  • Writer Katrin Pauts shared a critical yet humorous opinion on Katrin Lust's new radio show on Kuku Raadio.
  • Pauts observed that the show's premise, allowing listeners to call in live, led to unexpected and colorful interactions.
  • She concluded that "normal people don't call the radio," suggesting the show attracted unusual participants.

Writer Katrin Pauts has offered a sharp, albeit humorous, critique of Katrin Lust's new live call-in show on Kuku Raadio. Pauts shared her thoughts on Facebook, initially finding the show's concept appealing but ultimately deeming the reality far more "colorful" than anticipated. Her assessment points to a perceived disconnect between the show's intention and its execution.

Pauts's central observation is encapsulated in her statement: "A normal person doesn't call the radio." This suggests that the live interactions featured participants who, in her view, deviated from typical listener behavior. The implication is that the show's open format may have inadvertently invited a level of discourse or personality that Pauts found noteworthy, perhaps even eccentric.

Despite Pauts's critical take, the show's host, Katrin Lust, reportedly felt the first broadcast went better than expected. This contrast highlights differing perspectives on the show's success and audience engagement. Pauts's commentary, while critical, frames the situation with a degree of wit, focusing on the perceived nature of the callers rather than a direct attack on the show's content or host.
