The WDR talk show returns with a star-studded panel featuring television personalities, musicians, and public figures.
The popular Westdeutscher Rundfunk talk show "Kölner Treff" returns with a prominent lineup of guests on Friday evening at 10 p.m. Hosts Susan Link and Micky Beisenherz will lead the conversation with a diverse group of personalities, ranging from reality television stars to renowned musicians and comedians.
Among the high-profile guests appearing on the program is entrepreneur and television personality Natascha Ochsenknecht.

The broadcast will also feature comedian and moderator Ralf Schmitz. Ahead of his upcoming tour, the veteran entertainer is set to discuss how improvisation influences his daily life and career, bringing his signature energy and quick wit to the studio.
Singer Nico Santos is scheduled to join the discussion as well. Having built a successful career following his breakthrough hit "Rooftop" in 2017, the artist is preparing to launch a new musical tour this autumn while continuing to write songs for major acts in the industry.
Additional guests on the program include actress Ann-Kathrin Kramer, who currently tours the country with the stage production "Chocolat" alongside her husband and fellow actor Harald Krassnitzer. Pianist Igor Levit will also appear to discuss his music and his newly founded label, which aims to support young artists while taking a firm public stance against antisemitism and exclusion.
Rounding out the guest list is Jennifer Springer, a teaching student from Cologne who experienced a stroke at age thirty-two. Springer shares her daily experiences with speech impediments and stuttering on Instagram under the handle "stotter_otter," bringing humor and honesty to her online presence.
