Sonia Kronlund

Sonia Kronlund is the host and creator of Les Pieds sur terre, a 30-minute daily show of reported stories, with no commentary, which has been on air on French national public radio continuously for 23 straight years. Sometimes referred to as the French This American Life, the show reaches 3,5 million listeners per month and has raised a generation of reporters and injected freshness (in the tone of voice) and inventiveness (in the angles) in public programming. Her film Nothingwood, shot in Afghanistan, was selected in the official competition of the Cannes film festival in 1917. She has just published a novel.
