
  • After seven years as one of the most successful German‑language podcasts, the end closes a staple of many listeners’ routines while keeping occasional new content for fans.
