Le 18/19 d'Hedwige Chevrillon

Le 18/19 d'Hedwige Chevrillon is a business-news interview program built for the hour when markets, public policy, boardrooms, and geopolitical events start to collide. It is fast, formal, and unsentimental. The show works from the pressure points in the sampled episodes: a threatened escalation with Iran, an election in Hungary, oil under strain near the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic plan from an insurer, or a debate over electricity pricing. Guests are not simply invited to explain their field. They are asked what follows now. That gives the program its distinctive energy. A discussion of new space quickly becomes a conversation about military satellites, launcher capacity, European industrial scale, and investment in Ukraine. An energy segment turns from driving schools and electric cars to factory heat, long-term power contracts, storage obligations, and the cost of a delayed transition. A labor interview moves from inflation and fuel to short contracts, unemployment rules, union democracy, and the limits of crypto as wages. The show also has a strong European spine. Hungary's election is treated as a test of Viktor Orban's domestic support, but also as a problem for the European Union, NATO, Donald Trump, and Vladimir Putin. Geopolitics is not separated from economics. Iran, the Gulf states, China, Russia, oil routes, private credit, and European bank exposure all appear as parts of the same risk map. Climate is handled in similarly concrete terms, through insurance premiums, catastrophe regimes, relocation, and the prospect of areas becoming difficult to insure. The program assumes that public policy is only meaningful when it reaches contracts, invoices, balance sheets, supply chains, or legal frameworks. Its best moments come when a guest's broad claim is compressed into a practical question. How much more will protection cost? Who pays for electrification? What happens if storage targets slip? Can European deep tech scale before others dominate the market? The tone is dry and occasionally skeptical, but not detached. It is concerned with consequences. Listeners who follow economic life, European politics, industrial strategy, energy transition, and institutional risk will find a dense, current, and sharply framed program. It rewards attention. It rarely coasts.
