The next "Blue Hour" with Jutta Szostak will feature a conversation with Andre Hellér under the motto "My home is the departure" from the year 2020. Where is 'Mubale'? Even as an imaginative boy, André Heller dreamed up faraway places with flags, music and landscapes. Later, 'Mubale' became the land of his inventions, and from there a direct path leads to the most important project of his life, his very real paradise garden 'Anima' in Africa. Heller says that he is a realizer of ideas. Someone who wanted to bring high energies into the world and sowed many millions of seeds. He provides information about some of his life themes and maxims. What does it mean to 'transform oneself through learning? And why is 'Mubale' a protective wall against rudeness, ruthlessness and unkindness?

The program will be broadcast on Monday, June 30, at 6 p.m., also online at www.radio-rheinwelle.de. (opens in a new tab)

The blue hour

The Blue Hour is a program on citizens' radio Rheinwelle 92.5 that has been highlighting aspects of cultural life in Wiesbaden since 2009. The program(s) can also be heard on the Internet at www.radio-rheinwelle.de and on the Blue Hour homepage at www.wiesbadener-kulturgespräche.de.

Over a hundred personalities from Wiesbaden and guests from outside the city have had their say during this time, presenting facts, expressing opinions and telling stories. Artists, cultural workers, politicians, historians, writers, cultural managers, scientists and journalists - they have dealt with a wide range of topics: Urban history and society, cultural policy, twin cities, leisure and nature, and - of course - culture in all its facets.

Many of these broadcasts from over ten years are now online and can be listened to at any time via the Wiesbadener Kulturgespräche website. The broadcasts are made by former ZDF journalist Dr. Jutta Szostak every four weeks. Over 120 of her broadcasts have now been digitized by her personally and can be listened to at any time.
