Major maneuvers in sight for the grid of France Inter: in addition to the passing of the torch of Laure Adler and Jérôme Garcin, two pillars of the house, other voices will change boxes, such as Léa Salamé or Charline Vanhoenacker.

Dhe faces and emblematic voices of the station are leaving, others are changing slots… The changes of the new school year are taking shape at France Inter. The point on what we know.
Jean Lebrun bows out
Producer of The march of history between 2011 and 2020 on France Inter, Jean Lebrun, 73, announces his departure from the antenna. He ends his daily column in the 13/14, The heart of the story. This figure of France Culture, who had started there at the end of the 1970s (with a column in the morning on spirituality!), had notably produced Culture matin, Pot au feu or Public works. “I want to stop the radio as much as I dread, tells us the agrégé d’histoire. But I was born at the time of the invention of Carbone 14, and it’s starting to date… I won’t miss the microphone, I already lived without it when I was a program adviser at France Culture. It’s the news that I’m addicted to, it’s what I’m going to miss. I’m used to being in constant flux, reading all day, listening nonstop. Silence will be difficult for me. » The animator would like to continue hosting public meetings at festivals, and is already sketching out book projects (” three or four “) for the start of the school year. “Historical works, a little autobiographical too. But I didn’t set out to write my radio memoirs, I don’t think my career path will fascinate the crowds! » Not so sure.

It’s over for Patrick Boucheron’s history show
When he launched himself at the microphone of France Inter last year, Patrick Boucheron explained to us that he was “motivated by concern regarding the deterioration of public debate”. We were then in the middle of the presidential campaign, and History never ceased to be invoked, twisted, manipulated, to serve the political interests of each other. On Sundays on France Inter, the program History of offered a welcome oasis of serenity where guests and member historians set the record straight: yes, talking regarding history without raising your voice, “confront the hypotheses in the calm assurance that this is done on the common basis of the method”, is possible. Above all, the professor from the Collège de France reaffirmed to us: “the historian’s knowledge is part of a regime of truth that cannot be reduced to the realm of opinion”.
We hoped for this lasting oasis; it turns out to be ephemeral: installed by the former boss of France Inter Laurence Bloch – since replaced by Adèle Van Reeth – the program will stop at the end of this second season. “The management explained its decision by budgetary reasons. The audiences were good, so the program did not seem to me to be threatened, ” confides Patrick Boucheron to Telerama. Surprised, he adds: “From the start, I have designed this program collectively, always keeping in mind the public role of the historian. For some, this program might seem moved on France Inter, because rather demanding. I think on the contrary that it plays a public service role. To propose it on the grid was a strong gesture. Removing it is certainly not trivial. » Will Inter’s schedule feature another history show in September? Solicited, the direction of the station does not wish to speak for the moment.
Laure Adler bids farewell
Some addicts to the credits of The blue Hour (the first notes of Green where, Daft Punk) and the interviews conducted by Laure Adler, Monday to Thursday at 8 p.m. on France Inter, will be in trouble. The 73-year-old producer is stopping the show on her own at the end of the season, a station representative told AFP. She received artists and intellectuals there every evening, interviewing the historian Jean-Marc Schiappa on the French Revolution; the philosopher Claire Marin on “beginnings”; the novelist Alice Zeniter for her first film, before the collapse ; or the director Alain Cavalier. The blue Hour took over in 2016 from the daily wandering mood, by Kathleen Evin (became weekly, then canceled in 2021). Laure Adler began as a secretary at France Culture in the 1970s, before producing in particular The country here or participate in the mythical magnetic nights, then to direct between 1999 and 2005 the cultural radio. From 2007 to 2015, she produced the weekly theater studio, on Inter.

Jérôme Garcin releases “The Mask and the Feather”… in 2024
End of April, Weekly Books announced another departure, this time scheduled for December 2023: that of Jérôme Garcin, 66, producer since 1989 of mask and feather — which was created in 1955 on Inter from an idea by Jean Tardieu. The show, hosted successively by the duo François-Régis Bastide-Michel Polac then by Pierre Bouteiller (and criticized in 2020 for its misogyny), will not stop for all that: the quest for a new host or a new facilitator is in progress.
Less Charline Vanhoenacker, more Matthieu Noël
On his side, The Parisian highlights several changes to come: Bruno Duvic, host of 13/14, leaving for Rome (where he will be permanent special envoy of Radio France), would be replaced by Jérôme Cadet. more unexpected, It’s us once more the hit show of Charline Vanhoenacker and her band, would go weekly, to make way for 5 p.m. Zoom zoom zen, by Matthew Noel. The station’s star comedian, on the air every day for nine years, confirmed she was losing her daily show, but said it was not ” not [sa] decision “.

Sonia Devillers in place of Léa Salamé at 7:50 a.m.
According to the daily once more, Léa Salamé and Sonia Devillers would exchange the 7:50 am interview and the 9:10 am guest. If the station refuses to comment on these modifications, arguing that the grid is still being developed, a source confirms the arrival of Sonia Devillers at 7:50 am. The journalist should transpose her style, which has proven itself at 9:10 a.m.: launched this season, the new meeting convinced listeners by giving pride of place to social witnesses, famous or unknown.
A largely redesigned antenna should therefore emerge at the start of the school year in September. Allowing Adèle Van Reeth, ex-producer of paths of philosophy, on Culture, appointed in 2022 at the head of Inter, to print its paw more widely, while the radio has a triumphant audience (7 million listeners between January and March 2023, according to Médiamétrie). Installed since 2019 in the first place of French stations, France Inter owed its success to a solid cocktail of programs concocted by Laurence Bloch, who directed it between 2014 and 2022. At the time of the renewal of the recipe, all the the challenge will be to make the effects last.
