She has one of the most beautiful voices on the radio and has a very unique way of listening and asking questions.
This year, Inês Meneses celebrates 20 years of her radio talk show “Fala Com Ela”, which was on “Radar” for many years and is now on “Antena 1”, and on a podcast. A space of excellence that is a diverse map of people in society where there is room for listening, for amazement and for the spark of the unexpected.

And because it’s not every day that two decades of a successful program are celebrated, Inês invites friends and listeners to join her on October 26th, at 6pm, for a dancing matinee at LUX to toast good conversations, where the short film “Falem com Ela”, by Bruno Ferreira, will be shown.
Whoever speaks to her knows that there will be someone in front of them with a genuine curiosity in the other person, and this is always an excellent starting point to let go of the masks, the sequins, the script, the rehearsed speech, the fakery, the noise, the ‘rococo’ and get down to the essential and the simplest and truest.

Inês doesn’t fit into formulas, nor is she limited by conventions or patterns—– but, on the other hand, she knows how few people can combine patterns in the clothes she wears with the greatest flair and elegance in the world.
Inês is also the author of the program “O Amor É”, which she has been running for a long time, on “Antena 1”, with the psychiatrist and sexologist Júlio Machado Vaz, she now moderates the podcast “Cultas e Vinho Verde”, on “Público”, and writes daily chronicles in the same newspaper every week.
Writing, in fact, is an art that has been with her for a long time. Since the time I subscribed to the haunting chronicles “O Sexo e a Cidália”, in DN.

And there are already several books in which Inês reveals herself and invites us to get to know her better, such as: “Amores Impossíveis”, “Máquina de Escribing Sentiments”, “Linhas de Valor Added”, “The heart still beats” and “Caderno de Encargos Sentimentais”. When is a novel or a book of stories due? Is it a desire or a possibility? The question remains.
Author of accurate phrases that are right on the wall, and on the tip of our tongue, such as “If you don’t reach other people’s hearts, how do you want to get anywhere?”, “love is the greatest distraction from death” or “we always return to where our cups are filled”, she is asked what is left of the girl from Vila do Conde who started doing radio at the age of 16? What would I say to you now?

And if there was a time machine, what would the meeting between the young Inês Maria who was making her debut on the radio and her daughter Maria Inês, who I think is now around that age, be like? Did you learn a lot from your daughter about the freedom of being?
What does it take to have a good conversation?
