TVIt will be your (new) husband… George Roberts (40), candidate in the Britishversion of ‘Married Blind’, is accused of assault, but the program makers wereallowed to tie the knot. Three exes can’t believe their eyes. “I’m shockedthat someone like that gets a podium.”

Three former partners filed a complaint against George. All three call himobsessive, manipulative and abusive. They cannot understand that such a personis allowed to participate in ‘Blind Married’. They therefore sounded the alarmwhen they saw their ex appear in the trailer. Although the makers of theprogram completely ignored them. “I’m shocked that someone like that gets astage on a TV show. I notified the creators and told them I was filing acomplaint with the police. They asked for additional information, but afterthat I didn’t hear from them again,” said one of the women.

Same story with a second wife: “I contacted ‘Blind Married’ and all theproducers to tell them that he is a known emotional and mental abuser.”

The third witness also tried to do everything he could to prevent hisparticipation. “I sent everything I had to the creators. They claimed theywould investigate.”

Police check

The production and broadcaster of the TV show defend itself by saying thatevery participant is thoroughly investigated and that all allegations of thisnature are taken seriously. “We work closely with our production partners toensure that all ‘Blind Married’ contestants are subject to a rigorousbackground and psychological check. A police check is also part of this,” saysa spokesperson for the channel. Another source of the channel claims that theywere only informed of the allegations after the recordings.

Meanwhile, the new season of the British ‘Blind Married’ to the controversialRoberts is already halfway through. The man married April, but the fairy talewas reportedly too good to be true. April hinted on Instagram that theirrelationship was coming to an end. “The traumas that came up through the showmade me look at it differently. Since then I’ve also been seeing a therapistand I’m not ashamed of that,” she wrote.

George himself did not respond directly to the allegations, but used hisspokesperson. “As the father of four daughters, he finds the allegationsdeeply disturbing and does not condone abuse at all. He doesn’t act that wayeither. The allegations have never been brought to the attention because theyare simply not true.”

The story of podcasts in the Netherlands started around 2005 with a radiodeejay. The then 17-year-old Domien Verschuuren was one of the first in theNetherlands to podcast on a regular basis. His show was called cooling cast, he made fifty episodes of it. The technique for offering audio in this way –an audio program that you can play at a time of your choosing and to which youcan subscribe – was developed in America in the early nineties. The new mediumwas soon embraced in the Netherlands by radio makers, who experimented with itlong before money could be made from it.

Now dozens of radio makers are working on podcasts. What does the new mediumhave to offer them?

In the early years it was like playing a radio pirate. Chris Bajema, now oneof the most successful podcasters in the Netherlands, still vividly remembersit. „At that time I made for the VPRO program The evenings a weekly columnthat The Pod Guide was called. In it I showed what kind of podcasts weremade, that was actually almost exclusively American. A lot of it was aboutbarbecuing.” Podcasts were, especially compared to radio, still veryexperimental. “I remember a man who recorded sounds in New York and put themonline.”

I was happy that I finally got rid of the pinching formats>> Chris Bajema

Bajema decides to switch to podcasts in 2015. “I organized a crowdfundingcampaign and then my own show started, Man with the microphone. In thebeginning, it was very profitable for me financially. The kind of podcasts Imake are very labour-intensive, but I was happy to finally get rid of theconstricting formats that dictated how long something should take or whatexactly my research assignment was. For me, that fact outweighed the amount ofwork I had to do.”

That also applies to another podcaster from the very beginning, Botte Jellema.He also worked at The evenings of the VPRO Radio, but at the time theprogram was broadcast on Radio 6, the first public channel to broadcast onlyvia the internet. “No dog listened to that, you didn’t have apps andsmartphones and fast wireless internet connections. We thought that offering_The evenings_ if podcast might save our program.” He has no figures, butJellema remembers that the number of listeners “increased enormously” afterthey started calling the radio program a podcast.

Messing around without format compulsion

Stopped at the end of 2015 The evenings and Jellema decided to start her ownpodcast together with friend and artist Ype Driessen, The Century of theAmateur. He also remembers the freedom of making audio without formatpressure. “We just messed around a bit. And recorded with the cheapestpossible recorder. If it didn’t work, at least it wouldn’t have cost anything.What we did was explore what was possible in audio, without taking intoaccount the length of what we were making. I remember in the third episode Isaid that 400 people had listened. We are now, we are at episode 250, at50,000 listeners per episode.” With the listeners came the revenue models.“Initially, it was financially unsuccessful,” Jellema recalls.

Both Bajema and Jellema are now affiliated with Dag en Nacht Media, a podcastpublisher that was founded in 2016 by Tim de Gier and Anne Janssens. The twoknew each other from the editors of magazine Free Netherlands. Janssens: „Wewere both very interested in the new medium of podcast. He wanted morelisteners for his cycling podcast, The Red Lantern. And I wanted more Dutchpodcasts, so we decided to set up our own publishing house. We wanted tocreate a network that would allow creators to monetize their podcasts. In theend we succeeded, with trial and error. Every new podcast we add to ourportfolio brings its own group of listeners. We then encourage those listenersto listen to other podcasts as well.”

The corona pandemic gave the burgeoning podcast economy the final push. “Wedidn’t know what hit us. All ad revenues were lost. But then we saw that thelistening figures skyrocketed and the advertisers all came back again. Thegreater financial scope gave us the opportunity to start financing podcastsdifferently. At first we did that through the back door, we looked foradvertisements in podcasts. Now we can pay podcast makers in advance to workout plans and do research,” says Janssens.

In this way the medium matures slowly. Nevertheless, it will alwaysemphatically continue to seek cooperation with the public and commercial radiobroadcasters, since podcast and radio are, after all, closely related.

The new reading About this series

What trends are behind the podcast’s rise?

1. Why radio makers are switching to podcasts 2. How far do podcasters go in sharing their children’s lives? 3. Is there room in the market for a Dutch player in addition to Apple and Spotify? 4. Is it possible to make podcasts for the deaf?

“I think it is a task of the public broadcasters to finance, as they call itin jargon, ‘narrative’ and therefore more expensive podcast series on socialthemes,” says Emmie Kollau. With her production company Aldus’ Productions shemakes multimedia productions, including podcasts. As an example of anarrative, social podcast, she mentions their own series about ex-prisoners_Outside the Walls_. “But despite the increasing popularity of podcasts, verylittle money has still been reserved for this genre from the NPO and thebroadcasters.” For a new production, _The Ranchi Babies; a colonial legacy_did we manage to work together with the NTR? The podcast is about the 37babies who were born in 1950 on the steamship Ranchi, which hurriedly leftIndonesia, which had just become independent, loaded with Dutchmen and KNILsoldiers.

Through such collaborations, radio and podcast can reinforce each other.Maartje Duin is someone who has extensive experience with this. She made theimpressive series in 2020 Plantation of our ancestors , in which sheinvestigates traces of the slavery past in her family. According to Duin,radio is ideally suited for broadcasting podcasts: “Many people do not yethave the podcast in their system properly. Radio is a very good addition toput them on the track of great programs, especially now that there is such aproliferation of podcasts. I’m glad the VPRO is broadcasting mine, sometimesin full, sometimes just one episode. After all, radio is a medium throughwhich you can suddenly be surprised. Sometimes I think it’s a shame thatpeople leave the radio.”

Podcasts are the rescue of radio

One of them is Pieter van der Wielen, who until recently hosted the interviewprogram four times a week Never sleep again presented, between twelve andone in the morning on Radio 1. He recently switched to NRC where he has aninterview podcast every Friday The hour presents. “I actually didn’t know ifmaking podcasts was for me. Until a baker once told me that while he wasthrowing the loaves of bread in the oven early in the morning, he was watchingthe podcast of Never sleep again listened. Because the program was live, butit was also offered as a podcast. So then I thought, what’s the differenceanyway? A long interview is a long interview.”

Podcasts are in a sense the salvation of radio, says Van der Wielen. “Podcastsare a gathering place for all the beautiful forms of radio that are in dangerof disappearing. It is the domain of all those good makers who are gettingless and less attention on the radio. A market has emerged in which all ofthis can be experienced again.” The flexible moment of broadcasting does notsuit him as a maker too bad. “When NRC first polled me I wasn’t ready atall. But when I was increasingly attacked by bouts of fatigue, I thought:maybe working during the day is not so bad after all. So that I now belong tothe podcast world has a big advantage for me. I can finally sleep again.”

Radio makers in podcast land

Chris Bajema (1971) he worked for many years as a documentary maker,reporter and radio play maker for the KRO, NTR and VPRO. Characteristic of hiswork is the fascination for the boundary between fiction and non-fiction. Hehas been making podcasts since 2015.

‘Go quietly to the toilet’, José De Cauwer advised us after Remco Evenepoelhad run off with a Kazakh in his wheel, although immediately throwing afterit: ‘But take your television with you!’ Thirty kilometers later we sawEvenepoel on that television as the new world champion cycling on the road.Where we were then is nobody’s business.

Jan HauspieSunday 25 September 202212:00

Evenepoel’s ultimate attack – which, as usual with him, was no attack: he justpushed a little harder on the pedals – took place in the penultimate lap. Thattiming was predicted by most experts: “Usually a World Cup is decided in thelast two rounds,” he said. Dirk De Wolf in Humo. Evenepoel, not only afellow countryman of De Wolf, but apparently also a Humolese, quickly droveaway from Alexey Lutsenko and went into the final round solo. “If hecrosses the finish line the last time before the finish line with a two-minutelead, they won’t see him again,” he said. Karl Vannieuwkerke. He wasright. Almost two and a half minutes later sprinted Wout van Aert for thesilver, but finished fourth.

“I don’t think I will ever have a better season,” Evenepoel said afterwards,remarkably controlled. That serenity is perhaps the greatest metamorphosisthat the child prodigy from Schepdaal has undergone in the past year. Withoutsharp edges, he is again the spontaneous boy who wishes you every success.’There will be no criticism here,’ said mother agna to the Sporza reporterwho had gone to the supporters cafe of the new world champion. With that shereferred to last year’s World Cup in Leuven. Evenepoel broke the course openfrom much too far and guided Julian Alaphilippe so in a seat to the worldtitle. That got him a lot of criticism. Justifiable criticism, because if hethen raced in Australia as he does now, Wout van Aert in particular would havehad better chances of winning in Leuven. With the rainbow win in Wollongong,Evenepoel has now finally settled that discussion in his favor.

Van Aert finished just outside the medals. Just as Evenepoel Lutsenko brokeloose, he accelerated in the background. A striking effort that could count onlittle understanding from De Cauwer: ‘Van Aert must check, this is against therules of the game!’ According to Van Aert, he did not know how far Evenepoeldrove ahead and how many riders separated him from his compatriot. He didn’teven know that he was sprinting for a medal. The handshake with Evenepoel washearty, and it was even a joke. But they didn’t hug each other – in view ofthe cameras anyway. Evenepoel has already won his first world title – he is 22- time is running out for Van Aert – 28.

The question, raised by Evenepoel himself, remains whether he will ever drivea better season. With someone who mocks all the current theories, anything ispossible. Earlier this season, Evenepoel won a monument (Liège-Bastogne-Liège), a Grand Tour (the Vuelta) and now the rainbow jersey. Only threeriders did that before him: Bernard Hinault , Eddy Merckx and anItalian almost 100 years ago. The last to combine a Grand Tour win with theworld title was Greg LeMond in 1989 – he then won the Tour. The fact thatEvenepoel also took the World Cup bronze in the time trial, barely one weekafter he won the Vuelta, went against every current theory about fitness andjet lag processing.

Image BELGA

2022 will be a year not to forget for Evenepoel, with his marriage to fiancélater on Oumi. The ‘Remcomania’ will only increase in strength. RenaatSchotte gave a foretaste: ‘Deep bow! Congratulations! Cheers!’ he concludedhis interview with the new world champion with three exclamation marks beforefalling out of the picture in a swoon. “It’s sport, it’s entertainment!”Earlier during the race, Vannieuwkerke had already let himself go in a bizarreattack against the Dutch who find his reporting too chauvinistic. As long ashe keeps calling Remco Evenepoel.

Ten years after Philippe Gilbert – who will ride his last professionalrace in two weeks – Belgium has another world champion on the road. WhetherEvenepoel will give up on it ten years after his world title, like Gilbert, isa question that cannot be answered now. Should he wish to appropriate theepithet ‘Merckxian’, he will be able to use it every year. Merckx won 525races in his career, Evenepoel is at 38. Go, Rem… Evenepoel!

The tenants of small business spaces in the Koepelgevangenis in Breda couldnot believe their eyes last week. They unexpectedly received an emailannouncing a huge rent increase. Due to the increased energy rates, the rentis three times higher. About eighty tenants in the complex are frustrated andfurious. Some entrepreneurs are even planning to leave.

In July, the old prison behind the Chasséveld was sold by the government toproject developers. As of October 1, they are the new owners. The complex willbe transformed into the ‘Koepel District’, an open area with houses,businesses, leisure and cultural facilities, which is connected to the citycenter of Breda. For the time being, the complex is still managed by vacancymanager VPS. The tenants received the bad news from that organization lastweek.

To combat vacancy, the complex now houses about eighty small businesses andcreatives. They rent a space through vacancy manager VPS. Last week, aftermonths of radio silence and uncertainty, they suddenly received an e-mail fromthe manager: as of October 1, the service costs will be increased to 100 eurosper square meter per year due to the increased energy rates. In concreteterms, this means that rents will triple.

“Weird that you only hear this ten days in advance.”

Artist Jasper Verhulst and boxing gym owner Gijs Haverman were shocked by thenews about the rent increase. “We only received that e-mail last week, whilethe contract should already start on October 1. It is bizarre that you onlyhear this ten days in advance,” says Jasper.

Artist Jasper Verhulst in his shared space (own photo).

The artist rents a space together with seven others. That now costs them about800 euros. That will soon be 2,500 euros. “We thought the new owner and VPSwould like to continue with us, but it doesn’t seem like that.” The e-mail hasarrived quickly, Jasper says: “The tenants immediately started a WhatsAppgroup to see what we should do with this.”

“I have only seen a proposal, but no contract yet.”

Gijs Havermans has had a boxing gym in the attic of the old Koepelgevangenisfor six months now. He now pays about 900 euros per month. That will be 3,000from October 1. “I’m curious how they will do that, because I’ve only receivedan email with a proposal from VPS, but haven’t seen a contract yet. It’s verystrange.”

Gijs Haverman thought he had found a stable place for his boxing gym.

He trains small groups in his boxing gym. “What they’ll ask for later.. forthat I have to work seven days a week and then I still have to put in money.So not possible.” Gijs thinks the increase is unreasonable. “Red-hot heatingpipes run through my room and in the summer it’s so hot that I can’t reallytrain there.”

“This is the death knell for many.”

The number of square meters that he rents has also been adjusted. “The managerhas now also included the stairs, hallway and toilets. These are common areasthat I can’t close, but that I do have to pay for.” The boxing school ownerhas his doubts whether this is all possible. “We sought legal help, becausethis feels very wrong. You don’t just have any other affordable space in thecity.”

Artist Jasper also sees it gloomy if he really has to pay that much rent more.”Then it stops for me and it is the death knell for many here.” According toboth men, the necessary tenants are already leaving, but Jasper is not givingup yet. “Most want to fight for their place here!”

The game from the title is a computer game, in which the players have tosurvive in their game forms. That gives the otherwise not so special adventurestory a funny twist, because just like in a real game the heroes can die andcome back. The big draw is the comical interplay of Johnson and Hart. Thefirst one in particular gives an excellent imitation of an insecure teenagerin the body of a wardrobe.

The death of Her Majesty the Queen of England has left people around theworld in mourning. But understandably, her family is most affected.

The Queen leaves behind four children. And while mothers always claim tohave no favourites, the Queen always seemed to have a soft spot for one of herchildren…

Getty Images

The Queen had four children with her husband Prince Philip. Her firstborn, whois now king, was Charles, followed by Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and finallyPrince Edward.

The Queen’s last born child, Edward, was born at 8:20 p.m. on March 10, 1964.He was the Queen’s lightest baby in terms of weight with a weight of 2.5kilos. This was the first birth of a child of his own that Prince Philiphimself attended, making the occasion all the more historic.

Queen Elizabeth was 37 years old at the time of Prince Edward’s birth and shehad asked Prince Philip to attend. The Duke of Edinburgh had complied with hiswife’s request and even held her hand as she went into labor in the deliveryroom.

It was during her fourth pregnancy that the Queen had read magazines thatsuggested the importance of a father’s involvement in the life and birth ofhis children. She was intrigued by the idea and decided to implement it in herlife with the birth of her next and last child. This also made history becausein the past royal births were not attended by fathers.

With the birth of her first three children, the monarch found it difficult tocombine work and motherhood. And as much as she would have liked to be therefor her children, she often had to leave them in the care of nannies while sheperformed her royal duties.

But things changed with the birth of Edward, Earl of Wessex, when she had beenqueen for over ten years. She was better able to combine her duties as a queenand her job as a mother, and thus had more time to be the latter.

GettyImages

So Edward had a much closer relationship with his parents than his oldersiblings. It was reported that the Duke of Edinburgh was also particularlyfond of his youngest, as he entrusted him with the responsibility of Awardscheme of the Duke of Edinburgh.

Prince Edward’s childhood was also much more exciting than that of his oldersiblings. The young prince even had the opportunity to meet Neil Armstrong,the first man on the moon, after which he was inspired and said he wanted topursue a career as an astronaut too!

After completing his schooling at Gordonstoun School, the young prince took agap year. In the gap year, he started working as a junior master and tutor atWanganui Collegiate School in New Zealand. He later attended Jesus College,graduating in 1986.

Edward decided to join the Royal Marines for a while, but dropped out halfwaythrough the year-long introductory course. He wasn’t a fan of the gruelingphysical training it took.

Instead, the young prince took a completely different direction in his careerand pursued a career in the theater. In doing so, he became the first personin the royal family to embark on a career in entertainment. He founded ArdentProductions in 1993, but the company was unsuccessful, so the prince returnedto his royal duties full-time.

Prince Edward met Sophie Rhys-Jones in 1987 at Capital Radio. At the time theprince was dating her friend, the two had never even thought of ending uptogether.

But in 1993 they met again at a charity event and sparks flew. The couplestarted dating and the prince made things official by taking Sophie as hisplus-one to important official events.

After witnessing the failed marriages of his older siblings – Charles toPrincess Diana, Andrew to Sarah Ferguson and Anne to Mark Phillips – PrinceEdward was more aware of his decision to marry. He deliberated for a while,and finally in 1999 he made up his mind.

The prince announced his engagement to Sophie in January 1999. He proposed toher with a beautiful Asprey and Garrard white gold ring with a two-carat ovaldiamond and two heart-shaped gemstones on either side.

They married in the summer of the same year in a small ceremony with nomilitary involvement. On the occasion of their wedding, the Queen presentedSophie with a tiara made from pieces from her jewelry collection.

After his marriage, the prince qualified for the title of duke, which is thehighest rank according to the British system of peerage. However, he declinedthe title and chose to become an earl instead.

During their marriage of more than two decades, the couple has welcomed twochildren. Their daughter Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary Mountbatten-Windsor andson James Alexander Philip Theo Mountbatten-Windsor, both were born at FrimleyPark Hospital in Surrey.

Lady Louise is said to have been the Queen’s favorite grandchild. And hermother Sophie, the favorite daughter-in-law.

Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, was closest to the Queen. After the Duke ofEdinburgh passed away, she made sure to visit her mother-in-law every otherday and make sure she was well.

Royal reporter Duncan Larcombe said: “Sophie Wessex has emerged as the Queen’sunlikely ‘rock’ as the monarch adjusted to life without Prince Philip. PrinceEdward’s wife has made it her personal mission – according to sources – toensure that Her Majesty is fully supported by the family.”

Edward and Sophie also live near Buckingham Palace and often stopped by to seethe Queen.

Earlier in the day of her death, Sophie and Edward arrived at Balmoral Castle,where the Queen was, concerned for her health. With Charles becoming king,Edward is expected to help with royal duties as well.

After the death of the Queen, the royal family has to go through a prettyrough time. Our hearts go out to all who mourn the death of the Queen.

In the NTR Saturday Matinee it went on Saturday afternoon First ViolinConcerto by Mathilde Wantenaar, written for and performed by violinist SimoneLamsma. Side note: Out of time constraints Wantenaar left the orchestration ofthe first and third movements to composer Tijmen van Tol.

Wantenaar’s music is beautiful and fairytale-like, with enough harps andglockenspiel to imagine yourself in a rosy world, but too little to becomekitschy. Low tones are so rare that they stand out when they sound equally.

The first part (lento, ‘slowly’) seems to be a musing on a beautiful past,with here the vague contours of a Gershwin-like New York, and there a fantasyabout one of the thousands and one nights. Conductor Karina Canellakis allowsbeautiful dynamic waves to pass through the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra,although the strings sometimes react somewhat tamely to so many beautifulmemories.

Conductor Mathilde Canellakis hardly doses in Bruckners Eighth. Not in> details, and not in general

Anti-virtuoso

Violinist Simone Lamsma, for whom the violin concerto was written, wanted tobe ‘put to work’ by Wantenaar. But Wantenaar doesn’t do that with manyvirtuoso passages with fast notes and complicated jumps. It was not. You couldcall most of it downright anti-virtuoso. Slow melodies should be played byLamsma; long lines, at the slowest point even one tone of nine slow strokeslong. Even in the cadence (the solo, flowing from Bach suite-like to EasternEuropean emotional) where Lamsma has to play so high that she almost touchesher stick, it still has to be done relatively slowly. That entails acompletely different level of difficulty: accurate intonation, colouring,building up and letting go of tension.

Lamsma is doing well, but you also notice that this anti-virtuosity isexciting territory. She is not quite sure what to do with it everywhere. Wouldyou like to join the orchestra or tell your own story? Sometimes she seems tolack her own conviction.

Fun stuff

The first two parts are the most exciting in their slowness. The third, morecheerfully fluttering part is less successful as a unit. It’s more of a motleycollection of ‘nice things’ that all take turns sounding. A few notes mutedtrumpet, contrabassoon, a bass drum, briefly some bells, a piece ofvibraphone, then suddenly a Russian-looking tutti; before you know it youforget to pay attention to the solo violinist, even now that part is a bitmore virtuoso.

The violin concerto is already beautiful, but the impression remains thatthere is still something to ripen that we will taste in subsequentperformances. Who knows, in a complete orchestration by Mathilde Wantenaarherself.

Canellakis’ is less convincing after that Eighth Symphony from Bruckner.There is nothing wrong with the string sound of the RadiFil, and the coppersound comes up to temperature just fine. But Canellakis hardly dose. Not indetails, and not in broad strokes. Bruckners Eighth is a hefty piece of longmaturing chords in which you irrevocably wander into your own thoughts, whichare unobtrusively but definitely colored by Bruckner, until he pulls you backto the real now with a sudden exciting passage. But Canellakis also tries tocharge those non-exciting parts electrically and push them jerkily forward.The result is that you are no longer shaken awake anywhere.

10 number 1 hits. Over 2 billion streams. But rapper Apache 207 remains amystery. Now he breaks the silence and allows a camera crew a peek into his

Over the past 23 years he presented various programs on OOG Radio. From nowon, however, DJ Henri Haan can be heard at Simone FM.

Hi Henry! How did you end up with Simone? “I have always found Simone FM a very nice station. A while ago I took theplunge and started a conversation with Simone’s boss. I then let it be knownthat I thought it would be a good idea to make a program for it. It was saidthat is good. But first a four-week trial. Those four weeks are now over, andfrom now on I can be heard permanently on Saturdays. I am really very happy!”

Making radio. It ‘s always been in your DNA, hasn’t it? “Yes, it has always been there. I grew up in the Drenthe countryside. When Icame home after a day at school, I went to my room. I made radio programs withcassette tapes and a double-barrelled cassette deck. Just for myself. I didn’twant my parents to know about this. It was really my thing. In 1996 I entereda radio studio for the first time. That was Radio 101, which was the radiostation for Delfzijl and Appingedam at that time. Every Friday I traveled upand down to Delfzijl to work in the editorial office there.”

And then came EYE Radio… “That was in 1999. I think I was 24 years old then. I was then active for awhile for a radio program on Friday evenings. Mark Bakker, who currently worksfor RTV Oost, was a reporter for the program and went through the city with alive channel to make reports. I was allowed to go with him once. And that waswhen the reporter in me was born. It was a period when I learned a lot.”

What was the first program you presented on OOG Radio? “That was the Working Titles programme. I presented that for years. Gertjanvan Stralen presented that, and at a certain point I took over. First everyworking day between 09:00 and 12:00, later I presented only on Fridays. Afterthat I made and presented a lot of other programs, during which I made ‘Goingwith Haan’ in recent years.”

What ‘s so great about making radio? “First of all because of the music. To introduce people who listen to musicthat is cool. And it’s radio, so you don’t have a picture with it. You canstimulate the imagination in people. You can amaze listeners. You can actuallycompare it to a radio play. That you can really take someone into a world thatyou sketch. It’s very magical. I think that’s wonderful.”

Then you must have a problem with all those cameras that hang in radiostudios these days? “Haha no. I also just stay who I am. When music is played, I just sing anddance along. Also because music gives me a lot of energy. The presence ofcameras does not affect my behavior. Frankly, I also think it can be areinforcing factor. For example, on my radio program ‘Gaan met Haan’ I alwayshad a guest in the studio. It’s nice to see a guest, to see the interaction.So it doesn’t have to be bad. And after all, you are in charge of whether youare watching through the camera.”

And now after 23 years you leave OOG Radio… “Well, before people panic. I will remain connected to OOG Radio. OOG Radiois, and will always be, in my heart because it is a great broadcaster thatshows Groningen in a beautiful way like no other. That is why I also said tothe program manager of OOG Radio, if a special is made aroundEurosonic/Noorderslag or the Liberation Festival, I want to be there. There isno discussion about that.”

People might think you ‘re a late bloomer… “I am 47 years old. I’ve seen everything that can be bought in life. And nowI’m throwing myself to the lions. Do you know. At OOG Radio I see 18-year-oldboys who are very busy with talent, with further growth. I don’t have all thatanymore. I just want to do what I like. In a way that suits me. Behind themixing console or with microphone on location. Simone gave me a chance, andI’m going to really enjoy it.”

Now a lot is said and written in the Netherlands. About 3FM for example andtheir new programming. Now that you work at a larger station, do you worryabout that too? “No, not a second. You are indeed right, a lot is said in this country. Peopletype about someone they don’t know. It’s also so easy to tear something down.I am a positive person. I think it would be very good if we all started toapproach it a bit more positively, and not immediately look at something withnegative glasses.”

What do you hope to achieve in the near future? “I hope to be able to make radio with great pleasure, and that people willenjoy listening to the radio. That listeners have a nice Saturday afternoon.And what I might also find important is to show that with 47 years old you canstill take steps. It’s never too late to take on a new challenge in your life.That should be on everyone’s mind. We all lead our own lives. One is a bitfaster than the other. But it is never too late to chase a dream.”

Henri’s radio program can be heard every Saturday afternoon between 3 and 6 pm
