Zeitlupe is adding an audio format to its range: with "Tonspur", the magazine for people with life experience is launching a podcast dedicated entirely to the topic of music. The editorial team was able to secure Röbi Koller, the former SRF presenter of well-known programs such as "Happy Day", as the presenter.
People and their music
Under the slogan "People and their music", Röbi Koller talks to his guests for an hour about their lives, passions and musical preferences. The concept is based on an exchange: the guests choose five pieces of music that have shaped them, while Koller brings along songs that he associates with his counterpart.
"This creates conversations between two people who both have a passion for music," explains Röbi Koller in an interview with the current issue of Zeitlupe. "Music runs through our lives like a soundtrack, which is why the podcast is called that."
Thomas Bucheli and Gülsha Adilji as the first guests
The first episode is available now and is dedicated to Thomas Bucheli, the outgoing editorial director of SRF Meteo. In the second episode, Gülsha Adilji, known as a columnist, comedian and podcaster from "Zivadiliring", among others, will be a guest.
The "Tonspur" will be published ten times a year, always at the same time as the print edition of Zeitlupe. The podcast is available via Spotify and Apple Podcasts as well as directly via the website zeitlupe.ch available.
