"Feet on the ground". It is a French radio program broadcast on France Culture. Designed as a space for testimonies and life stories, “Les Pieds sur Terre” offers its listeners a dive into personal and collective experiences, singular or universal stories, reflecting the diversity and complexity of society. The topics covered are varied and can include reflections on social, cultural, political phenomena or even moments of personal life, all narrated in an immersive manner.

The show is distinguished by its particular format: rather than relying on expert comments or journalistic analyses, it favors the voices and direct stories of people affected by the themes covered. This approach gives a very human and often emotional dimension to the stories, allowing a deeper understanding of social issues through individual experiences.

“Les Pieds sur Terre” contributes to the creation of a public radio space where a voice is given to individuals from all backgrounds, thus promoting a form of participatory democracy. Listeners are invited to listen, reflect and, potentially, see the world from a different perspective through the stories shared. This approach is part of a radio tradition of reporting and sound documentary, enriching the media landscape with content that stimulates both the intellect and empathy.
