A man washes up on shore in Sitka, Alaska and finds himself in the middle of an underground boxing show. It’s a place where you might duke it out with the bartender, the locals, or your own troubled past.

This episode contains violence and strong language. Sensitive listeners, please be advised.

Mon ARTE - 30 ans d’aventures racontés par ses salarié.es
A travers les témoignages des salarié.e.s, cette série en 5 épisodes invite à plonger dans les 30 ans de la chaîne culturelle ARTE. Une odyssée parfois cosmique, souvent comique, faite d’orages solaires et de disquettes informatiques, d’entente franco-allemande et de réunions Teams, de pizza et d’Internet, de hard-rock et de sang de chèvre. Un podcast d'entreprise garanti sans mot du directeur ni de la DRH, qui relate en toute liberté les petits ratés et les grands succès de l’aventure d’ARTE.

Enregistrement : 2022 - Prises de son, montage, réalisation : Thomas Guillaud-Bataille - Mise en ondes, musique originale et mix : Samuel Hirsch - Production : ARTE Radio, ARTE France

Mon ARTE (5/5)

Century City

L'humour est partout, l'humour fait vendre, pourtant le rire au lit passe souvent pour une mauvaise nouvelle. Nous sommes sérieux comme des papes. Nous avons la trouille que ce rire soit un jugement. Nous nous demandons si l'expression "femme qui rit, à moitié dans ton lit" ne recouvre pas un énorme malentendu : et si cette femme qui rit, au lieu d'entrer dans notre lit... était occupée à en sortir ?
A retrouver aussi sur la chaîne Youtube ARTE Radio .
