Le Nez Dehors

Le Nez Dehors is a Marseille-based cultural and civic radio magazine built around generous conversation. It listens for people in motion. Across the episodes, the show follows artists, association workers, educators, documentarians, residents, and collectives as they describe projects that are often very local and often connected to wider public questions. A segment on Théâtre de l'Oeuvre can become a conversation about a nearly century-old place preparing for major rehabilitation. A discussion at the Friche can open onto cooperative governance, European networks, and the practical work of sharing a cultural model. Another episode can move through toy libraries, play, and international association life before shifting toward Trans-Europe Hall. The show has a broad civic ear. It treats theaters, schools, workshops, rivers, festivals, and neighborhood streets as places where culture is made, tested, damaged, repaired, and argued for. Its style is measured rather than glossy. Guests are allowed to explain at length, and the framing often includes the small details that make a project real: opening dates, venues, materials, machines, costumes, residencies, access, and the people expected to show up. Music is not decoration here; it is part of the magazine rhythm, carrying the program between conversations about Mediterranean sound, documentary creation, dance, electronic traditions, and local scenes. The show also makes room for harder civic material. Episodes touch on poor school conditions, ecological disaster, fire risk, riverbank management, and the ways communities organize when institutional responses feel too distant or too cold. Even then, the tone stays conversational and grounded. Le Nez Dehors does not flatten Marseille into a postcard or a problem. It lets the city appear through practical speech: someone describing a damaged classroom, someone explaining why a plant is braided rather than ripped out, someone preparing a festival, someone selling old theater costumes before renovation. That patience is its strength. The show is for listeners who enjoy cultural radio with social texture, local specificity, and enough time for people to say how things actually happen.
