Eva Bester made her debut on France Culture by collaborating on a dozen of programmes. She became a journalist for the 28 minutes programme on Arte, in which she summoned writers and texts from past centuries that resonated with current events. At the same time, she wrote portraits of writers for the magazine Transfuge and joined Le grand bain on France Inter to talk about cinema classics. She then brought "forgotten literature" up to date in the programme Ouvert la nuit.
