Podcast in English (with outro in Italian): "Tandem Tales: Multilingual Storytelling", broacast by Diffusione Fiaba on Radio Cavolo, 13/02/26; Production: Elena Asciutti, radio storyteller
On World Radio Day (13 February), Diffusione Fiaba invited its listeners to explore storytelling as a shared space where languages meet and illuminate one another – weaving tales, building identity, memory, and connection across borders.
This episode features storytellers Antje Horn (Germany) and Tom Van Mieghem (Belgium), who connect their storytelling practices to perform fairy tales in German and Dutch. A celebration of how oral stories foster understanding beyond comprehension – and how radio amplifies it amid AI evolution. Of voice, listening, and invisible communities that transcend cultures.
Fairytale
"Happy Marie", German fairytale told by Antje in German and by Tom in English, for the firs time live on a radio
