Spotlight on Brittany is a radio magazine programme brought to you by volunteers from the AIKB, which attracts listeners from both the French and English-speaking communities.
Every month we explore the traditions and culture that underpin daily life in modern Brittany. Our themes change monthly and the programmes are broadcast every Wednesday and Saturday by Radio Kreiz Breizh and Radio Bro Gwened.
Theh programme contains items in French and in English, and to aid understanding we offer full transcripts - both in French and English - of every major item, so you can follow the written text at the same time as listening to the sound file.

Many of our listeners are outside Brittany – outside France indeed - listening on the internet. Please write to us at spotlightonbrittany@aikb.fr to tell us where you are and what you enjoy about our programmes.
Although it's still officially 'winter', the mild weather put 'Spring' into our minds for this month's programme.We learn about the rather unusual bulb 'Fritillaria', meet some dogs with springy paws, wanting a walk and hoping for a home at the SPA animal refuge in Malguenac, then hear how Brittany had to 'spring into action' in both world wars. Then onto the Silver mine in Locmaria Berrien where Henry hoped to 'spring' some treasure and lastly we talk to Katell, a poet extraordinaire. We hope the programme leaves you with a spring in your step, so happy listening from all the team at Spotlight on Brittany! |
