Wolfgang M. Schmitt started the YouTube channel "Die Filmanalyse" while studying German, philosophy and art history in 2011, joined the podcast in 2019 with his economic format "Wohlstand für Alle" and then in 2020 together with Stefan Schulz for "Die Neuen Zwanziger". Together with Ole Nymoen, he wrote a children's book ("Die kleinen Holzdiebe") and a book about influencers ("Influencer. Die Ideologie der Werbekörper).
Stefan Schulz studied sociology in Bielefeld and was then lured to the FAZ by Frank Schirrmacher. He then embarked on a career as a podcaster, starting with "Aufwachen" with Tilo Jung and, since 2020, "Die Neuen Zwanziger" with Wolfgang M. Schmitt and the "Alias" TV podcast. As an author, he has written about the crisis of traditional journalism ("Redaktionsschluss"), demographic change ("Die Altenrepublik") and the situation of families ("Die Kinderwüste").
