Antonio Sala is still the most famous name of Rádio Renascença today. He hosted The Desperado for almost 20 years with Olga Cardoso and Audience Leader. Now away from the radio despite remaining an “addicted” listener, Sala reveals what he thinks of Joana Marquez’s “Extremely Unpleasant” which airs daily during the Renaissance. The conversation took place this Monday evening live on social media, on the Maluko Belez program of Rui Unas, who brought up the subject. “How are you listening to ‘Extremely Unpleasant’ today?” asked Rui Unas António Salu, living legend of Rádio Renascença, where Joana Marquez’s humor is broadcast. “There are some that I find very interesting and very cute and they are sharp and she really sticks her finger in wounds and things like that. There are others that I think of, and this is a personal opinion, where she exaggerates and sometimes unfair to certain types of approaches, people and criticism. But I think so,” replied the former announcer.
And Unas continued: “Do you think humor does not justify everything?” “I think that humor should have freedom for everything. But then he is not free from criticism from everyone who says that this humor is disgusting or this humor is uncomfortable. For example, when I had health problems and I had a certain type of illness, for a while I always thought that all this was funny, when I watched comedy programs and some comedian, for example, made fun of cancer or something in like that, I was like… But if you tell me: then are graces forbidden?”, no, they are not forbidden, but they are also not free from what I do not like and do not criticize,” said António Sala, published two books of anecdotes.
Sala believes that “extremely unpleasant” would have been “impossible” to do in the 80s or 90s, “because society itself would have refused and rejected “extremely unpleasant”, but “extremely unpleasant” already existed at that time. . remember Paulo Fernandes, the great announcer at Rádio Comercial, where he broke records,” recalled the host of Despertar, one of the most popular radio programs in Portugal.
