The Voice of Andersen – A Podcast Journey

Andersen lives on – in your ears
Why do we still talk about H.C. Andersen? This is the heart of the podcast, where Radio llll and Munck Studios open a door to the life and times of the world’s most famous storyteller. Over 150 years after his death, his voice still speaks to us today.

Meet the man behind the fairy tales
Hosts Anna Juhl and author Jesper Wung-Sung take you on an immersive audio journey. Andersen isn’t just the mind behind The Little Mermaid and The Nightingale – he was a complex, driven man with ambitions, doubts, and deep human connections. In four episodes, the hosts explore how he was seen in his own time and how we view him now.

His era – and our connection to him today
This is about more than stories – it’s about the storyteller. About the people who shaped him and those he influenced. The podcast brings characters and events from his time to life and lets them speak to us in the present. Why does Andersen still matter? And what do his stories say about us?
