Presenters have a fundamental role in shaping how we receive the content that is delivered.Deciding who is the most suitable person for presenting a format can open up a whole field of considerations, first and foremost: How will the audience connect with the topic? Even among professional or traditional presenters, not everyone is necessarily a good match for any kind of format. Here, we go a step forward and discuss how effective the choice of non-conventional presenters was for formats that, without them, would probably esonate completely differently. From a Finnish artist who interviews other artists, to a Colombian actor who tries to engage younger audiences, a young presenter with Down Syndrome who investigates genre discrimination in football, or a journalist with a disability ho interviews a woman with a rare degenerative illness. Would these formats make sense without them?
