At home at Tessy Glodt

January 16, 2024

In snowy January of 2024, our team had the privilege of experiencing a slice of broadcasting history firsthand. The team met Tessy Glodt, a former member of Radio Luxembourg, a station that has left an indelible mark on generations of listeners. Tessy Glodt’s career began on January 5, 1960, at the iconic Villa Louvigny, where she devoted fifteen years to working for the German broadcaster. Her journey from the humble beginnings in the archives to a central role in the mail department symbolized her role as a bridge between the listeners and the radio producers.

Now at 82, Tessy Glodt has lots of stories from a time when the radio was a window to the wider worlds. She shared with our team her cherished trove of memories, a captivating collection of photographs, personal letters, and newspaper clippings. These artifacts not only narrate her personal journey but also echo the golden age of radio broadcasting.
