Fidgety cluster

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zappelduster is a radio program for children that is broadcast daily on the Antenne Brandenburg program. The main target group for the program are children between the ages of five and seven.

history

Zappelduster started in 1992 when the East German Broadcasting Corporation Brandenburg began broadcasting on Radio Brandenburg . The program was broadcast from Monday to Friday in the evening program, while the children's program on the weekend was Ratz-Batz magazine.

When Radio Brandenburg ceased broadcasting, Antenne Brandenburg took over the broadcast in 1997. Zappelduster began broadcasting daily on October 6th of that year. The children's program Ratz-Batz, which had been broadcast on the weekends until then, was discontinued.

Structure and content

Each episode of Zappelduster begins with the cry of a child: “Turn it on!” The core of the 6-minute moderated episodes is a sequel comedy story that is told from Monday to Friday. At the weekend, little fairy tales and stories are presented by children. The stories are interspersed with short contributions by the moderators and children on various topics, such as music, jobs, hobbies, animals, nature and children's games. Questions from children are also answered.

Frequently recurring characters in the sequel stories are, for example, the beautiful prince, Rapunzel , the frog prince , the kitchen boy or Frau Holle .

The end of each episode is introduced by a child's voice with the exclamation “And at the end there is a sound”, after which the announced sound is heard. This has developed into the show's well-known figurehead, Zappelduster itself is often titled with the addition “the program with the noise”.
