RFI Chronicle Satirizes 24-Hour News Culture as "Radio Trottoir" in Gondwana-City
Published on 22 October 2026 at 06:48, an RFI podcast entry in the "Chronique de Mamane" series carries the title "Les chaînes d'info c'est Radio Trottoir" — roughly, news channels are mere street gossip. The item is set in the fictional Gondwana-city, where a figure identified as the Gondwanais Lambda is described as fascinated by rolling news channels. An accompanying image is credited to Studio graphique FMM and captioned "Radio Gondwana." The piece appears under RFI's podcast strand rather than as a reported news story, and the source material supplies no further detail on its argument or contributors. No exhibition, acquisition, appointment or market development is announced in the text.
