RN EuroQuest (#09): A second chance to hear stories of fame and fortune
From: Radio Netherlands Worldwide
Series: RN EuroQuest: Public Radio's Weekly European Journal
Length: 53:58
Segment 1 - German Stand-up Comedy: Oxymoron or Fact
A new generation of German comedians is emerging - and they're tired of the usual slapstick sketches and political cabaret. Instead, they're taking a cue from the United States and Britain, where stand-up comedy has a long tradition. Mike M?hlberger has this report on the Teutonic comedy boom.
Segment 2 - Mushroom Music
The Czech composer Vaclav Halek has developed the rather unusual composing style of listening to wild mushrooms. With his "special gift", Halek has composed more than 2000 pieces of music, including orchestral pieces, film scores and even a full symphony. Rob Cameron joined the unorthodox composer for an inspiring walk through the woods.
Segment 3 - The Well Heeled Gansta Rapper Chooses Cognac
Until recently, the cognac business was in what seemed like terminal crisis. But now help has arrived from a most expected quarter to revive the fortunes of one of France's most venerable businesses, as John Laurenson reports?
Segment 4 - Germany Opens Academy of Pop Music
A new school in Germany is teaching the next generation of Britneys, Justins and Christinas about how to make it in the world of pop. They not only get tips on harmony, melody and lyric writing, but their students also learn how to negotiate the right contract. The school founders claim graduates leave equipped to make it in the industry. Kyle James reports.
Segment 5 - The Yodeling T-shirt
Amazingly successful, this fusion of tradition and tack is sold in a shop in the tiny town of G?lling near Salzburg. And as Astrid Nolte in Salzburg discovered, you just press the picture of the yodeler on the front and. ...Voil?.
