AIf one public broadcaster is ignoring young television viewers, it’s Max. Who cares if only people over 70 are watching, after we’ve had major flooding: that’s the business model. So Omroep Max presents viewers with exciting boat trips, predictable caravan adventures and pure nostalgia.
Also a weekly talk show Carrie on Fridayop broadcast in prime time from a football canteen and completely disconnected from current events, it soothed a generation closer to the grave than the cradle.
Anyone who has less of a future than a past is sensitive to nostalgia, and that’s where nostalgia comes into play Carrie on Friday in the. Since Germany Oktoberfest to celebrate, the program kicked off with a live performance of Nick Bult Band’s hits From from 1971 by singer Peter Maffay. Rocking out is a must, but audiences nostalgic for hit parades don’t mind that.

Followed by an interview with radio presenter Max Jurgen van den Berg and several friends who make Max’s podcast With buttocks exposed: menopause to make. It’s great that Van den Berg removed the possible taboo regarding male menopause – with hot flashes, lethargy and erectile dysfunction – want to break through.
It’s a shame that none of the participants knew from their own experience about the hormonal curse that could affect their generation. Everything still works fine on the podcast as well, so what are they talking about for six episodes? All right, listen.
Luckily, Ad’s expert was in the cafeteria, who spoke candidly about his extremely low testosterone levels, which his doctor had treated with a hormone overdose. ‘I wake up at night and feel like a pony in a pasture.’ Kudos to Ad, who has taken the embarrassment out of this critical issue. Nick Bult’s house band begins Forever Young in the.
It was the cheerful Ten Napel who dragged his program through its gray hairs into the boredom of the seventies. To introduce the next item, a plea for billiards and more attention to slow sports on TV, he chuckled at multiple three-cushion world champion Dick Jaspers: ‘You’re almost 60, you haven’t had menopause, have you? ?’ And: ‘Are you still having fun?’ The embarrassing tone that mocked the previous item and made Jaspers speechless.
After Jaspers, FC Utrecht coach Ron Jans (66) also had to overcome it. According to Ten Napel, a ‘very special weekend’ awaits him, as his team has to play football against his former club FC Groningen.
Not that that’s what it’s about. The friendly coach with the bright eyes was allowed to talk in detail about six of his favorite pop records (including Joy Division, Neal Casal and The Dream Syndicate).
His speech was contagious, from a distance you could hear fragments of the song being discussed. Good radio. One question about the item stuck. To keep up with the October mood in Germany: Why?
