Radio, humour and design: Interview with \u00d2scar Dalmau<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

You can hear his inimitable voice on the radio, see him on TV from time to time, and read about his life in this interview.<\/h2>\n\n\n

In \u00d2scar Dalmau's aesthetic world nothing is casual. You will hardly ever see items from IKEA or Tiger in his house, but you will find ceramics from Sargadelos<\/a> or furniture of Joe Colombo<\/a>. If you rummage through his wardrobe, you won't see H&M shirts, but lots of tweed and vintage ties. And her Instagram<\/a> is an encyclopaedia of mid-century architecture and vinyl rarities, such as those that can be discovered in his -little updated but always up to date- blog, Phil Musical's Lounge Corner<\/a>. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Tell us about yourself and your work. Where did your vocation start? Any first memories?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I have a degree in Audiovisual Communication from the UPF. For most of my professional career I have worked daily in radio. For the past 13 seasons I have co-directed and co-presented The Competition<\/a>the leading programme in our time slot (from 12pm to 1pm). My vocation was born from some radio workshops we did in high school, when I was 16 years old. I loved the medium and it was clear to me that I would like to earn a living from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you find most satisfying about your work?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

What I find most satisfying about the work is making people laugh. After writing, rewriting and shooting a joke, to feel that people laugh is fantastic and is proof that the job is well done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your creative process like, what are your sources of inspiration, any particular music while working?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

My sources of inspiration have been the great radio comedy programmes. The ones I used to listen to when I was a child, while I was studying: El Terrat on R\u00e0dio Barcelona, Pasta Gansa, on Catalunya R\u00e0dio, Ar\u00fas con Leche on SER, Gomaespuma...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don't usually play music while I'm working because it throws me off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
