Edi wanted to be a professional footballer as a child. Because he didn't have any money for proper football boots, he stole some. That was the real starting point for his career as a criminal. Edi stole everything he could. Edi became a burglar. Edi became a drug dealer. Edi became a pimp. He left nothing out. And he was caught again and again. Edi knew the courtrooms like the back of his hand. He got to know the Swiss prisons all too well. All of them from the inside. But Edi was not just a burglar. Edi was also an escapee.
In six parts, each lasting 20 to 30 minutes, the new taiwan rcs data podcast series "Edi - Living on the Limit" traces the criminal career. And how. "We have broken new ground in production and storytelling," said Susanne Witzig, program developer at Radio SRF, in a persoenlich.com interview . She's right. The podcast series contains many elements that have never been heard in this combination before.
On the one hand, there is the speaker, the voice-over that guides you through the story. But much more gripping are the voices of the two SRF journalists Sabine Meyer and Patricia Banzer. The two of them researched the story. And the listener is right there in the research. You get to hear how Meyer and Banzer exchange ideas with each other. How they call each other when they have added another piece to the puzzle of the story. The idea of incorporating the research work into the podcast is brilliant.
