Déi meescht Software, déi zu Lëtzebuerg an der Verwaltung benotzt gëtt, kënnt vu grousse US-Techkonzernen – Microsoft, Google, Amazon a Co. A mat engem Trump, dee rem an der Regierung ass, stellt sech d'Fro: Wat passéiert, wann dës Konzerner op eemol net méi wëllen oder däerfen? D'Regierung gesäit kee grousse Risiko, mä aner Länner wéi Däitschland oder Holland huelen d'Saach méi eescht. Wat heescht technologesch Souveränitéit iwwerhaapt? Firwat kéint Open Source eng Léisung sinn? A wéi eng Alternativen ginn et fir jiddereen*t am Alldag? Am Gespréich mat Joël Adami geet d'woxx dëse Froen op de Grond.

Festrogen, Luxembourg's women-centered comedy festival, is back this April with another edition packed with wit, workshops, and a growing sense of community. Organisers and comedians Jess Bauldry and Marta Correia joined the Breakfast Show to discuss the upcoming festival, which runs from April 24–27, and the powerful role it plays in carving space for women and non-binary voices in comedy. Both comedians shared personal journeys that led them to the stage. Jess traded journalism's objectivity for stand-up's raw honesty, and Marta dove into comedy during a life-changing divorce. “You give yourself permission to talk about your life,” Marta reflected. “Once you can laugh at your flaws, nothing can bring you down.” Workshops remain central to Festrogen's mission. This year's program includes sessions on sketch comedy, comic illustration, comedy survival, and crowd work. Instructors hail from across Europe, bringing experience and diversity to Luxembourg's growing scene. “We're trying to create a safe, accessible space where people can find their voice and their funny,” said Jess. While many women begin their comedy journey through Festrogen's workshops, organisers hope to see more take the stage. “It's daunting, but you survive. And when you bomb, there's always someone there to say, ‘You did great,'” Jess said. The festival also features performances, from a sketch comedy show titled Massive Mouthy Broads, to a gala headlined by Festrogen founders and international acts. The events are open to all, though the ethos remains clearly feminist. Festrogen continues to be more than a comedy festival—it's a space for empowerment, expression, and solidarity through laughter. For more information, visit festrogenfestival.com We are giving away 2 tickets to your choice of performance at the festival, if you would like to win them message us on WhatsApp on +352 691 353 599

Marc and Joelle from Rotondes joined the Breakfast Show to discuss the upcoming PICelectroNIC festival, happening on Sunday, April 27th, in Bonnevoie, Luxembourg. PICelectroNIC is a family-friendly music festival known for its tagline: “For headbanging kids and grooving parents.” It's been running for several editions and this year introduces Mini PICelectroNIC with the event taking place outdoors for the first time, embracing the public park space and local neighbourhood collaboration. The festival offers a vibrant program of music, installations, performances, and interactive activities, tailored for children while remaining engaging for adults. The lineup includes DJs, electronic music artists, and surprise pop-up acts like a trumpet player performing in various spots. Artists who typically perform for adult audiences adapt their sets for younger crowds, creating unique and spontaneous experiences. Workshops play a big part in the event, allowing children to build instruments and even perform, shifting them from passive viewers to active participants. Marc and Joelle emphasised how inspiring it is to see children enthusiastically engage by dancing, headbanging, and even trying to storm the stage! This year's shift to an outdoor format adds a fresh layer of excitement and challenge, but it also opens doors to more community interaction and playful surprise moments, like discovering music in a neighbour's garden. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with free entry. The organisers hope to inspire creativity in young attendees while offering a good time for parents too.

At Coachella, Circle Jerks' frontman Keith Morris called for an “army of Luigis,” while folk singer Jesse Welles is selling out venues with his Luigi-inspired song “United Healthcare.” Nancy and Sarah talk about anti-heroes, the politics of protest music, the catharsis of Netflix, and why our culture has a hard-on for murderers.Also discussed:* Would you go to space?* Why wasn't Oprah on that flight?* Nancy's Circle Jerks encounter* Sarah eats two-week old steak.

The increase would raise mailing service prices by about 7.4%. The USPS says the hike is necessary for financial stability, continuing a trend of rate increases under former Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who warned customers to expect “uncomfortable” pricing adjustments after a decade of flawed pricing models.

Trump Lobs Energy Bomb at EU EU leaders face a dire choice with no consensus. Germany and France advocate talks, aiming to lessen Trump's demands—perhaps by partly meeting his energy terms—to avert disaster. They dread export slumps, factory closures, and a downturn worse than past crises, clinging to a fragile hope of stability. The EU Commission's pleas for cohesion fall flat amid the clash. Ireland and Luxembourg brace for export losses, while Italy and Spain eye energy price hikes that could spark unrest. The European Central Bank, hampered by debt and limited options, stands by anxiously.

À l'heure du retour de la guerre, « il faut relancer le projet d'une armée européenne et en débattre » nous dit l'ancien officier français et chroniqueur de guerre Guillaume Ancel tandis que l'historien spécialiste de la Première Guerre mondiale et des violences extrêmes Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau s'approche toujours plus près de l'expérience combattante à travers les objets de l'Historial de Péronne… Une approche intelligente et sensible de la guerre ou bien une banalisation du fait guerrier ?

Some cars aren't just vehicles, they are time machines. They take us back to an era of elegance. Roaring engines and design that makes you stop and stare. On Sunday, April 21st, car lovers, collectors and the simply curious will gather at the ACL Karting in Mondercange to celebrate vintage automotive beauty. Whether you're here to buy, sell or just admire. This is the ultimate fare for classic car enthusiasts in Luxembourg and those who just want to be taken into the past for a few hours. Step into a world where automotive history comes to life. You might come across stunning icons like the Ford Mustang, the Volkswagen Beetle, or even a Jaguar E-Type gleaming under the sunlight. If you're looking to buy a classic, this is your chance to see these legends up close. Chat with passionate owners and maybe even drive home with a piece of history. And if you have a vintage beauty of your own, this is the perfect opportunity to put it on the market and find a new owner. But the old timer market isn't just about transactions, it's about passion. These old timers are pieces of art crafted in an era where cars had souls, intricate details in their interiors, chrome finishes polished to perfection. And that magical dedication to creating a masterpiece on wheels. Some things just aren't made like they used to be. And if there is one thing that has changed, it's the way cars feel. Modern models might be packed with technology, but there is something special about the charm and character of these vintage classics. They were built with soul, designed to turn heads and crafted to last the old time. A market is a chance to step into that golden era where every car has a story. Every curve was designed with intention, and every enthusiast has a tale to tell. Whether you're a walking Encyclopaedia of Classic Engines or just someone who appreciates a beautiful ride, this event is for you. So if you're ready to take a trip through time, join us for the Oldtimermaart. Mark your calendars on Sunday, April 21st. The event takes place at the ACL Karting in Mondercange from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.. It's a day to celebrate timeless machines, unforgettable stories and a love of the open road.

A powerful new translation is bringing Luxembourg and Ukraine closer through literature. Iryna, a member of the LUkraine asbl, shared details about Das Karussell von Odessa, a moving poetry collection by German-language author Pit Hoerold which has now been translated into Ukrainian for the first time. The new translation will be presented at Luxembourg's LiteraTour festival in Bettembourg on 23rd April, the collection captures the emotional reality of the war in Ukraine through a series of poetic testimonies. Though Hoerold has never set foot in Ukraine, his ability to channel the voices of mothers, soldiers, and ordinary citizens living through conflict stunned readers. “He could feel more than politicians,” Iryna remarked. “It's like he became Ukrainian through his words.” The Ukrainian translation is being released just in time for a public presentation at the LiteraTour literary festival in Bettembourg on 23rd April. The project was made possible through collaboration with the the College of Alderman of the Commune Bettembourg and generous support from Hoerold himself, who donated the translation rights as a gesture of solidarity. The translation was handled by Yevgeniya Inozemtseva, a Ukrainian linguist from a family of translators and edited by Iryna herself. “It was hard not to cry while working on it,” she shared, highlighting how deeply the poems resonated. One piece even targets Vladimir Putin with biting satire written in multiple languages, which is a reflection of the book's multilingual and multicultural depth. Beyond Ukraine's pain, the collection also offers a look at Luxembourg's cultural context, drawing parallels with historic battles and reflecting on shared European history. “It's not just a Ukrainian story,” said Iryna, “it's a story of people, of humanity.”

Fans of science fiction, fantasy, and horror are converging once again as LuxCon opens its doors this weekend in Luxembourg. Long-time organiser of the event Gérard shared his excitement and a sneak peek at what attendees can expect from this beloved pop culture celebration. LuxCon, now in its 12th official year, has grown from a passion project into a major annual event. For Gérard, the convention is all about bringing together people to celebrate and share their fandoms. He compares fandom apparel to sports shirts, as a visible badge of shared identity. Whether it's Star Trek, Star Wars, or Babylon 5, everyone has a place. This year's convention boasts a packed program: roundtable discussions, board games, an artist alley, and literary presentations. Notable guests include award-winning author and illustrator Ursula Vernon (aka T. Kingfisher), podcast creators Alyssa Stewart and Margaret Canner from The Magnus Archives, and RPG designer Jason Durall of Call of Cthulhu and Dune fame. Cosplay remains a major draw, with high-level craftsmanship on full display. From seasoned crafters to first-time creators, the event welcomes all, costume or not. LuxCon continues to expand with its inclusive, DIY ethos. “If something's missing, we invite people to help make it happen next year,” said Gérard, reflecting on the organic growth of the event. Tickets are available at the door for €5 per day or €9 for the weekend. The full schedule, guest list, and FAQs are at luxcon.lu. With geek karaoke, a pub quiz, and more planned, LuxCon 2025 is set to be unforgettable.

Et gi vill Grënn, fir eng Psychotherapie-Sëtzung per Videokonferenz ofhalen ze wëllen: Et ass een*t a senger Mobilitéit ageschränkt, et huet een*t eng ustiechend Krankheet oder sëtzt esou déif an enger Depressioun oder Angschtstéierung, datt een*t grad net virun d’Dier kann. Egal wéi: Dacks sinn et déi Krisemomenter, wou et besonnesch wichteg wier, fir Therapie kënnen an Usproch ze huelen. Mä zu Lëtzebuerg ginn dës Online-Sëtzungen net vun der Gesondheetskeess CNS rembourséiert. An dat, obwuel sech am Fong jiddereen – Psychotherapeut*innen, Patient*innen, CNS a Gesondheetsministère – eens ass, datt dat sënnvoll wier. Wisou ass dat esou?

Yvette's stay at the Pont Royal Hotel, a former “writer's residence” turned hotel and later expanded to its impressive destination status, was enhanced by her opportunity to interview the general manager, Frederic Legallois.    The hotel is located on the Left Bank of the Seine River, where artists and intellectuals of the early and mid-20th century held court on café terraces in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. This neighborhood is a postcard-perfect vision of Paris: a grand, boutique-filled boulevard; café terraces practically made for people-watching; former residences turned into hotels; antique shops and bookstores spilling out on cobblestoned squares.    Yvette enjoyed the hotel staff's attentiveness to quality service, the art on display and the jazz performance in the hotel's well-appointed bar and lounge. The hotel's proximity to museums and gardens allowed Yvette to enjoy the beautifully manicured Jardin du Luxembourg, which dates back 400 years, and the Musee d'Orsay.   The Musee d'Orsay, which was originally established with loans from the Louvre, now claims the largest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist art in the world. Taking over a former Beaux-Arts railway station along the Seine River, this Museum holds masterpieces, which Yvette had an opportunity to enjoy, like Vincent van Gogh's “The Starry Night” and Edouard Manet's “The Luncheon on the Grass” and a very special find for Yvette, the American artist's James McNeill Whistler's “Whistler Mother.”

Julien Salvia and Ludovic-Alexandre Vidal (Writers, Luxembourg 2025) - 18:23, Andrew Lippa (Big Fish, The Addams Family, Wild Party) - 34:45         This week we're talking about songwriting! In our first segment, we discuss how culture and technology have changed the collaborative model for songwriting over the years - and discuss how and why all collaborative models, even some older ones, are still relevant at Eurovision today.         Then, we talk to Julien Salvia and Ludovic-Alexandre Vidal- the songwriters behind Luxembourg's 2025 entry, "La poupée monte le son." They give us a window into their songwriting process and how it's developed over years writing for theater, and now Eurovision.         Finally, we sit down with preeminent Broadway composer, Andrew Lippa (Big Fish, The Addams Family, Wild Party) for a game that explores the differences between Eurovision and the charts. Andrew brings his songwriting expertise to bear on a number of Eurovision songs over the years- some of which were hits at the contest, while others stood out on the charts.       MAYBE THEY LIKE IT THIS WAY:     2017   Blanche, City Lights (Belgium): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbomdE81_mA     Salvador Sobral, Amar pelos dois (Portugal): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6DqfHPkKUc       2016   Jamala, 1944 (Ukraine): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCG2rw4ZXTY     Frans, If I Were Sorry (Sweden): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GTdelXRlA4       2022   Rosa Linn, Snap (Armenia): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVqGKkm7xBE    Kalush Orchestra, Stefania (Ukraine): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiEGVYOruLk       1996:   Eimear Quinn, The Voice (Ireland): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KiE1byYXtA     Gina G Ooh Ah Just A Little Bit (UK): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgN-pI1rA0E       2002   Ira Losco, 7th Wonder (Malta): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4fHMmPqC80      Marie N, I Wanna (Latvia): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M-w89U8TEU

In this conversation, Mara shares her experiences as a Portuguese living in Luxembourg, discussing the differences in cuisine, cultural attitudes, and her longing for home. She highlights the richness of Portuguese food, the lack of traditional dishes in Luxembourg, and the friendly nature of Portuguese people compared to the more reserved Luxembourgish. Mara expresses her desire to return to Portugal for university and reflects on the challenges of living in Luxembourg, including economic concerns and a sense of not fitting in. The discussion also touches on the complexities of European identity and the impact of current geopolitical issues on national sentiments.Green Ocean Global Financial Advisor: Book a call with John here - http://www.calendly.com/johnoceansgreenChoose the ExpatsEverywhere intro call and you'll get a free 15 minute call with him to see if you would like to work with him. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Tony Connelly, Europe Editor, discusses the outcome of the EU trade ministers' meeting in Luxembourg.

VOV1 - Các Bộ trưởng Thương mại của 27 nước thành viên Liên minh châu Âu (EU) đã nhóm họp tại Luxembourg. Đây là cuộc họp đầu tiên ở quy mô châu lục kể từ khi khi Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump công bố công bố mức thuế quan khiến cả thế giới sửng sốt.

C dans l'air du 7 avril 2025 - Taxe Trump: la panique socialeLa panique se propage sur les marchés financiers. Alors que les droits de douane annoncés par Donald Trump doivent entrer en vigueur ce mercredi, les principales Bourses mondiales continuent de plonger. Les places d'Asie ont encore dévissé ce lundi et le Cac 40 est passé sous le seuil des 7.000 points à la suite de l'inflexibilité affichée par le président américain. Donald Trump a en effet défendu à plusieurs reprises dimanche le déluge de droits de douane dévoilé la semaine dernière sur tous les produits importés aux Etats-Unis, tout est restant ouvert à la discussion avec les partenaires commerciaux. "Oubliez les marchés pendant une seconde", a-t-il dit aux journalistes alors que la Maison-Blanche a indiqué que 50 pays étaient prêts à négocier. Mais c'est plus facile à dire qu'à faire au vu de la débâcle des Bourses mondiales depuis jeudi dernier qui alimente les craintes d'une récession et d'un krach historique. Aux Etats-Unis, la situation donne des sueurs froides à nombre d'Américains qui sont trois foyers sur cinq à détenir des actions, en particulier les retraités dont les pensions sont en partie indexées sur les marchés. Et pour la première fois depuis le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison-Blanche, des manifestations massives se sont tenues samedi dans tout le pays. Une marée humaine rarement vue notamment à Washington où 100 000 personnes ont défilé pour exprimer leur inquiétude pour la démocratie et les conséquences des nouveaux droits de douane. De son côté, Elon Musk, le patron de Tesla qui dévisse en Bourse, a affirmé samedi espérer l'apparition d'une "zone de libre-échange" entre l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord, avec des "droits de douane nuls", lors du Congrès de la Ligue italienne anti-migrants à Florence. Il a également révélé avoir déjà "conseillé le président américain en ce sens".Mais pour l'heure, Donald Trump continue de défendre sa révolution économique et n'entend pas faire machine arrière. Il l'a réaffirmé ce lundi, reprochant une nouvelle fois aux partenaires économiques des Etats-Unis de les "piller" et qualifiant la Chine de "plus grand profiteur de tous". En conséquence, il a décidé d'imposer, dès mercredi, un taux universel de 10 % de taxe douanière sur tous les produits importés aux Etats-Unis et des taxes supplémentaires, pour plusieurs dizaines de partenaires commerciaux majeurs, notamment l'Union européenne (20 %) et la Chine (34 %).Ce à quoi Pékin a choisi de répliquer très vite en annonçant, vendredi, des taxes de 34 % sur tous les produits américains arrivant en Chine. Parallèlement, 16 entreprises américaines ont été placées sur une liste noire qui les empêchera de s'approvisionner en Chine. Le ministère chinois du Commerce a aussi annoncé des contrôles à l'exportation sur sept éléments de terres rares, y compris le gadolinium, utilisé notamment pour les IRM, et l'yttrium, dans l'électronique grand public.Tiraillés sur la stratégie à adopter, les dirigeants européens ont multiplié les contacts au cours du week-end avant une réunion ce lundi à Luxembourg des ministres du Commerce extérieur de l'UE pour préparer "la réponse européenne aux Etats-Unis". "Le monde tel qu'on le connaissait a disparu", a résumé le Premier ministre britannique Keir Starmer au sujet de cette remise en cause de l'ordre mondial du commerce. La réponse européenne peut être "extrêmement agressive", a prévenu de son côté le ministre du Commerce extérieur Laurent Saint-Martin.Alors face à la guerre commerciale de Donald Trump comment l'Union européenne doit-elle réagir ? Comment défendre nos producteurs et nos industries ? Emmanuel Macron a invité jeudi les patrons français à "suspendre" leurs investissements aux Etats-Unis. Quelles sont les entreprises françaises qui ont massivement investi dernièrement au "pays de l'Oncle Sam" ?Les experts :- Nicolas BOUZOU - Économiste – Directeur fondateur du cabinet de conseil Asterès, chroniqueur à L'Express - Nicole BACHARAN - Historienne et politologue, spécialiste des États-Unis, éditorialiste - Ouest France - Joséphine STARON - Directrice des études et des relations internationales – Synopia- Thomas PORCHER - Économiste, professeur à la Paris School of Business

Susannah Streeter, Head of Money and Markets at the financial services company Hargreaves Landown updates on the markets and Jack Power, Irish Times Europe Correspondent, discusses Tánaiste Simon Harris' emergency summit with other EU Trade Ministers in Luxembourg.

Peter Brown, Managing Director, Baggot Investment, on how US President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff plans have hammered global financial markets and Tony Connelly, Europe Editor, reports from Luxembourg where EU Trade Ministers are meeting.

Asian equities fall with the Nikkei hitting an 18-month low as China retaliates against President Trump's sweeping tariffs policies. U.S. equity futures also indicate a heavy sell-off after $5tn in market cap was wiped off the S&P 500 in just two days. Europe is also set lower today as European Union trade ministers gather in Luxembourg to discuss an appropriate tariff response. And in media news, the Trump administration is forced to extend the TikTok deadline as Beijing abandons the deal at the last moment over the last week's tariff controversy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Asian indexes fell sharply on Monday in the wake of US President Donald Trump's tariffs, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng index marking its worst day since the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Meanwhile, European trade ministers meet in Luxembourg to formulate a response – hoping for a negotiated solution but preparing to retaliate.

Les places financières dégringolent face à l'inflexibilité de Donald Trump qui a une nouvelle fois affirmé qu'il ne reviendrait pas sur sa politique de hausse des droits de douane. Des droits de douane universels de 10% qui sont appliquées depuis samedi, en attendant ceux qui seront mis en place pays par pays cette semaine. Les pays impactés ripostent en ordre dispersé : ils choisissent les représailles ou la négociation. Les représailles de la Chine sont fortes avec la mise en place de taxes de 34% sur les produits américains. L'Union Européenne peaufine sa stratégie alors que les ministres du commerce sont réunis au Luxembourg. Bruxelles veut se donner une chance de négocier, mais en cas d'échec, l'Union Européenne devrait utiliser son arsenal de défense commerciale.

Tánaiste Simon Harris will take part in an extraordinary meeting of EU Trade Ministers in Luxembourg today. Shane spoke to the Tánaiste and asked what he is expecting and what will he be saying at the meeting this morning.

Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 1,144-points this morning from last Wednesday's close, at 20,153 on turnover of 15-billion N-T as investors reacted to U-S President Donald Trump's 32-per cent tariff on goods from Taiwan. The market closed slightly higher last Wednesday when investors appeared reluctant to chase prices amid lingering concerns over the fresh round of tariffs - that were pending announcement the Trump administration at the time. First Luxembourg parliamentarian group since 2019 visits Taiwan The first group of parliamentarians from Luxembourg to visit Taiwan since 2019 has arrived in Taipei. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the delegation is being led by Stephanie Weydert and includes three fellow members of the Chamber of Deputies. The foreign ministry says the delegation will be holding talks this week with Vice Premier Cheng Li-chun, Deputy Legislative Speaker Johnny Chiang, and Deputy Foreign Minister Chen Ming-ji. They will also meet several NGOs representatives before departing on Friday. The talks are expected to focus on enhancing bilateral relations, and issues related to cross-strait relations, education, culture, and gender equality (性別平等). Three-day music festival in Kenting attracts over 1-million visitors And, Organizers of the Taiwan Music Festival in Kenting say this year's three day event attracted over 1-million visitors. The festival took place from last Thursday to Saturday. County government officials say data provided by telecom operators shows that attendance (參加) over the three-day period had exceeded 1-million. The county government says it was the third consecutive year that the total number of visitors has surpassed that number. Japan Helicopter Crash Leaves 3 Dead The Japan coast guard says a medical transport helicopter carrying a patient fell into the sea in southwestern Japan, leaving three of the six people aboard dead. The pilot, a helicopter mechanic and a nurse were rescued by the coast guard earlier in the day after they were found Sunday in the waters clinging (抓緊) to inflatable lifesavers. The bodies of the medical doctor, the patient, and her caretaker were later recovered by a Japan Air Self-Defense Force helicopter. The cause of the accident remains under investigation. US Texas 2nd Child Death from Measles A second child has died from measles-related causes in West Texas, where cases are nearing 500. AP correspondent Marcela Sanchez reports….. Pope Speaks at Sunday Mass Pope Francis has made a surprise entrance to St. Peter's Square during a special Jubilee Mass for the sick and medical workers in his first public appearance at the Vatican since leaving the hospital. The pontiff on Sunday lifted his hands to wave at the crowd that stood and applauded (鼓掌) as he was rolled unannounced to the front of the altar (聖壇) in the square. He addressed the crowd of faithful and shared his experience of being ill, and he also offered prayers for doctors, nurses and health care workers. The pope was released from Gemelli hospital March 23rd, after battling life-threatening pneumonia during a five-week hospital stay. That was the I.C.R.T.

From butterflies to birds, experts and citizen scientists unite in a shared mission to monitor and protect nature's habitats. On my show this week, we zoom in on the declining richness of Luxembourg's biodiversity and why it matters. From powerful EU projects to local volunteers counting butterflies, my guests show how citizen science can be crucial to help collect data in a clear and scientific manner. Dr. Youri Martin, Senior R&T Engineer in biodiversity at LIST, is at the heart of Luxembourg's monitoring systems. As principal investigator of the BIODIV project, Youri and his team track protected species using standardised data methods. He coordinates the Luxembourg Pollinator Monitoring Scheme, where volunteers conduct pollinator transect walks and pan trapping to observe bees, butterflies and other insects. “Consistency in data is everything. It allows us to see real trends,  and the picture is concerning.” Over 60% of butterfly mass abundance has declined in just over a decade. Citizen science has gripped John Park, who created Bee Together.  From identifying butterflies to pan-trapping pollinators, John works hands-on with LIST and is cited among contributors to the new Butterfly Atlas of Luxembourg. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not,” he quotes from The Lorax. John's work has even contributed to published research on genetic drift in insects . Joining us from Austria was Gerid Hager, a research scholar at IIASA and a key figure in the EU's FRAMEwork project and Urban ReLeaf initiative. Gerid emphasised the strength of collaborative data collection from farmers and citizens alike. “This isn't just about data, it's about community, ownership, and the cultural shift towards biodiversity-friendly agriculture.” On the birding front, Patric Lorgé, field ornithologist at natur&ëmwelt, has spent decades building Luxembourg's bird monitoring network. With over 120 volunteers, he has standardised the national tracking of bird populations and authored Vögel Luxemburgs. Patric has personally observed 283 of the 336 bird species in Luxembourg, contributing vital knowledge to EU conservation frameworks like Natura 2000. Digitally documenting this natural world is Paul Braun, Digital Curator at the National Museum of Natural History Luxembourg (MNHNL). As the Luxembourg node manager for GBIF and site manager of iNaturalist.lu, Paul promotes citizen science through technology. The iNaturalist app, he explains, allows users to photograph and identify wild species globally. "The data doesn't just sit there—it feeds into research, policy, and international conservation." The show also highlighted the upcoming City Nature Challenge, a global bioblitz encouraging everyone to document as many species as possible in their city using iNaturalist. Last year Luxembourg contributed over 9,000 observations. “This is where science becomes personal and powerful,” says Paul. So, whether you're walking transects, installing pan traps, identifying birds or just using an app in your garden, you are a vital part of Luxembourg's biodiversity mission. The data you collect today could shape conservation policy tomorrow. As Youri said, “We can't protect what we don't understand. And we can't understand what we don't observe.” https://www.list.lu/en/environment/project/biodiv-iiia/ https://www.list.lu/en/environment/project/lupoms/ https://beetogetherlux.wordpress.com/ https://iiasa.ac.at/ https://www.naturemweltasbl.lu/produit/exemple-de-produit-4/ https://www.mnhn.lu/science/2024/07/11/ferrantia-90/ https://recodo.io/ https://iiasa.ac.at/blog/sep-2023/reshaping-local-frontiers-of-farming-and-biodiversity https://www.naturemweltasbl.lu/centrale-ornithologique/ https://www.ornitho.lu/ https://www.mnhn.lu/ https://www.gbif.org/ https://inaturalist.lu/ https://www.citynaturechallenge.org/ https://www.list.lu/

Emilija Kokić, Riva, Rock Me, WINNER Yugoslavia 1989 (27:23), Jackie Cox (47:08)       This is the second episode in our two part series about Celine Dion! We pick up right after Celine's Eurovision victory, tracing her rise to global pop stardom, her experience of critical backlash, her health struggles and her recent comeback. As we do so, we discuss the parallels between Celine's ebb and flow of cultural relevance, and that of the contest that launched her.          Then we speak to Emilija Kokić, who won Eurovision the year after Celine for Yugoslavia, as the front woman of Riva, with the song Rock Me. We discuss that incredible moment in the late '80s when it felt like the world was opening up, and the difficult aftermath as Emilija launched her solo career against the back drop of war, genocide and the break-up of Yugoslavia.         Finally, we sit down with Jackie Cox (RuPaul's Drag Race Season 12), and explore Canadian acts at Eurovision, in a game of Tops and Bottoms that we're calling the "Not Like Us" edition. We cover everything from the code switching Canadians are often forced to do on the international stage, to the threat the country now faces from Donald Trump.         TOPS AND BOTTOMS: NOT LIKE US EDITION       Sherisse Laurence, L'amour de ma vie (Luxembourg, 1986):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTyzJSnLv3Q       Celine Dion, Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi (Switzerland 1988): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXLWfXmlXPc       Annie Cotton, Moi, tout simplement, (Switzerland, 1993): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QG-kvD7GHo       Natasha St-Pier, Je N'ai Que Mon Âme, (France, 2001): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCfqvkCEyy4       Rykka, The Last of Our Kind, (Switzerland, 2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96ENe3EYBE0       La Zarra, Evidement, (France, 2023): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWfbEFH9NvQ

"I was attracted to working with a recording from Thailand for personal reasons. I travelled there some years ago, and lived in a border town, where I volunteered helping a local NGO working with refugees from Burma I had never visited Ayutthaya and the temples, so this work is a chance to visit it in some way. I had visited some other Buddhist temples, and the places and the moods of those experiences are present to me. "In this field recording, I was initially attracted to the stick/brushing sounds, and I thought of working on a percussive composition using strokes. As it turned out I had less time than I would have needed to compose music, and I ended up working only with field recordings. I was also inspired by the voices in the recording. I cannot understand their meaning. I am guessing the setting is a ritual of some sort. But it might be a profane activity. I did a small amount of research, but not enough to enlighten me on this. I considered finding a translator to help. Finally, I chose to follow my intuition, and leave it open and uncertain for the time being. "The temples I visited in Thailand were open and welcoming places. The sound in this recording expresses this to me. It suggests the availability of the space to sacred and profane presences at once. I imagine this as an open setting which represents a welcoming and non-judgemental space. "The file I have submitted contains a blend of four field recordings. 1. The source recording. 2. A motorway joining the edge of the city (Luxembourg) 3. Inside the Cathedral Notre Dame in Luxembourg city 4. The Petruss valley: morning birdsong, Cathedral bells "Recording 3: The geographical distance I inhabit from the source location in Thailand, and the temporal distance from own experience of visiting Thailand, inspired me to make a connection from there to place where I live. I chose to visit a local sacred building; not a temple, but a religious edifice in my city: the Cathedral Notre Dame. I had hoped to stumble upon a similar kind of sound, perhaps an incidental event. I wanted to avoid any overly religious scenarios, as both soundwise and in meaning I didn't feel an interest for them in this context. As it happened, I sat in the Cathedral in the morning, and the scenario unfolded just as I had hoped. Just after I was seated and began recording, I heard footsteps approaching the prayer alcove not far from me: someone had come to light a votive candle. There was no other activity in the Cathedral at the time, so this action is well audible in detail, recorded from a distance of about five metres. "Recording 2: Before making that recording, I had been standing near a highway entrance/exit, at the edge of my city. The cars were coming evenly from both directions. Sonically rich, and apt in meaning, representing a journey in both directions, and journey makers from both orientations crossing paths, and this repeating over and over. "Recording 4: On the way to the Cathedral for recording 2, I passed through the stunning valley of the Petruss in the city centre. The birdsong in this natural setting seemed the perfect contrast to the highway I had recorded previously. The juxtaposition of these recordings isn't a sharp contrast. Both are made outdoors, and have tons of natural background ambiance. To my ear the cars and the birds are one vibration resonating in the sky, and the recordings sit with each other nicely. "These four recordings are blended together to make the following propositions: "There is a connection between distant places with shared practices (ritual), and common principles in the use of space (temple/church as place of welcome). "As a metaphor for openness and welcome of both sacred and profane modes of being in a single space, contrasting settings are juxtaposed (cars on a motorway, birds in a wooded valley). The journey between one place and another may go in both directions (cars moving in opposite directions). All the above are held in a totality, represented by nature (valley and resonance of sound, birdsong). "The single continuous recording throughout the piece is a single take inside a cathedral. It is the last track to fade out at the end. The space in this sound is the space of the observer, holding together the connections suggested in the piece. "The only audio processing used was a EQ low cut filters on the outdoor recordings. The mixing of the levels for the various fades in and out of the tracks was done with volume automation control in Logic Pro." Temple sticks at Ayutthaya reimagined by Alan Kavanagh.

We react to the Semi-Final 2 running order for Eurovision 2025. Producers have Australia's Go-Jo opening the show and Finland's Erika Vikman closing it. We ask why Montenegro is in the death slot (second position); suggest that producers wanted to spread out the riskqué sexy acts (Australia, Malta, and Finland), ; and suggest Israel benefits hugely from performing between Luxembourg and Germany.   Watch our reaction on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ANSBdl6845s?si=6cB2DOO1GBECXB6L 1.⁠ ⁠

You know what they say about the bird in the hand ... this week the bird is Buffalo Springfield's "Sit Down I Think I Love You." It's a nice jaunty tune with Stephen Stills (we think) pitchin' some clever woo at a potential beloved. And three guitarists! Lots of tasteful flourishes, with some fuzz. The second version (& the first one in the bush) is the hit version by The Mojo Men. It's like a Mississippi boat ride, or a trippy, caftan walk down Scarth Street in Regina, Saskatchewan. But most people just call it "baroque pop." The third bird is from Chicago - The Growing Concern give us a dual-woman vocal attack and a cool psychedelic arrangement - a wild solo! The fourth and final fowl is Simon Turner, who has appeared on our show before as The King of Luxembourg. This one reminds us of Lynn Redgrave's song in "Smashing Time" and the future sounds of Mike Alway's Él Records. Give us a try?

New York University journalism professor Meryl Gordon, author of "The Woman Who Knew Everyone," talks about the life of socialite and Democratic fundraiser Perle Mesta. Mesta, dubbed the "hostess with the mostest," was close to three U.S. presidents during the mid-20th century, and was known for throwing parties that brought political elites together. She served as U.S. envoy to Luxembourg following WWII, was an early activist for the Equal Rights Amendment, and was the subject of the Broadway musical and later movie, "Call Me Madam."      Learn more about your ad choices.
