Good Planet

When talented photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand partners with sustainable development folks, you can be sure there'll come up with an interesting communication project. Jumping on the video-blog wagon, Good Planet podcasts a project called "6 milliards d'autres", organized as a series of video portraits shot all around the world. Yann Arthus-Bertrand, most known for his photographs of the earth from the sky has filmed for two years and conducted over 3.500 interviews in 35 countries to collect unique footage of people answering basic questions about their fears, dreams, laughs... A simple but effective way to connect with others who, despite their cultural differences, have more in common with us than what we think.

Le journal du futur

French speakers will like that subsersive and clever spoof of radio news broadcast. Edited by the Manifeste Du Sous Realisme, the show sounds like what you could be listening on France Info thiry years from now. You'll hear about a world gone insane. News reporters bring to you the latest news about global warming, legal cloning, civil conflict, ruthless multinationals and ... football as it could be happening in 2036. Sarcastic, cynical, funny and well written.
