1 / Military chaplain  met shortly before the accidental death in Mali of the thirteen French soldiers of the Barkhane force,  Father Jean-Yves Ducourneau , who has just retired, recounts in his book  Le café du padre  " (Salvator)  his twenty -three years with soldiers in France and in Foreign Operations (Opex). A “brotherhood of arms which is also a brotherhood of tears”. (Replay of 12/01/2019).

2 / Liner parish priest for more than ten years, Father Thomas Ziegler has traveled the seas of the world as cruise liner chaplain. Every evening he took notes. His book " The boats of the ephemeral : a priest on board  " (Salvator), written with Charles Wright, is an immersion in this world of entertainment and excess. Listening to the passengers, very close to the “party convicts”, these men and women who came from poor countries to support their families, Thomas Ziegler brings us to life on all floors of these floating towns which are a concentrate of the 'humanity. (Replay of 09/15/2019)
