Just a quick note to any Dutch-speaking Typophiles who might be interested. I'm being interviewed this afternoon between 3 and 4 pm for Neon, a program on Radio 1 (Belgian national radio), about 50 years of Helvetica.
I hope I don't screw up! :^P
BTW I'll be proudly wearing my "Who needs Helvetica?" Hattenbach T-shirt. Figures...
Congrats, Yves! Is it a call in show? I'll dial in and throw a soft ball question.
Hahahahaha, you wish! My main concern is that in preparation of the interview I already talked for a full hour with the editor, and I only have like 10 minutes.
Yves and Helvetica! The battle of the giants!
I have 3 hours to learn Dutch ;^)
Congrats Yves (and thanks for the amazing 007 postcard).

Sounds like a Dutch treat!

I recorded the thing and an MP3-file wil be uploaded on the Magelaan website by next week.
Does it have subtitles? :-)

Well, I basically recount the history of Helvetica and try to explain why it has become so inevitable that it warranted the making of a documentary.
Were you eating Helveeta while taping the show?
