Previous prize question Introducing…Louis Thörig – presenter at the Concertzender“I always listen to the Concertzender through my computer, while writing book reviews. Then I heard the Concertzender was looking for a presenter, and applied for the job. And successfully so!”
I did have some earlier media experience, and liked it a lot. I took a media training course by journalist Jan Tromp and gained some experience in radio and TV as an expert in vitamins, when I founded the Vitamine Informatiebureau. Pharmaco-chemistry After a varied career in business (until August 2011) I worked as global communications manager at IOI-Loders Croklaan in Wormerveer. It is a multinational that produces and sells derivatives of vegetable oils for the food industry. I didn’t study communication at a university or college, but learnt my communication skills at Hill & Knowlton Nederland, one of the best international agencies for strategic internal and external communication. Retirement
Want a ‘pakrammel’ (beating)?“That is the question with which I started my period as program maker at the Concertzender”, says Mariëtte Groot, who resigned as program maker on 1 April. “I guess it was in 1997, when new music editor Bart Vonk visited us at Dodorama, an experimental music venue in Rotterdam. He asked us if we were interested in making programs for the new music department of the Concertzender.”
“Dodorama became WORM in 1999”, Mariëtte continues the story. “WORM became a cultural institution, combining the functions of a stage, a music studio and a media lab. We also continued to make programs for the Concertzender. Bart Vonk, the Concertzender’s editor, was succeeded by Kees van de Wiel. And later Hessel Veldman took over from him. All this time WORM kept making programs for the Concertzender: every month an edition of my ‘Pakrammel’ and also a Radio WORM compilation by Henk Bakker.” WORM We never had a problem finding enough material: I could always delve into my own shop, the WORM-shop, where the cream of the crop of the avant-garde can be found. Radio WORM was compiled from material we received from artists performing at our stage.” New program making duo for Pakrammel » listen to the very first episode of ‘Pakrammel’ compiled by Robert Kroos and Dirk Jan Hanegraaff » listen to Radio WORM

What is the prize?.jpg)
“It all started when I did a voice test in late 2011. In January 2012 I did a workshop and presented three programs supervised by experienced colleagues, varying from classical music to jazz. Since April of this year I have been presenting programs by myself.
Flute
At the time there was no good name for the program. But at a meeting in Amsterdam Mariëtte’s colleague Kees van Huuksloot rattled a matchbox and said: “What is this? A beating!” and the program got its name.
