Dušan Tomažič, Programme Editor TV Maribor RTVS
27 years have flown by as if in a flash, that is how many years of radio and television I will have completed on April Fools' Day. But it was no joke, it was hard work, learning, applying knowledge and over time passing it on to the generations entering the RTV centre. I am not particularly fond of jokes and April Fools' Day either. The best thing is when the profession you practise is your hobby, then everything is easier and more beautiful. In the beginning you are happy if the radio offers you the opportunity to read out a birthday greeting and in an instant you are convinced that you have conquered the media world. But it is not quite like that. Slowly and gradually you try to build professionalism in all respects, for many perhaps too meticulously, but playing with the voice meant playing an instrument, I always wanted it to be without mistakes, but I soon realised that I was expecting too much of myself. Radio, where I was 'at home' for a good 20 years, is brilliant, it is intimate, it offers countless possibilities and opportunities. I do not remember not having taken advantage of the opportunity for all the genres it offers, out of curiosity and so that I would not get bored too quickly. When I got bored I sought solace in teaching others, seriously, some will say strictly, but today I am happy to say that there are many who carry within themselves and make use of part of the knowledge I passed on. But there are more paths in life and I chose television. I was friends with television even when radio was the most important thing for me, a change was needed, not to seduce the invisible crowd on the other side. I simply wanted to see it from the other side. And I did, with programmes from Jutro to Jabolko, I always enjoyed doing something Na vrtu, I also enjoyed mushroom picking for our viewers and finally drove Skozi čas to Koktajl and so that I would not be bored on Friday evening I took on Tele M as well. And just in passing I treat myself to Dnevniški obrok. Still with pleasure and great pleasure at that, but to be fair, I admit that I prefer to be hidden and where documents, nature and people of time can speak. After all, I completed my professorship in precisely these fields. And again I was lucky to lend my voice or create an interesting documentary or portrait with colleagues. There was a lot of everything outside the house too, it is just a pity that our archive does not work as well as Cobiss, then I would finish now and make a link there. But I will finish anyway, before you get tired of me, or not, despite everything one must reach the goal.
