Radio SRF 4: New politics program launched
Radio SRF 4 News is launching a new discussion program. On «Freitagsrunde,» three guests engage in lively debates each week about the week’s notable domestic political events. The hosts are Michael Bolliger and Max Akermann.
According to the press release, the discussions in the "Friday Round" focus on the work of the government and parliament in Bern. Michael Bolliger or Max Akermann, each with three guests, follow equally closely important topics in the cantons or cities, as well as speeches by associations or individuals that have caused a stir. It's all about a debate of opinions. That's why the guests in the studio are not incumbent politicians or members of parliament. What they have in common is a politically sharpened view of everyday life and a high-profile opinion on events.
In the first broadcast on Friday, January 10, 2014, at 2:30 p.m., host Michael Bolliger will welcome guests Michelle Beyeler, a political scientist at the Universities of Bern and Zurich, Christine Bühler, President of the Swiss Farmers' and Rural Women's Association, and Carlo Schmid, former CVP Council of States member from Appenzell Innerhoden.
