To the LimitIn the port city of Esbjerg, things moved fast as well. They relocated to Brolæggerstræde and werecrazily busy with the vocational school as well as TV production. Marianne Andersen started asschool director in 2014. Two years later she became Head of Department. Marianne points out thecomplex variety of working at Glad:“We’re a somewhat varied shop over here. We have 1700 sq. metres of TV production and mediastudies. We also have the vocational school with 30 pupils, out of which 20 spend four days a weekat Glad Zoo. We are all intertwined. And obviously, having to run a school at a zoo, while once a weekthe pupils spend a full day in here studying, and at the same time producing media content makesfor quite a special house.”The attentive reader will have noticed that Glad Zoo has joined the shop. This was in 2014 whenthe Glad Foundation bought Lintrup Safari Park. The Esbjerg branch is successful in attracting localattention. We would argue that everyone in Esbjerg knows Per Rosenberg, who has worked theresince the very beginning:“I have. I sat on the bus, and our boss at the time, Max, was on the same bus, and he asked whetherI might consider joining Glad. I was sort of kidnapped to work with TV. I worked at a special needsworkshop, but at Glad you get lots of challenges which you learn from, and you grow up.” Per laughs.He has conducted countless interviews and is like a duck to water when out amongst people. He iscurious and with his warm manners he can make anyone talk. One interview in particular made animpression on him:“Rock Nalle (a mature Danish rock’n’roller)! I interviewed him at Ribelund festival. I have beentaught that you must go right to the limit. I knew he had been through hell on drugs and enquireddeeply into the subject. Afterwards he said, ‘I have to give you a hug, Per. You asked abouteverything.’ He was happy that I actually crossed the limit a bit. And perhaps that’s because I amwho I am. People are less timid about confiding in me, so they open even more.”And this special talent for creating a room of intimacy and confidence is precisely what manyof TV-Glad’s reporters are gifted with.43
