Jörn Hille im Gespräch mit AIDA Radio

Wer denkt, AIDAradio ist nur auf Kreuzfahrtschiffen zu hören, der irrt.
Der Sender funkt zwar in erster Linie für Reisende. Doch das Programm, eine Kooperation von AIDA Cruises mit Antenne Deutschland, geht online per Podcast überall in´s Ohr und nimmt den traditionsreichen Namen fürs Radio, "Welle", ernst.
Es bringt nicht nur sommerleichte Cruise-Musik, sondern berichtet auch über das eine oder andere rund um Schiffe, Reise und Crews.

So im Hafenschnack vom April 2024, als Radio-Macherin Theresa Pöhls sich aufmachte, den Seemannsclub Duckdalben Waltershof zu entdecken.
Denn zuweilen gehen Radio-Moderatoren noch nach guter journalistischer und guter alter Väter-Sitte dorthin, wo das Leben spielt.
Reportage nannte man das früher, was oft leider zum Fremdwort geworden ist, weil die Zeit fehlt. Das war im DUCKDALBEN nicht der Fall.

Über zwei Stunden machte sich Theresa im Club schlau - und daraus eine 21-Minuten-Sendung. Hier, wo „ganz viel Menschlichkeit und Nächstenlie-be“(Theresa) in jeder Ecke des Clubs zu merken ist, interviewte sie den Clubleiter Jörn Hille.

Mission

As a sailor's mission, we are sent to show in our words and deeds that the love of God is present and also revealed in the human for and with each other. We are committed to the works of Christian charity and responsibility for all human beings and the one world in which we live. By proclaiming our Christian faith, we want to be recognizable. We respect the beliefs and religions of sailors from other cultures. Seemannsmission is especially pastoral care. We understand pastoral care holistically as a concern for body and soul. What pleases, facilitates, encourages and liberates people leads us in our diaconal action.

Job

The German Seemans Mission is supported by the work of dedicated staff and volunteers. We welcome seafarers into over 35 ports around the world, taking time for talks and joint activities, offering them practical help and orientation abroad. The spirit of our facilities is characterized by enjoyment of work, openness, honesty and friendliness towards the guests. We are rooted in the Christian faith and our church, live and work in close bond within the German Seemans Mission in solidarity with the seafarers.
