Morice Benin était aussi doué pour l’écriture que Léo Ferré, Brel ou Félix Leclerc. Pourtant sa carrière riche de plus de quarante albums studio s’est située dans les marges, dans les sentiers buissonniers qui lui allaient bien mieux. Une plume trempée dans de l’eau de source, pas manufacturée pour un denier. Un sens de l’observation très précis et une envie de faire le bien. Il s’intéressait aussi à l’espéranto, langue universelle trop peu reconnue. L’homme né le 21 juillet 1947 à Casablanca est mort le 19 janvier 2021 à Die dans la Drôme. West FM, le podcast lui rend hommage. Sa voix, sa darbouka mais aussi sa guitare vont me manquer terriblement. Bonne écoute, David
SUISSISSIMO présente WEST FM, LE PODCAST : MORICE BENIN
I’m David Glaser, an original and curious storyteller who has been navigating the worlds of journalism, audio creation, and digital culture since 1998. Open to ideas, people, and unexpected perspectives, I’ve built a career on listening closely and producing content that resonates, whether with a microphone, a pen, or a platform.
I began experimenting with digital production earlier than most, posting audio reports online in the late 1990s while working at Europe 2 in Paris. Since then, I’ve collaborated with several major French national radio networks, Europe 1, France Inter, RTL in Paris, RTL in New York, after cutting my teeth in local radio in Le Mans, where I truly learned the craft.
For the past decade, my work has evolved toward digital journalism, community-driven platforms, and multimedia storytelling with the RTS Foundation FONSART. I served as editor for notreHistoire.ch and currently I am a reporter for geneveMonde.ch, the pioneering public history platform about International Geneva.
Based in Lausanne, I write in French and English (and speak three other languages… let’s say “with great enthusiasm” rather than perfection). My work appears on Suississimo.com, The Swiss Music Show, and other platforms that value independence and a fresh editorial voice like The Free League on substack.
I also produce original audio content, including:
• GoWest and RoqWest, a bilingual music podcast on SoundCloud and West FM
• The Free League, a show dedicated to international basketball stories and culture
Among my personal projects, Suississimo is my editorial playground — a 100% independent space free of commercial pressure, where articles sometimes reach over 30,000 views… and sometimes don’t. And that’s exactly the beauty of it.
Starting May 1st, I’ll be fully available for new collaborations, projects, and ideas especially those that cross borders, media formats, or languages. I am training in journalism (podcast, AI, copyright…) and I teach Audio journalism at CELSA La Sorbonne in Paris. I am involved in association called Justimagine for the good of humanity and I am the stepfather of a wonderful man called Justin.
Let’s talk.
