Best of World Radio Paris (WRP)

This Month, Ian Callen and his team reflect on the theme of Trains.

A music-led conversation exploring the ideas, experiences and topics that shape our lives. Each episode focuses on a different theme, from education, cinema and daily routines to life in Paris and personal growth, with a soundtrack that brings the discussion to life. Through music, stories and interviews, the show connects songs to the issues and experiences they reflect.

Episode 1: Change

Change is something everyone experiences, whether chosen or unexpected. In this first episode, we explore how people navigate moments of transition, uncertainty and growth. Featuring music from artists including The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, The Verve, etc., we reflect on the emotions that accompany change and how music can help us make sense of it. We also speak with Fanny, a manager at HEC Paris, about her thoughts on change in both personal and professional life.

In this episode of Turning Points, Patricia Killeen speaks with Shellie Karabell and Elaine

Cobbe. Shellie is the Editor-in-Chief of Reporting From Paris, and Elaine is its Deputy

Editor.

Reporting From Paris is a free monthly online news magazine produced by journalists from

the Anglo-American Press Association in Paris. It is aimed at a global English-speaking

audience with an affinity for Paris and a desire for more than tourist tips and pretty pictures.

The publication offers in-depth reporting, analysis, and commentary on the issues shaping

France, Europe, and the wider world.

Shellie and Elaine believe that the future of journalism lies online. While many journalists

have already launched their own bespoke digital platforms, Shellie maintains that solo

ventures can only go so far. By bringing experienced journalists together under one banner,

there is more to be gained for journalists, readers, and the future of quality journalism.

Reporting From Paris seeks to harness the technical and distribution advantages of digital

media to deliver real news and insightful analysis from professional journalists.

Shellie Karabell has spent more than 40 years in broadcast journalism as a news executive,

anchor, producer, and field reporter in her native United States, across Europe, in the former

Soviet Union/Russia, and in the Middle East. She has worked for ABC/WTN, PBS, Dow

Jones Broadcast, CNBC, and Forbes.com, covering many of the major news events of the late

twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. She currently serves as Vice-President of the

Anglo-American Press Association of Paris.

Elaine Cobbe is an award-winning print and broadcast journalist based in Paris. A former

foreign correspondent for CBS News, she has covered many of the major international stories

of the past three decades. A regular commentator on French and international politics for

news outlets in France and her native Ireland, she is also a researcher and trainer in journalism

and trauma. Elaine also serves on the committee of the Anglo-American Press Association of

Paris.

In this episode of “Holistic Being and Doing”, Eileen Jackson welcomed artists Aurélia BIRE and her daugher Raphaëlle to speak about the vital role of art in their lives. After graduating business school in Paris, Aurélia BIRE built a successful career in consulting and finance until she came to a threshold moment and she took a leap of faith. She resigned from her position in order to go back to school to study art, design and architecture. In 2004, she set out on a new career path in interior design in London. Then in 2017, she launched her own design firm in Paris, Via Aurélia, that focuses on furniture design, art objects and spaces. In her holistic art approach, she reinvents how things are done, allowing for more attention on the individual, their story, projects and dreams.
