A new podcast series of Giulia Foïs
To discover from Friday November 29, 2024
on the Radio France application and franceinter.fr
France Inter enriches its podcast offering with a new original series, led by Giulia Foïs, journalist and producer, continuing her work on the show On the sidelinesbroadcast on Saturdays at 8 p.m., and the special day dedicated by the channel to mental health last September.
This unique podcast gives voice to unique people, marked by life, whether psychologically or physically: individuals suffering from psychiatric or mood disorders, with bodily or mental particularities.
A true logbook, the series is based on voice notes sent to Giulia Foïs. The interlocutors reveal themselves to deliver raw and vibrant stories for the first time without an intermediary. Through their words, listeners discover a shared world, the one that we all inhabit, but also interior landscapes, rich in dreams, fears, obsessions and desires.
This new podcast is therefore a stroll both in the city and in their lives. A dive into their skin and their mind. It explores what they experience and how they experience it, finally giving them a voice. The opportunity to better understand, over the course of an episode, what it really means to be extraordinary !
