Jesper Baehrenz (born September 8, 1965) is a Danish radio host, television host, producer, board game developer and screenwriter. From the early 1990s he has been among Denmark’s most popular radio hosts and has developed/created and / or hosted some of Denmark's most popular radio programs. He has also been part of several TV successes and have interviewed or worked with a wide range of Danish and International superstars. He has done major solo interviews with artists like Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Whitney Houston, U2, Genesis, Smokey Robinson, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Robbie Williams and Annie Lennox. Outside broadcasting, he has maintained a creative career as a concept developer, board game producer and screenwriter, often with his wife Mette Lisby through their creative production company, VIVE Productions. ==Youth and early radio career== Jesper Baehrenz was born in Herning, Denmark, where he became part of the de-nationalization of Danish radio at age 18, in the wave of new, private, local radio start-ups in 1983. Local station Radio Herning invited him, along with four other young people, to spend 15 minutes each week to talk about a particular music genre. Baehrenz ended up having to talk about a genre he didn’t know anything about: Reggae. But this task taught him the art of research, and eventually he got more and more air time on the growing station. He spent all his time outside his high school and preliminary business school studies on producing radio, and soon became a popular radio host in the area. When Danish radio entrepreneur Glenn Lau Rentius left Copenhagen's most popular radio station, The Voice, and launched a competing station, Radio Uptown,〔:da:Radio Uptown〕 he invited then 22-year-old Jesper Baehrenz to Copenhagen to become the morning host and Program Director at the station – The youngest Program Director ever in Denmark. This combination resulted in a working day lasting from six in the morning to ten at night. Next, he hosted shows on the local TV station Kanal København, and was hired as a journalist at the monthly music magazine MIX, where he worked from 1988 to 1989. It was here that he met a popular DJ from the DR (The Danish National Broadcasting Corporation), Alex Nyborg Madsen. Baehrenz laid upon Madsen a criticism of the DR’s most youth-oriented channel, P3, stating that the station should play more top 40 hits. Alex Nyborg Madsen reciprocated this challenge by asking Baehrenz to do a better job at P3 himself. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesper Baehrenz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
