You enjoyed discovering or re-discovering the artists, researchers & personalities who challenge our view of the world through the CULTURAL PULSE 2026…
Especially for DECATHLON & its creative community, three of them accepted the challenge of being interviewed by Thibaut de Saint Maurice, philosophy researcher, founder of the Paris Podcast Festival, and radio chronicler. Thibaut invites us into the intimacy of their ateliers, their playgrounds, to question their research and creative work processes, always in line with our 3 themes: ELASTIC STABILITY, LALALIFE & REDISCOVERY.
