  • Interview with Carrie Hooper

    Interview with Carrie Hooper

    Today’s guest on our programme is Carrie Hooper. She was born blind, but
    that didn’t stop her from going to regular school and taking not one, not two,
    but several degrees in music and foreign languages. She discovered Romanian
    while listening to Romanian language lessons broadcast – surprise, surprise -
    by Radio Romania International’s Spanish and English departments. She soon took
    a liking to this language, which she now actually teaches alongside piano,
    voice and a number of other languages. Last summer Carrie Hooper also had the
    opportunity to visit Romania, and one of her destinations was the headquarters
    of the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Corporation. Hers is a story of perseverance
    and fortitude in the face of life’s challenges and uncertainties. But let’s
    find out more in this exclusive interview for RRI.

  • New Year’s Eve on Radio Romania International

    New Year’s Eve on Radio Romania International

    Since this is the last Sunday Show of the
    year, instead of bringing you excerpts from the best
    programmes produced by the English Service over the past week, as we usually do in this segment, we thought it would be nicer to talk to a handful of wonderful people from Romania’s cultural scene, and to ask them how 2023 treated them and what’s on their
    wish lists for 2024.

    From musicians to writers, from film directors to booking agents and more, it seems all of them share not only the wish for a more peaceful, friendlier and more beautiful world, but also the willingness to do their best to make it so.

    From all of us here at the English Service of Radio Romania International, and from all of our guests, contributors and friends, here’s to a new, amazing chapter in our lives! Have an awesome 2024 everybody, and listen to RRI, wherever you are!
