What state are you in when you finish your radio and TV morning?
I'm never very happy with myself, “let's do the match again” atmosphere! (Laugh). I tell myself that I should have asked this and that, it usually takes me a good hour to come down and accept the reality of living matter. I live in a particularly spontaneous way. There is what I prepare and what I ultimately say, depending on the person I have in front of me. No two interviews are ever the same, even with the same guests. Regardless of how the interview went, I'm always amused when people come back. I deduce that high standards are a form of success.
Is it true that you go from the RMC studio to that of BFMTV by changing shoes?
Quite ! I'm in sneakers on radio then in heels for Face to face. It's symbolic of two slightly different atmospheres and for me, it's a form of height. I need to have some sort of battle gear for this more formal interview. I arrive above all nourished by what I experienced during the morning and in particular by the testimonies of all the listeners who challenge me every morning, telling me about their lives. It's very important to me, I constantly think of them when I ask my guests questions.
Apolline de Malherbe: her secrets about her new show
Is that also where you draw this energy from stepping up to the plate and occupying the air until 10 a.m. from January 6?
There is, in any case, a sincerity in my approach. I'm pretty much the same in life as I am on the air. Our role, we presenters and interviewers, is to ask the questions that we raise among friends or colleagues. Of course, there are subjects that lend themselves to this more than others, not everyone asks themselves every day how to resolve the conflict in the Middle East or in Ukraine… But there are subjects that are very concerning for the French like dynamic prices for example, these flexible prices according to demand. Every week, I want to break my phone when I buy train tickets for a large family… These are subjects that I find important to discuss with politicians. This world should not be removed from our daily lives.
The show that you are going to present soon on RMC Story, in access, Apolline chez vous, is a continuation of what you already offer?
Exactly. This is a project that is very close to my heart. I had the idea… I had been looking around for a very long time, I told myself that I had extraordinary testimonies from all over France, from people from all walks of life. Each one fascinates me and makes me want to go further because I am often hungry when I hang up, I feel that they have other things to tell. They are, each and every one, a little piece of France. So I told myself we were going to call them back and go to their house! I will sit down with them, on the sofa, at the kitchen table and through these lives, which are both ordinary and extraordinary, and tell these little pieces of France. I get as much pleasure, if not more, from interacting with everyday people as with ministers.
