No time? blue News summarizes for you
- Mona Vetsch was thrown into the deep end fifty times for the SRF hit show “Mona Mittendrin”, and fifty times she immersed herself in unfamiliar worlds.
- For the anniversary interview, blue News took Mona Vetsch into unfamiliar territory. While touring the city of Zurich’s succulent collection, Mona Vetsch admits to having a “natural scratchiness.” And that she found the program from the psychiatric ward particularly exciting and would have liked to have spent more time there.
Mona Vetsch is flabbergasted.
With uncertain steps she allows herself to be led to the Mythenquai bathing establishment. She wears darkened swimming goggles. “You can do the “Bet That” test with me,” says Mona Vetsch and laughs.
For the “Mona in the Middle” anniversary, Mona Vetsch from blue News is escorted into unfamiliar territory – blindfolded.
Similar to her TV show, where she doesn’t know where she’s going to end up at the beginning of the episode. The editorial team chooses the location and tells them on a piece of paper in a black box. Mona Vetsch immerses herself in the new world for three days. A shoot without preparation and without double bottom. Maximum improvisation is required.
A similar situation to the interview with blue News. A meeting in front of the Badi Mythenquai and off we go with darkened swimming goggles.
After a few meters, Mona Vetsch is allowed to take off her swimming goggles. The secret location has been reached. She can’t believe her eyes. Cacti as far as the eye can see.
The location is the surprise: one that was obviously successful. Mona Vetsch has never been to the city of Zurich’s cactus collection.
Mona Vetsch is briefly speechless because of her fascination.
During the tour, the different shapes captivate Mona Vetsch. “Look, this one looks like Gilbert Gress,” she says to a cactus with white downy hair on top.
Mona Vetsch: “I have a natural scratchiness”
SRF viewers know Mona Vetsch as an upbeat, open, approachable and down-to-earth presenter from “Mona in the Middle” or from an “Up and Away” special.
But does it also have a prickly side? “Yes, I have a natural scratchiness,” she admits as she tours the succulent collection.
Mona Vetsch also tells us which encounters from her show got under her skin the most. And where she would have liked to have spent more time on her show. The answer: “I find psychiatry extremely exciting.”
