The voice booth, in Akkini red

The booth is the smallest room in the building and the one everything else is built around. When the red light comes on, the corridor outside goes quiet.

We lit it the way it feels on air: warm, close, a little cinematic. The microphone in these frames is the one you hear on நேரலை every weekday evening.

A walk through Neugasse 60 — the console, the racks, the room where twenty-four hours of Tamil radio is put together every single day.

At the RJ desk

Scripts, request lists, cold coffee and a screen full of waveforms — the desk our presenters live at between songs.
