"Behind the microphone" – the audience steps into the world of Swedish Radio
As part of Sveriges Radio's 100th anniversary, Sveriges Radio is opening its studio doors to 100 listeners for a day behind the scenes. The initiative is called "Behind the Microphone".
It is a way to celebrate our century-old history – together with those we exist for, says program director Sofia Wadensjö Karén .
Up to 100 listeners from all over the country will have the opportunity to visit their favorite editorial office, see how the programs are made and maybe be heard on the air themselves. A number of selected podcasts and programs are included in the initiative, including, "Ask Agnes Wold", "In the mind of Louise Epstein", "Sportextra" "Klassisk morgon" or "Klassisk förmidtning", "Morning session in P3", "Kvällspasset" and "Lantzkampen" to name a few.
The initiative is inspired by similar initiatives by international public service broadcasters. Both the BBC and DR have opened their newsrooms to the public during their 100th anniversary celebrations, which was a great success.
This is a fantastic opportunity. It is clear that listeners will enter our radio houses and studios. I hope that I will also have the honor of meeting some listeners who want to visit us, says Titti Schultz , one of the presenters of P4 Extra, which is also a program that can be visited.
Listeners apply by submitting a short motivation and information about how it works and which programs and editorial departments listeners can apply to is available via Sveriges Radio's website . Applications open on 1 September and are open until 31 September, when each editorial department will then select the listeners who will be allowed to visit at the end of the year.
