«Marktplatz Baden»

"Marktplatz Baden" took place for the thirteenth time on March 21, 2024. Almost 300 interested entrepreneurs followed the city council's invitation to an informal exchange between politics, administration and business.

During the talk, presenter Hugo Bigi interviewed Matthias Kündig, Editorial Director of "Echo der Zeit", the radio program that has been providing important background information for 80 years. He spoke grippingly about his experiences as a foreign correspondent, presenter, editor and producer. For Matthias Kündig, authenticity is the be-all and end-all in his work - especially in times of AI. It is not the technology that is central to the development of radio, but its use by people.
