“Over the last twenty-five years, we have been affected by major societal upheavals, digital revolutions, geopolitical and cultural transformations. With all the France Culture teams, we have imagined an exceptional time to start taking stock of the first quarter of a century and turn to the challenges of tomorrow with a program that will continue throughout 2025.”
Emelie de Jong, director of France Culture
