Spotlight on Brittany is a radio magazine programme brought to you by volunteers from the AIKB, which attracts listeners from both the French and English-speaking communities.
Every month we explore the traditions and culture that underpin daily life in modern Brittany. Our themes change monthly and the programmes are broadcast every Wednesday and Saturday by Radio Kreiz Breizh and Radio Bro Gwened.
Theh programme contains items in French and in English, and to aid understanding we offer full transcripts - both in French and English - of every major item, so you can follow the written text at the same time as listening to the sound file.

Many of our listeners are outside Brittany – outside France indeed - listening on the internet. Please write to us at spotlightonbrittany@aikb.fr to tell us where you are and what you enjoy about our programmes.
This month, the team at Spotlight is moving in media circles. Spotlight on Brittany was shortlisted for a programme entered into the prestigious Celtic media festival, and we report on the festival which this year was held in the beautiful Irish city of Derry. Then we have a rather special interview involving the enfant terrible of the classical world – Jean-Christophe Spinosi and Katell recounts Glenmor's heroic struggle to promote the Breton language and culture. And just in case you're worried that we have become far too cultural, our own grumpy old woman on the team is having a bit of a rant about a popular fabric… And not to finish there, this month Spotlight on Brittany has also joined the viral media cult of saying hello to Jason Isaacs! |

Since the beginning of January 2011, Spotlight on Brittany have been presenting new half-hour programmes which are broadcast on RKB every Wednesday from 14h00 - 14h30, and Saturday from 12h00 - 12h30, and on RBG on Wednesdays from 14h00 – 14h30 and Sunday from 08h30 – 09h00.
We are currently working hard on creating some dynamic programmes. We are still recruiting volunteers to join this exciting project, so if you have some experience in this field, do get in touch.
