Babel on Radio Campus

This is Paris speaking,
Babel France here to the students.
Babel France is not
only running a blog but the Parisian staff turns out to be pluralist and a jack
of all trades: they are not afraid of writing and sound. On the contrary, gimme
a mic or I’ll make a scene.
Since beginning of October, every Thursday nights, in
Radio Campus’ program “L’Extraballe” (7 to 8pm on 93.8FM), Babel
France holds the microphone
for a 5 minutes spot with this motto: “Straight to the point, let’s talk about Europe.” Don’t laugh; it took us an hour to come up with
this phrase…
A small team then changes over every week to make this
moment of radio bliss possible. The Belgian political crisis, Polish elections,
the Reform Treaty, minority languages, Erasmus life are some of the themes we
talked about. All in all we’ll talk about everything that comes to our head
keeping in mind this leitmotiv: EUROOOOOOPE.
To share the productions of this partnership, La Parisienne’s radio team
has decided to put online their spots. We wish we had done it before but
technical considerations deterred us from doing so. But after a fierce battle,
we defeated the Internet technology; victory is ours! Vae Victis.
We will shortly make it up to you and a new column
will soon see the light of day: Babel France on live.
The old spots will be online before long and new ones as they go along.
Just strain your ears, close your eyes, you’re in Europe.
