Raizing the barre, a joyful pop-up

How to start a new year with intent? On the second of January I dragged myself from my festive stupor, out of my comfort zone (home studio), loaded up the cargo bike and set up a pop-up radio show over on the other side of Amsterdam.

I also dragged BRAM RADIO host, Jesse, all the way from Leiden out of his festive stupor to join me. Bright-eyed and full of energy on the other hand, the RAIZ movement team made us right at home in their new space on Kerkstaat, complete with both a coffee bar and a workout barre. There are some places that as soon as you enter the door you feel good, a combination of aesthetics and the people there. I think Jesse felt it too, he vibed so effortlessly with founders Arthur, Gabby, and some of their instructors live on air. It was great for me to watch and listen to someone like Jesse (with extensive radio and hosting experience) working on the fly to bring out the stories from his interviewees with such authenticity and warmth. Whatever you’re covering, the key is to be sincerely interested, Jesse told me afterwards.

EXCLUSIVE CLIPS!

Arthur and Gabby shared their ‘start up’ story in the Amsterdam movement and fitness scene and how RAIZ wants to improve job security for local fitness freelancers …

 

Instructor, Marlon, shares his first, dubious yoga experience …

We did four pop-up radio shows across Amsterdam last year and we’ll be looking to do even more in 2023. Roughly one per month would be nice. I’m super keen to try out some audience participation and quiz nights or something, but ping me if you’re interested in broadcasting to Amsterdam and beyond from your very own business or organisation and we can see whatever works for you.

The Flink musician, Fenoman

OK so he’s probably not the only music artist doing Flink delivery 🚲 to pay the bills, but he’s possibly the most excited about it. Ukrainian, Igor Fenoman, joined us on BRAM RADIO to share some of his music and how he came to Amsterdam for a few days at the start of last year and ended up staying due to the outbreak of war at home. He’d already written a tribute track for Amsterdam years ago, but now with all the night-kayaking and kind people who helped him out with a place to stay, it seems he’s well and truly happy to be here. We’ll for sure try and bring Igor back on air soon because even though he tried to pack it all in 😆, he’s still got lots more local stories and music tips to share.

You can find the whole show with music tracks and notes via the link below.
