Pötzelsberger in private:

“Never sent Strache flowers, of course”

Tobias Pötzelsberger is currently not in the studio, but on stage. The "Krone" met the ZIB presenter before the start of his tour at the Posthof in Linz and chatted to the 41-year-old about his dream woman, anonymous emails, his obsession with cleaning and the National Council election.

The train from Vienna is 25 minutes late. Well, the floods have also kept Tobias Pötzelsberger on his toes recently. With almost hourly reports in the news. And as far as his second mainstay is concerned, the ZIB man is also currently running at full speed. His Austrian tour kicked off on Thursday, and his new album "Prudence" is well worth listening to. Even if Mr. and Mrs. Austrian know him primarily as a news presenter, the 41-year-old can also sing. Although he has never had any vocal training. "I went to a singing teacher once in my life, but I left because I thought to myself: the exercises won't do me any good. I used to sing in the car with my mom. That's how it came about," says the Upper Austrian.
