Chris Bajema is the pioneer of podcasts in The Netherlands. After years of making documentaries and radio plays for broadcasting companies he finally took the step to create programs on his own. As the Man with the Microphone, traveling in an orange Ford Transit bus, he aims to discover beautiful stories. Additionally, he records scenes with a.o. actors Cecile Heuer, Leopold Witte, Marcel Hensema, Bert Kommerij en Diederik Ebbinge. Paulien Cornelisse writes a telephone dialogue for every edition.
The music of the Konrad Koselleck Big Band unites people. The leading orchestra offers its audience inspiring, adventurous and groundbreaking concerts with artistic, emotional and social relevance. With music as a connector, the big band aims to reach different audiences and cultures.
‘Sure, it’s as loud and impressive as a big band is supposed to be, but beyond that it’s a revelation to hear how serene this bunch of metal can become, how Koselleck makes use of all the dynamic possibilities of his ensemble’ (de Volkskrant).
