張政禹表示，有了兩個孩子之後，自己變得更有責任感，也學會放慢腳步面對事情。過去不論是在打擊或守備上，都容易因為太急躁而影響表現，如今則更懂得沉澱自己，一步一步處理場上的狀況。他認為，照顧孩子需要耐心，也讓自己把這份耐心帶進球場。（訪音）

職棒生涯邁入第七個球季，張政禹坦言，過去教練與學長其實給過許多提醒與建議，但當時的自己未必能完全理解。隨著經驗累積，現在回頭再看，逐漸能夠體會這些建議背後的意義，也更清楚如何運用在比賽當中。（訪音）

談到與剛進職棒時最大的不同，張政禹認為，如今打球已經不只是為了自己。從原本只需要照顧自己，到現在肩負父母、岳父岳母以及自己的家庭責任，讓他對未來有更多規劃與目標。他表示，現在做很多決定都會優先考量家庭，也希望透過自己的努力，給家人更好的生活。（訪音）

去年入選國家隊參與世界12強賽，張政禹也從中獲得不少收穫。他認為，第一次參加如此高強度的國際賽事，最大的學習是如何面對壓力。當時外界普遍不被看好，但也因為沒有太多包袱，反而能夠放手一搏。他表示，壓力一定存在，但如何把壓力轉化成動力，是自己最大的成長。（訪音）

至於本季目標，張政禹表示，希望自己能夠持續幫助球隊贏球。雖然聽起來簡單，但背後需要付出許多努力與準備。他認為，球員不可能完全避免失敗，但能夠透過細節準備，把失敗的機率降到最低。

目前味全龍持續位居聯盟前段班，張政禹表示，自己不會去想太多太遠的事情，而是專注於眼前的每一場比賽。他認為，一場比賽就是專心面對那三個小時，把當下該做的事情做好，才是最重要的事。（訪音）

最後，張政禹也感謝球迷一路以來的支持。他表示，在過去成績不理想的時候，球迷依然願意進場力挺，對球員而言都是很大的鼓勵，也希望今年能夠用更好的成績回饋球迷的支持。

協會表示，結節硬化症是一種罕見的遺傳疾病，患者可能影響腦部、心臟、肺臟、皮膚及腎臟等多個器官，過去因疾病認知不足，病友往往需要奔波於不同科別就診，面臨診斷及照護上的諸多挑戰。

四局上半，富邦悍將王念好把握機會，轟出右外野陽春全壘打，幫助球隊率先取得1比0領先。不過梅賽鍶隨後迅速回穩，未再讓富邦打線攻下分數。

賽後獲選單場MVP的梅賽鍶表示，雖然被敲出全壘打，但自己始終保持冷靜，專注面對接下來的每一個打者。他也透露，當下並不知道自己正挑戰連續34局無失分紀錄，直到退場後才得知相關紀錄，因此在投手丘上並未受到影響。（訪音）

味全龍總教練葉君璋則表示，今天的比賽內容正是球隊希望看到的樣子，只要持續按照既定策略執行，比賽結果自然會慢慢呈現。他認為味全龍今年最大的不同，就是每位球員都能在關鍵時刻展現自身價值，進而幫助球隊贏得比賽。

歐洲議會日前通過「反制跨國鎮壓：建立歐盟維護歐洲主權及民主價值之策略」決議案，針對跨國鎮壓的形式、影響及因應措施提出具體建議，呼籲歐盟及會員國加強協調合作，共同維護民主制度與基本人權。

決議案指出，中國大陸透過各類海外組織推動全面且系統性的監控、恐嚇及施壓行動，包括濫用國際刑警組織機制、對學術研究施加壓力，以及要求藝術家取消涉及臺灣等敏感議題的活動，對民主社會及言論自由造成衝擊。

外交部表示，跨國鎮壓已成為威權政體對民主國家、公民社會及海外社群的重要挑戰，不僅侵害言論自由、學術自由及人權保障，也對民主制度與社會韌性構成威脅。

外交部指出，樂見歐洲議會持續關注相關議題，並支持歐盟強化反制機制，包括在立法、受害者保護、問責及制裁等面向與理念相近國家深化合作。

外交部強調，未來將持續與歐盟及其他理念相近國家深化交流合作，透過資訊分享、民主韌性建構及反制威權脅迫等方式，共同維護自由民主價值與以規則為基礎的國際秩序。

富邦悍將總教練後藤光尊今（17）日賽前表示，目前球團已針對部分投手及野手列入觀察名單，但現階段仍在持續討論與評估中。

後藤光尊指出，從球隊現況來看，投手戰力相對較有補強需求，若選秀中有符合期待的人選，球隊當然希望能夠順利指名。不過選秀仍會以實際戰力及球隊需求為優先考量，不會為了補足人數而勉強做出選擇。

他進一步表示，目前球隊整體人數其實足夠，最大的問題並非戰力不足，而是受到傷兵影響較大。部分球員仍在復健階段，回歸時程尚需觀察，因此教練團與球團將持續討論選秀策略，希望透過選秀補強即戰力，同時兼顧球隊未來發展。

勞動部指出，今年6月19日端午節適逢星期五，若該日為勞雇雙方原約定的工作日，雇主應給予勞工休假。若經勞工同意於當天出勤，除原本工資照給外，正常工作時間8小時內須再加發一日工資；若超過8小時工作，則應依《勞動基準法》第24條規定另計加班費。

勞動部進一步說明，若端午節適逢勞工例假或休息日，雇主應於其他工作日安排補假一天。補假當天性質仍屬國定假日，工資照給；若勞工於補假日出勤，工資同樣應依法加倍發給。

此外，勞動條件及就業平等司黃琦雅司長表示，勞雇雙方可協商將國定假日與工作日對調實施，但由於涉及勞動條件變更，必須取得勞工個人同意，並明確約定調移後的休假日期。調整後，雇主仍須保障勞工應有的國定假日天數，不得藉此減少休假權益。（訪音）

勞動部提醒，端午節期間的出勤及工資給付應依規定辦理。若雇主違反相關規定，勞工可檢具相關事證，向地方勞工行政主管機關或撥打1955勞工諮詢申訴專線提出申訴，以維護自身權益。

台灣乳房醫學會理事長陳芳銘表示，早期乳癌防復發的重要性如同急診救人，必須把握治療黃金時間。他指出，目前國內每年約有三千名乳癌病友不幸死亡，若能有效防堵早期乳癌復發，將有機會進一步降低癌症死亡率，守護更多家庭。(訪音)

林口長庚紀念醫院乳房醫學中心主任郭玟伶表示，荷爾蒙陽性乳癌雖然生長較慢，但癌細胞可能進入休眠狀態，未來再度活化造成復發。尤其術後前三年是阻斷癌細胞復發的重要關鍵期，病友應與醫師討論最適合的治療策略，積極建立個人化防護計畫。

郭主任指出，即使沒有淋巴結轉移，仍可能存在復發風險，需綜合評估腫瘤分化程度等因素。近年細胞週期抑制劑等加強型輔助治療陸續獲得臨床實證支持，並被國際治療指引列為重要治療選項，可望協助病友降低復發風險、安心重返正常生活。

李慧芝表示，總預算遲遲無法完成審議，不僅使中央政府施政長期處於受限狀態，也削弱政府因應國際局勢變化、極端氣候挑戰及各類突發風險的能力。而社會福利不應成為政治算計下的犧牲品，期盼立法院儘速完成總預算審議，讓追加預算能接續辦理，讓需要幫助的國人能及早獲得政府支持。

此外，針對近期毒駕氾濫，卓榮泰表示，不能再像過去一樣只停留在書面作業，行政院已經就刑法、刑事訴訟法和陸海空軍刑法提出修正送立法院審議。未來會有更強大的法律依據在手上，賦予所有執法人員更大的安全保護。

🌏 從旅行到家中地板-蘇侯宇用生活累積靈感，在音樂裡找到自己的語言

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人吳宇凡邀請到創作歌手 蘇侯宇，一位同時擁有「歌手」與「導遊」雙重身份的創作者，分享他如何在旅程與日常之間，慢慢長出屬於自己的音樂樣貌。

✈️ 用旅行累積靈感

把世界寫進歌裡

作為一名導遊，侯宇經常在不同國家與文化之間穿梭。

對他而言，每一趟旅行，不只是帶團，
更像是在收集故事與情緒。

那些遇見的人、聽過的語言、發生的片刻，
都可能在某一天，悄悄變成一段旋律、一句歌詞。

音樂與旅程交錯，也讓他的創作多了一種流動的生命感。

🧹 最療癒的興趣竟然是 : 打掃？

節目中最讓主持人印象深刻的一段，
是侯宇分享自己的「紓壓方式」。

不是旅行，也不是創作，
而是 打掃家裡。

只要一有時間，他就會開始吸地板、拖地、洗衣服、整理空間。

整理完之後，整個人會感到非常放鬆。

這樣看似平凡的習慣，
卻也讓人看見他很真實的一面

在世界各地奔波之後，
回到生活，把自己慢慢整理好。

🌊 宜蘭的養分

同樣來自宜蘭的宇凡，與侯宇一見面就聊起家鄉的種種。

從宜蘭的風景、生活節奏，
到宜蘭高中孕育出的音樂能量

包括近年備受矚目的樂團 告五人，以及創作歌手 楊肅浩，
都讓人看見這片土地與音樂之間的連結。

而侯宇，也正在用自己的方式，
延續這份來自家鄉的創作養分。

🎶 從華語到台語

一首歌，成為轉變的起點

在上一張專輯《出口的形狀》中，侯宇主要以華語創作為主。

但當他詢問身邊的人：「哪一首歌最有印象？」時，
卻得到一個出乎意料的答案

大家最喜歡的，是唯一一首台語歌〈無你踮佇身邊〉。

這首歌，是他寫給阿嬤的作品。

也正因為這樣的回饋，
讓他開始重新思考「語言」與「情感」的關係。

於是，台語創作不再只是嘗試，
而成為他接下來音樂路上的重要方向。

🎙️ 在《凡凡凡凡欸》

看見一個很生活的創作者

從旅行、打掃，到家鄉與語言，
蘇侯宇的創作，不是刻意設計的浪漫，
而是從生活裡，一點一滴長出來的，
《唱自己的歌》用生活感以及充滿情緒的表達
譜出最真誠又動人的歌曲，歡迎到各大串流平台支持!

【凡凡凡凡欸】節目由吳宇凡主持，每周六上午11:00-12:00在漢聲調頻網首播。

2022年老盧發行了個人專輯，來到我之前的節目分享，當時聊到樂團停止活動，也是蠻感慨的。沒想到這次突然以啾吉惦惦來信說重組且發行新專輯，真的很令人驚喜！

這次帶來了成員蛋頭，一起回憶了很多往事，雖然一直離題🤣，但我很開心他們分享那些有趣的故事，那些都是青春啊~~~相信這是玩團的人都能感受到的熱血！

這張專輯《Silent Toads》其實是第一張專輯，但當時沒有發行，過了20年才重新製作，有很多以前常唱的歌曲，歌迷一定能在這張專輯中找回聽團的青春！

🎤 從白袍走向街頭——Tina楊千儀用音樂連結世界，《璀璨之愛》為公益發聲

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人吳宇凡邀請到創作歌手暨職能治療師 Tina楊千儀，分享她在醫療與音樂之間的生命選擇，以及即將登場的公益演唱會《璀璨之愛》。

🎶 卸下白袍，走進街頭

在音樂裡找到新的自己

身為精神科職能治療師的Tina，平時在醫院用專業陪伴患者，
而當她卸下白袍，走上街頭，拿起吉他，
則用音樂與世界對話。

她分享，自己其實並不是一開始就這麼有自信，
但在一次次街頭演出中，
慢慢找回與音樂的連結。

甚至可以說「是音樂，重新拯救了我。」

如今，走在街頭，已經常常能聽見她的歌聲，
也讓她更加確信，這條路值得繼續走下去。

🎧 街頭藝人制度的轉變

是機會，也是新的思考

節目中，宇凡也與Tina聊到關於「街頭藝人制度」的轉變。

過去需要考證照、通過審核，
如今只需登記，就能在街頭演出。

這樣的改變，讓更多喜歡音樂的人有機會站上街頭，
對創作者而言，是一件值得開心的事。

但同時，社會上也出現另一種聲音
對於表演品質的擔憂與討論。

Tina認為，撇除制度問題，更是一種創作者自我要求的課題。

如何在自由與品質之間找到平衡，
或許正是這個世代的街頭音樂人，需要共同面對的問題。

🎵 創作與分享

把感受唱給願意停下腳步的人

節目中，Tina也帶來自己的創作歌曲，
將一路以來的心境與轉變，透過旋律分享給大家。

她想用音樂陪伴自己，也陪伴那些願意停下腳步聆聽的人。

🎤 《璀璨之愛》公益演唱會

九位歌手，用音樂為愛集結

本集節目也特別介紹即將舉辦的公益活動

🎤 從一場誤點的火車開始——李科賜用一首歌，把思念唱給天上的父親

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人吳宇凡邀請到歌手 李科賜，不只分享新歌創作背後的故事，也一同為即將登場的公益演唱會《璀璨之愛》發聲。

🎶 一首在火車誤點時誕生的歌

意外寫下最深的思念

談到新歌〈五月二十一彼暗暝〉，科賜笑說，
自己從來沒有想過，有一天會和音樂如此靠近。

這首歌的起點，其實來自一個再日常不過的瞬間
一次火車誤點的等待時間。

在月台上，他一邊哼唱、一邊讓旋律慢慢成形，
沒想到，這段即興的片刻，最後變成了一首完整的作品。

更令人驚喜的是，歌曲在發行首週，
便登上 KKBOX 風雲榜第四名，
也讓這份創作被更多人聽見。

🌧️ 寫給父親的一首歌

把來不及說的話，留在那場雨裡

〈五月二十一彼暗暝〉是一首寫給父親的歌。

科賜在節目中分享，5/21那天晚上的故事
當他第一次聽到成品時，其實非常感動。

這首歌，承載著愛、恨、遺憾、也承載著傷感。
歌裡的情緒，不只是單純的思念，
而是愛與怨交織後，慢慢被時間沖淡的痕跡。

他說，自己現在正在學著一件事：
把那些無解的牽掛，轉化成釋懷。

也希望天上的父親，已經聽見這首歌。

🎤 《璀璨之愛》公益演唱會

為腦麻之家發聲

除了音樂創作，這一集也特別分享即將舉辦的公益活動:

從一段月台的哼唱，到一首登上排行榜的作品，
從一份對父親的思念，到一場為公益而唱的演出。

🎵 有些歌，是為了被聽見

但有些歌，是為了讓某一個人知道「我一直都在想你。」

【凡凡凡凡欸】節目由吳宇凡主持，每周六上午11:00-12:00在漢聲調頻網首播。

🎤 在舞台上說了要做到——米亞若 × 思綾 × 紀妍三人合體，《你還在不在》正式誕生！

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人吳宇凡迎來難得的三人女聲組合 : 米亞若、思綾、紀妍，現場笑聲不斷，也揭開一段從舞台承諾到音樂成真的故事。

這一切的起點，要回到去年的一場專場見面會【蔡宜軒 × 米亞若 – THIS MOMENT】

✨ 一首〈Golden〉，唱出三人的默契

當時米亞若特別邀請思綾與紀妍一同站上舞台，
合唱經典歌曲〈Golden〉。

沒想到三人的聲音一融合，
現場觀眾立刻被驚艷

「也太適合一起唱了吧！」

那一刻，不只是觀眾感受到，
三人自己也同時知道
這個組合，不只是一次性的。

🤝 舞台上的約定，真的做到了

就在那場演出當下，
三人直接在台上達成共識

「我們一定要一起做一首歌。」

而這句話，沒有停在舞台。

這一集節目主題「在舞台上，說了要做到！」
也正是這段故事最真實的寫照。

最終，這首三人共同完成的作品〈你還在不在〉正式誕生。

🎧 從創作到製作

由製作人吳志偉一手打造聲音輪廓

值得一提的是，這首歌從編曲、錄音到混音，
皆由本節目主持人 吳宇凡 親自操刀完成。

從節目主持人，到製作人角色的轉換，
也讓這次合作更具「節目誕生作品」的特殊意義。

🎶 三種聲音，一種情感

在節目訪談中，三人也分享了這次合作的過程

從「誰先開口要做歌」，
到「這首歌像什麼樣的電影」，
再到彼此聲音最迷人的地方，

每一段對話都充滿默契與笑聲。

不同個性的聲線，在這首歌裡找到平衡，
也讓〈你還在不在〉更像是一段關於「陪伴與存在」的故事。

😂 本集笑聲滿滿

最真實的姐妹感

除了音樂上的認真，
這一集節目也充滿大量歡笑與互虧時刻。

無論是錄音室裡的互動、
還是訪談中的小吐槽，

都讓人看見三人之間最自然的狀態

真的「玩在一起」的關係。

🎵 有些約定說完就散了

但她們，真的把歌做出來了。

現在，就讓我們一起聽聽
這段被完成的聲音。

【凡凡凡凡欸】節目由吳宇凡主持，每周六上午11:00-12:00在漢聲調頻網首播。

從一把吉他到一個音樂世界——王立言在《凡凡凡凡欸》把生活過成藝術

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人 吳宇凡 邀請到創作歌手 王立言，一起聊聊音樂、繪畫、旅程，以及那些藏在生命裡的故事。

對宇凡來說，立言是一位「很懂得生活的藝術家」。

他透過音樂、透過繪畫，把原本平凡的日常，變成另一種溫柔而有趣的樣子。

🎸 音樂換宿、音樂繪本

把創作變成與世界互動的方式

節目中，立言分享自己超過十年的音樂旅程。

不同於制式的創作模式，
他曾透過「音樂換宿」走進不同城市與人群，
也嘗試將歌曲與繪畫結合，創作出屬於自己和女兒的「音樂繪本」。

對他而言，創作從來不只是作品本身，
而是一種與世界交流的方法。

那些旅途中遇見的人、看過的風景，
最後都慢慢長成歌裡的模樣。

👨‍👧 最讓主持人驚豔的是

他竟然跟女兒組了一個樂團！

節目裡最讓主持人吳宇凡驚訝又感動的，
就是立言分享自己與女兒組成雙人樂團的故事。

母女一起創作、一起表演、一起站上舞台，
這樣的畫面讓宇凡忍不住直呼：「這真的太浪漫了！」

立言笑說，
和女兒合作時當然也會有火花、碰撞，
但更多的是一種「一起長大」的感覺。

音樂不只是陪伴觀眾，
也悄悄陪伴著一家人的關係。

🌙 一場比賽前的電話

改變了他對生命的理解

節目後段，立言也分享了一段深藏在心裡的故事。

幾年前的一場比賽當天，
就在準備上台前，
他接到了爸爸離開的消息。

那一刻，情緒幾乎崩潰，
但演出仍然得繼續。

他說，自己當時只能硬著頭皮走上舞台。

可是唱著唱著，
心裡卻突然出現另一個念頭：

「臥床好多年的爸爸，終於可以來現場看我表演了。」

那份悲傷，也在那一刻慢慢轉化成另一種陪伴。

☀️ 想把快樂留在世界上

經歷過人生裡的失去與低潮，
立言現在最大的願望其實很簡單:

希望可以把快樂留在世界上。

他想透過音樂，
成為大家生活中的開心果。

無論是一首歌、一場演出，
甚至一句簡單的陪伴，
都希望能讓別人的生活亮一點點。

🎙️ 在《凡凡凡凡欸》

聽見一位藝術家最真實的樣子

從〈在台11線上的你〉到〈你〉，
從旅途、家庭到生命告別，王立言的創作總帶著很深的人味。

沒有刻意放大的戲劇性，卻總能在不經意的地方，讓人突然鼻酸。

有些人用音樂表演人生而王立言比較像:

把人生，慢慢活成一首歌。

☁️ 懂天氣的瑪爾濟斯系創作者——安小博在《凡凡凡凡欸》用音樂記錄那些來不及說出口的情緒

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人 吳宇凡 邀請到有著特別稱號「瑪爾濟斯系彈唱創作歌手」的 安小博，一起聊聊創作、情緒、天氣，以及那些藏在日常裡的細小感受。

如果要用一句話形容小博，或許是「一個很單純用音樂說話的人類。」

他不擅長用許多文字描述生活，卻用身體感受世界，再細細把一切寫進歌裡。

🌦️ 有些情緒，當下其實不知道

節目裡，宇凡和安小博聊到「覺察」這件事。

談到自己的創作過程，小博笑著說：「其實寫歌當下根本不知道發生什麼事。」

因為很多時候，情緒只是經過身體，
創作者只是把那些感受誠實留下。

直到幾年後回頭再聽，才突然發現：

「原來那時候的自己正在難過。」
「原來那時候發生了這件事情。」
「原來那首歌早就偷偷記錄好了。」

讓主持人宇凡也笑說：「有時候歌不是寫給現在的自己，是寫給未來的自己看的。」

🐶 天天跟馬爾濟斯一起睡覺的創作者

除了創作世界之外，小博私下也有非常可愛的一面。

這位天天和 馬爾濟斯一起睡覺 的創作者，
把生活裡那些微不足道的小事，也當成很重要的事。

他分享著最近的日常，因為搬家的關係，所以剛好沒有床
也就剛好買了個大床墊跟著狗狗們睡在一起，觀察著自己與動物的連結
像天氣一樣，不一定轟轟烈烈，卻總會默默影響心情。

🎶 全新 EP《天氣離散學》

把天氣借給情緒，把旋律借給回憶

節目中，安小博也帶來全新 EP 《天氣離散學》。

他把天氣與情緒放在一起思考：

晴天、陰天、下雨天、忽冷忽熱，
是不是也很像人與人之間的關係？

有時候心情像午後雷陣雨，來得突然；
有時候又像陰天，安安靜靜停在心裡很久。

而這張 EP，就像一本屬於情緒的天氣預報。

用音樂，借給大家一種新的感受方式。

有些人擅長說話，而安小博比較像...把人生的天氣，慢慢唱給你聽。

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人 吳宇凡 邀請到饒舌歌手 PG LIU，展開一場關於創作、饒舌文化與自我堅持的真誠對話。

節目主題以「文字派？氛圍派？文武雙全的饒舌歌手」為核心，帶大家重新認識這位兼具情緒描寫與氛圍感的創作者。

🎧 音樂啟蒙者是瘦子 E.SO

一段鼓勵，成為繼續努力的理由

節目中，PG LIU 分享自己一路走上饒舌創作的起點。

他坦言，真正讓自己開始認真面對音樂的人，正是他的音樂啟蒙者 - 瘦子 E.SO。

當時的他鼓起勇氣，把自己的創作拿給偶像聽。
而後來，瘦子甚至曾在直播中公開勉勵他，這段影片也成為 PG 非常重要的精神支柱。

他笑說：「那段影片我每天晚上都會聽一遍。」
提醒自己，還要繼續努力下去。

🎲 饒舌歌手沒有文化習慣？

唯一怪怪的是每天出門前一定要骰骰子

談到大家對饒舌歌手的既定印象，
PG LIU 也笑著替自己「澄清」。

他表示自己其實沒有什麼不良習慣，
唯一比較奇怪的，大概就是 每天出門前一定要骰骰子。

透過骰出的數字，預測今天的運勢與狀態。

除此之外，他創作時還一定要有「薄荷棒」陪伴。
那股清涼感，彷彿能幫助靈感瞬間打開。

主持人吳宇凡聽完也笑說：「原來 PG 的 flow 是靠骰子跟薄荷棒驅動的！」

🔥 文字派？氛圍派？

PG LIU 想做的是「都要」

節目中也深入聊到「文字派」與「氛圍派」這兩種不同的饒舌風格。

PG LIU 認為，好的音樂不該只剩技巧，也不能只有情緒。

他希望自己的作品既能讓喜歡歌詞的人細細品味，
也能讓重視氛圍感的人，一聽就掉進情緒裡。

因此，他現在的創作開始更大量描寫內心、情緒與真實經歷，
讓作品變得更靠近自己。

🌌 希望在這個圈子裡

成為有辨識度的位置

從 2020 年開始發表作品至今，
PG LIU 一步一步累積自己的聲音。

節目最後，當被問到：
「希望自己在這個圈子裡，成為什麼樣的位置？」

他沒有回答「最紅」或「最強」。

而是希望能成為一個讓大家一聽就知道「這是 PG LIU」的人。

🎙️ 在《凡凡凡凡欸》

聽見一位饒舌歌手最真實的樣子

沒有刻意包裝的態度，
也沒有刻板印象中的距離感。

有的只是對創作的執著、
對偶像的感謝，
以及每天睡前還會默默打開那段影片的少年感。

🎵 有些人是被音樂改變

而 PG LIU，正在努力成為
下一個改變別人的人。

【凡凡凡凡欸】節目由吳宇凡主持，每周六上午11:00-12:00在漢聲調頻網首播。

🎙️ 用歌讓家人聽懂——郭晏琳在母語之間，唱出最深的思念與連結

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人 吳宇凡 邀請到創作歌手 郭晏琳，分享她如何在台語與客語之間，找到屬於自己的聲音，也唱出最貼近生命的情感。

💬 從「想讓阿嬤聽懂」開始的創作初心

談到為何選擇以台語創作，晏琳在節目中分享了一段最動人的起點。

她說，一開始只是很單純的希望 : 讓家人聽得懂自己在做什麼。

尤其是阿嬤。

「如果我用母語唱歌，阿嬤就可以聽懂、可以放心，也可以知道我在做什麼。」

這個看似簡單的念頭，成為她踏上台語創作的關鍵轉折。

然而，讓人遺憾的是...
在她完成第一首台語創作之前，阿嬤就先離開了。

但晏琳始終相信，阿嬤在天上一定有聽見。

甚至會笑著說 :「我有聽懂喔。」

也正是這樣的信念，讓她持續堅持用母語創作，
把思念與情感，一首一首唱下去。

🎶 在台語與客語之間，讓更多人被聽見

除了台語創作，晏琳也在節目中分享，
自己開始接觸並嘗試客語創作的契機。

這份跨語言的學習，竟然來自於音樂夥伴與身邊的人。
她希望不只是自己的家人能聽懂，
也能讓更多不同語言背景的家人，被音樂接住。

🌱 從音樂教育到創作歌手

一條慢慢長成的路

節目中也提到，晏琳擁有音樂碩士背景，
同時身為流行歌唱與單簧管教師，
長期在音樂教育與表演之間累積能量。

從學習、教學到創作，
她走的是一條不急、但很扎實的路。

而創作，是她最誠實的出口。

🎧 在《凡凡凡凡欸》

聽見一種很慢，但很真實的創作力量

郭晏琳的音樂，沒有過多包裝，
卻有一種會慢慢滲進心裡的力量。

那是一種從家人出發，
走向更多人的聲音。

🌙 有些歌，是唱給世界的

但也有些歌，是唱給一個人聽的

而郭晏琳，正在用母語
把這兩件事，做得一樣溫柔。

【凡凡凡凡欸】節目由吳宇凡主持，每周六上午11:00-12:00在漢聲調頻網首播。

2025台北喜劇節觀眾最愛票選第二名的《相聲失控》，喜劇節特別版加演場即將在5/29、5/30登場，豪哥除了來宣傳，也分享了關於臺灣相聲演員的養成。

我認識豪哥的場合其實是脫口秀，我小時候有在電視上看過相聲表演，後來也接觸到脫口秀，覺得豪哥把這兩者融合在一起很有趣，在脫口秀突然爆紅之後，很多年輕人對現場喜劇有興趣，但不知道大家知不知道相聲。

我自己接觸過各種不同的喜劇形式，希望可以介紹給大家，也一直推廣大家到現場看表演，現場看跟看YouTube真的不一樣！

🎶 把樂器變成醫療輔具！楊千儀 Tina 跨界職能治療，用音樂陪伴患者創作人生

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人 吳宇凡 邀請到身兼創作歌手與職能治療師的 楊千儀 Tina，分享她如何在醫療與音樂之間，走出一條屬於自己的療癒之路。

一位披著白袍的表演者，白天在醫院擔任精神科職能治療師，治癒病友們的心靈；夜晚卸下白袍，拿起吉他，用音樂說故事。
這樣的雙重身份，讓 Tina 的創作不只是藝術，更帶著真實而深刻的生命經驗。

🎵 當音樂走進醫療現場

讓創作成為療癒的一部分

不同於一般創作歌手，Tina 將音樂真正帶入職能治療的第一線。

她把樂器轉化為「醫療輔具」，帶著患者一起寫歌、一起演出，
讓音樂不只是被聆聽，而是被參與、被感受。

在節目中，Tina 分享，當患者透過旋律與節奏表達內心時，
那些難以言說的情緒，往往能自然地被釋放。

音樂，成為他們與世界重新連結的一種方式。

🏥 一條被支持的跨界道路

讓創意在制度中發芽

Tina 也特別提到，能夠在醫療體系中實踐音樂創作，
離不開醫院與主管的支持與信任。

在專業場域中，願意保留創意的空間，
讓她能自由地將音樂融入治療過程。

這不只是工作形式的創新，
更是一種對患者多元可能性的相信。

🎤 從單曲到專輯

慢慢走向創作者的身份

除了職能治療的實踐，Tina 也在節目中首度透露，
目前正積極籌備自己的音樂專輯。

從單純的唱歌、彈吉他，到發行單曲，
她坦言：「很難想像，創作與發行這件事真的會發生在自己身上。」

但正是這些看似微小的累積，
讓她一步步走向更完整的創作藍圖。

也邀請大家持續關注，
明年即將推出的全新作品。

🌿 在工作與音樂之間

找到價值，也找到快樂

節目前後，吳宇凡與 Tina 的交流輕鬆而真誠。
兩人都在各自的領域中努力，同時也沒有放棄對音樂的熱愛。

因為曾經被音樂陪伴過，
所以更想透過創作，去陪伴更多人。

音樂不只是夢想，
也可以是一種實踐，一種選擇，
甚至是一種讓世界變得更溫柔的力量。

🌹 當《小王子》的玫瑰變成一首歌——孟慶而在《凡凡凡凡欸》談愛與傳承

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人 吳宇凡 邀請到創作歌手 孟慶而，分享她即將推出的新作品〈小王子〉，以及這首歌背後深刻而溫柔的創作靈感。

歌曲的起點，來自世界經典文學《小王子》中的一句話：

「因為你為你的玫瑰花了那麼多時間，它才變得那麼重要」

孟慶而表示，這句話讓她重新思考「愛」的本質
不是因為珍貴才投入，而是 因為投入了時間與心意，才讓一切變得珍貴。
於是，她把這份感受寫進旋律之中，讓《小王子》的玫瑰，長成了一首歌。

👨‍👧 隔代教養的家庭故事

爺爺的教育，成為人生的啟發

節目中，孟慶而也談到自己成長背景中重要的一段記憶。
在隔代教養的家庭環境下，她的爺爺對教育有一套非常特別的堅持。

每到寒暑假，早上八點就會準時把孩子們叫起床學習，
甚至替「孟家孩子們」制定了一份必讀書單，
希望透過閱讀與學習，培養獨立思考與人格養成。

當時看似嚴格的規矩，
長大後卻成為她最深刻的養分。

孟慶而說，這樣的教育讓她一直相信一件事
人性本善，只要給予正確的養分，就會慢慢長成美好的樣子。

🎶 用音樂延續家族的理念

如今的她，把這份精神轉化成自己的使命。
透過創作與音樂，把溫暖與思考傳遞給更多人。

無論是歌手、主持人、演員或講師的身份，
她都希望透過作品與分享，
讓聽見的人在生活中找到力量與方向。

就像《小王子》裡那朵玫瑰
當你願意花時間去照顧與理解，
它就會成為生命裡最重要的存在。

✨ 新歌即將上線

邀請大家一起鎖定

節目最後，孟慶而也透露，
自己的全新歌曲即將正式上線。

在節目播出後，
也邀請聽眾持續關注她的新作品，
一起在音樂中感受那份來自《小王子》的溫柔哲學。

🎨 林雨涵在《凡凡凡凡欸》唱出《唉礙愛》的生活宇宙

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人 吳宇凡 與創作歌手 林雨涵 展開一場細膩而貼近日常的音樂對談。

而這一集的開頭，竟然是從 一碗豆花 說起。

主持人分享，在訪談前一天，他一邊聽著林雨涵的創作，一邊吃著豆花，沒想到聽著聽著，眼淚竟然就默默流了下來。

那不是刻意渲染的情緒，而是一種非常貼近生活、貼近內心的觸動。
也讓他更確定 : 林雨涵的音樂，總是把最親近的世界，毫無防備地展現在旋律裡，猝不及防地打進聽眾心裡。

💔《唉礙愛》——把情緒拆解成三種心境

節目中，雨涵也深入分享新專輯《唉礙愛》的創作概念。

「唉」是生活裡的嘆息，
「礙」是過不去的卡關，
「愛」則是即使受傷仍願意相信的力量。

整張作品像是一段段情緒的紀錄，
把過去一年走過的心境，誠實收進音樂裡。

🪽 用音樂與插畫，描繪最靠近心的距離

除了歌曲本身，專輯中每首歌也搭配她親手繪製的插畫。
當語言說不出口時，她選擇用畫面延續情緒，
讓作品成為一種「能聽也能看的情感日記」。

🧹 私底下最療癒的興趣竟然是 - 整理房間！？

節目氣氛也不只有快樂

聊到生活日常時，雨涵笑說自己其實非常享受生活與快樂，
而最紓壓的小興趣之一，竟然是 - 整理房間。

對她來說，把空間整理乾淨，
就像把情緒重新歸位，
也是創作前的重要儀式感。

🎶 新歌預告：2/26 全新單曲即將上線

除了《唉礙愛》專輯分享，
雨涵也在節目中搶先預告 2/26 將推出全新單曲。

在細細聆聽專輯之餘，也別忘了鎖定即將到來的新作品，
一起期待她下一段情緒旅程。

💝 情人節的陪伴時刻

節目播出正逢情人節，
在這個關於愛與陪伴的日子裡，

透過林雨涵溫柔而真誠的音樂，
也許有人會想起某段關係、某個人，
或只是想好好抱抱自己。推薦給大家這首歌曲  :3點14159

讓我們在她的歌聲裡 一起快快樂樂地度過

【凡凡凡凡欸】節目由吳宇凡主持，每周六上午11:00-12:00在漢聲調頻網首播。

挑戰做出自己的微笑歌曲 ft. 李林鴻 ——

《凡凡凡凡欸》從廣播出發，完成一首真正屬於從節目誕生的歌

「微笑」可以很溫暖、很叛逆，
也可以只是一抹意味深長的嘴角弧度。

從小到大，我們聽過無數首以「微笑」為名的歌曲，
但每一首，說的都是不同的人生故事。

在最新一集漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》中，主持人 吳宇凡 以 「挑戰做出自己的微笑歌曲」 為主題，帶領聽眾踏進音樂誕生的第一現場
這一次，不只是訪談，而是 從零開始做出一首歌。

🎸 音樂社工師李林鴻加入創作現場

當社工的溫度，變成旋律的力量

本集特別邀請 音樂社工師 李林鴻 來到節目。
他分享自己如何將 社工工作與音樂創作結合
在陪伴個案的過程中，看見生命的韌性、掙扎與希望，
再把這些真實故事轉化成音符與歌詞。

他說：「每個人都是不同的時區，希望透過音樂折射不同的故事，感動全世界」

而這份來自助人工作的溫度，也讓這次的創作不只是一首歌，
更像是一段真誠的陪伴練習。

🎙️ 用廣播讓大家看見音樂製作的樂趣

身跨音樂製作與廣播主持的吳宇凡，
在節目中示範如何把「廣播現場」變成「創作工作室」。

從靈感發想、和弦選擇、編曲想像、音色堆疊，
所有過程都在麥克風前即時完成，
讓聽眾親耳聽見——
一首歌，是怎麼被做出來的。

🌌 《時區折射的微笑》

把能說出口的聲音，都放進音樂裡

這首在節目中誕生的作品，取名為
《時區折射的微笑》。

從一把吉他開始，
加入鼓的節奏、宇宙感的音效、甚至聖誕節般的閃爍聲響。

只要能說出口的畫面，
都被盡可能加入到音樂裡，
讓「微笑」成為一種跨越時區與情緒的光。

🎼 節目人氣單元【帶你玩音樂】

副歌三大類型教學現場實戰

本集另一大亮點，
是《凡凡凡凡欸》固定單元 【帶你玩音樂】。

吳宇凡現場示範 副歌三大類型 的寫法，
而李林鴻也立刻把教學內容
套用到手上的旋律構想中，
讓聽眾看見 音樂教學不是理論，而是立刻實作。

於是，《時區折射的微笑》
從一段和弦 → 一句旋律 → 一個副歌 → 完整歌曲
在節目中真正 從零到有 誕生。

🎧 《時區折射的微笑》

已於各大串流平台正式發行

這不只是一集節目，而是一場「讓廣播回到創作最原始現場」的實驗。

邀請你一起收聽，感受音樂製作的樂趣、陪伴與生命的溫度。

😊 當微笑被寫進旋律，

我們就知道——音樂真的能讓世界亮一點。

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》節目中，主持人 吳宇凡 與創作歌手、作者 孫以恩 展開一場關於「創作、鬼故事與心靈感受」的深度對話。這一集節目以「來自音樂創作者的鬼故事」為主題，從日常寫作、音樂創作到聲音表演，層層揭開她一路走來的創作歷程與內心轉變。

📖 新書《我見鬼了》——

寫下那些難以說出口、卻真實存在的經驗

節目中，以恩分享了最新作品 《我見鬼了》 的創作契機。
她談到，這本書源自於自己多次「難以解釋卻清楚記得」的經歷——
與其把它們當成驚嚇，她更想把它們寫成 對人、情緒與存在的觀察紀錄。

她說，選擇用文字與聲音記錄，是因為有些東西雖然看不見，但 感受是真實的；
而書中的每一篇故事，都是在尊重與好奇之間找到的平衡。

🎵 一首歌，一段心事〈你能聽見我嗎？〉

節目也播放了她的單曲 〈你能聽見我嗎？〉
這首歌誕生於某次情緒深刻的時刻，
她希望讓那些覺得自己「被忽略、被看不見」的人，
在音樂裡找到一個能被傾聽的地方。

她分享錄音時最印象深刻的錄音體驗：
以往都是用大砲般的嗓音在唱歌，這次需要找一個柔中帶剛的平衡點，揣摩很久
那種介於真實與想像之間的距離，正是這首歌的靈魂。

🌍 從國內到跨國合作：

創作讓她看見更多面向的人

節目也回顧了她替多位國內外藝人創作的歷程。
每一次合作，都像進入不同世界：
有的歌手需要力量、有的人需要溫柔、
而她負責把那些看不見的情緒，用音符完整說出來。
把別人的故事，翻譯成聽得見的歌。

✨ 創作者的成長：

十年前與現在的她，已經是不同的人

談到現在與十年前最大的差別，以恩說：
她不再急著證明什麼，而是更願意陪情緒走長一點的路。也非常感謝 #時報出版 的大力支持，協助參與各類節目與媒體曝光，包含廣播電台、Podcast 、YT等不同平台，讓《我見鬼了》以及我的創作《你能聽見我嗎？》能被更多人看見、聽見。

未來，她也把回歸視為新的起點：
計畫持續創作專輯、聲音、音樂結合的作品，
讓不同媒介互相對話，創造出更多「被看見」的可能。

【凡凡凡凡欸】節目由吳宇凡主持，每周六上午11:00-12:00在漢聲調頻網首播。

🎤 出道十年，頇顢向前 

在漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》中，主持人 吳宇凡 邀請到出道滿十年的創作歌手 曾瑋中，帶著全新專輯《頇顢》，展開一場關於成長、遲疑與持續前進的真誠對話。

節目一開始，兩人先從生活近況聊起，說起以前曾經合作的MV故事，也讓聽眾看見舞台之外、依舊真實而溫厚的曾瑋中。

🎶 《頇顢》不是缺點，而是一種誠實的前進方式

談到新專輯名稱《頇顢》，曾瑋中坦言，這是一個他用來形容自己的詞
不是聰明快速型，而是慢慢來、常常想很多、卻依然往前走的人。
但正是這樣的性格，讓他的作品始終保有溫度與重量。

🔥 〈必巡〉爆紅之後：鬆一口氣，還是壓力更大？

當聊到讓更多人認識他的歌曲〈必巡〉，瑋中笑說，因為去年尾牙表現還不錯，再度來到年底竟然有一種期末考的感覺。
爆紅帶來肯定，也同時提醒他：每一首歌，都不能辜負聽眾的期待。

節目中後，他與宇凡也即興合唱〈必巡〉副歌，默契十足，讓現場瞬間變成小型演唱會。

💭 從〈思念你的時〉到〈愛了無著時〉：把情感寫得更靠近自己

在訪談中，曾瑋中也談到主打歌〈思念你的時〉，那是一首關於想念、關於時間慢慢流動的作品；
而親自參與作詞的〈愛了無著時〉，則來自他對感情的深層體悟——
有些愛沒有結果，卻依然真實存在過。

這些歌曲，都像他本人一樣，不急著下結論，而是誠實地陪伴情緒走完一段路。

🌱 十年之後，仍然選擇向前

節目最後，透過殘酷二選一與合作夢想的提問，曾瑋中再次展現他一貫的誠懇與踏實。
他不急著定義未來，只希望能持續寫歌、唱歌，把走過的每一步，交給時間與音樂去證明。
在《凡凡凡凡欸》，我們聽見了一個 「頇顢，卻始終向前」 的創作者。

💙 高郁婷 Kimi 在《凡凡凡凡欸》用一首〈BLUE〉寫下「安靜卻深刻」的愛

六首藍色、六種世界，節目現場完成專屬 Kimi 的 BLUE！

在最新一集漢聲廣播電台《凡凡凡凡欸》中，主持人 吳宇凡 與歌手 高郁婷 Kimi 展開了一場「藍色之旅」。節目以 〈BLUE〉 為主題，一口氣欣賞了 六首不同音樂人的〈BLUE〉
同樣的歌名，卻因曲風、情緒與視角的不同，呈現全然不同的色彩。

從 R&B 的深沈藍、到搖滾的冷冽藍、再到抒情歌手的溫柔藍，兩人邊聽邊分享感受，現場氣氛溫暖又帶點綜藝效果。

✍️ 節目最高潮：一起即興完成 Kimi 的〈BLUE〉

屬於她的「Because Love You Everyday」

在欣賞過各種詮釋後，節目迎來最浪漫的橋段
宇凡與 Kimi 在現場一起寫出屬於 Kimi 的〈BLUE〉。

從挑選和弦、旋律線，到每一句歌詞的誕生，Kimi不斷思考：「我的 BLUE 是什麼？」
最後，她用自己的語言定義了那份「藍色的愛」

「Blue，不只是藍色，而是一種安靜、溫柔、沉穩、不喧嘩卻真誠的愛。」

「是因為你，我想每天都變得更好。」

她把 BLUE 拆解成另一層意義：
B.L.U.E = Because Love You Everyday。

這份屬於 Kimi 的藍，是安靜的、內斂的、不打擾的；
是一種 默契式的喜歡 不用說出口，你懂、我懂。

💙 〈BLUE〉歌詞理念：寫給暗戀，也寫給每一個「靜靜愛著的人」

Kimi 在節目中朗讀了她寫下的歌詞，讓所有人瞬間變得安靜：

「藍色，是我把你放在心裡的位置。」

「那份喜歡不是不夠深，而是太深。」

「怕說了會破壞，所以用最溫柔的方式每天愛你一點點。」

她說，這首歌是寫給那些 不求擁有、只求對方安好 的暗戀者。
那是一種像海浪一樣的愛，無聲、持續、不求回報。

主持人宇凡聽完後直呼：「這 BLUE 是療癒系的神級告白。」

最終，Kimi 在節目裡完成了她的 BLUE (Because Love You Everyday)

一首獻給安靜、溫柔，又深刻的愛的歌

六首 BLUE，六種世界
但節目最後完成的那一首
是最屬於高郁婷的藍。

📚 最重要的一課：謝和弦談版權，給創作者最真誠的提醒

節目來到最被期待的環節-
謝和弦親自談〈夠愛〉版權風波。

他坦言，當年的合約年代環境不同，沒有人會特別強調版權重要性，因此在流程上遇到許多會被忽略的問題。

但他用最音樂人的方式作出回應：
「那我就做一個更好聽的版本給大家。」

主持人問到：「對於過去耳熟能詳的版本，會不會覺得很不捨?」
他瀟灑正面的說：
「不會，再換新的方式來突破自己 這樣很好!」

 在《凡凡凡凡欸》，謝和弦用 18 年的故事告訴大家：

The Ministry of Digital Affairs says Meta has promised to restore (恢復) thousands of social media accounts wrongly suspended (被停用 / 被停權) over the weekend, with nearly 90 percent recovered as of Wednesday afternoon.

Between 3,000 and 4,000 accounts were suspended late Sunday after a technical issue caused Meta's system to mistakenly flag users as being under 13 years old, part of a new age-verification mechanism (年齡驗證機制) the company rolled out
in May.

About 200 accounts belonged to media organizations and public figures, with thousands more belonging to individual users.

The ministry instructed Meta to restore a list of nearly 100 accounts, including those of major broadcasters and prominent political figures, by 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Meta also said its existing appeal mechanisms remain available for users whose accounts are still suspended.

The United Nations’ food agencies warn that acute hunger (嚴重飢餓) is set to worsen across 13 global hot spots in the coming months, calling for urgent action.

Around 266 million people already face high levels of acute food insecurity (糧食不安全).

The report says "Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen, and Palestine" remain the countries of greatest concern.

Nigeria and Somalia have been newly added to that category as conditions worsen and famine risks rise.

Japan's defense ministry highlights Chinese military drills around Taiwan    
發布於 2025-07-16 10:54:13
Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani highlighted Chinese drills around Taiwan yesterday in the defense white paper.

His ministry emphasized China's intensification of the drills surrounding Taiwan since last year, and they accuse Beijing of trying to isolate the DPP government.

The document points out that China has been actively increasing its military presence around Taiwan in recent years.

The report noted Beijing's large-scale drills after President Lai Ching Te's inauguration in May of last year, as well as those around National Day on October 10th.

Beijing aims to criticize the Lai administration and deter the US from deepening security ties with Taiwan, according to the report.

The PRC further aims to divide Taiwanese society and isolate the Lai government by using a dual strategy of hardline (強硬的) military action in addition to pushing to strengthen economic ties with Taiwan.

The report says that the exercises around Taiwan share three main characteristics, including combat training, propaganda orientation, and normalization.

Notably, the report emphasizes that the exercises serve as a political messaging tool for the CCP, who broadcast footage of the drills widely.

Nakatani says, Japan will reinforce its defense capabilites and respond calmly.

The premier of Alberta says she will hold a referendum next year on the energy rich province separating from Canada if citizens gather the required number of signatures on a petition.

NKorea Threatens Retaliation After US Bombers Fly Over South
發布於 2025-04-17 10:19:13
North Korea has threatened retaliation after the U.S. flew long-range bombers over South Korea during training with its forces.

The U.S. flew the B-1B bombers Tuesday during an aerial drill that Seoul said was meant to show the two countries’ deterrence (威懾) capability.

North Korea views such drills as an invasion rehearsal and is particularly sensitive to the U.S. mobilization of strategic assets such as long-range bombers, aircraft carriers and nuclear-powered submarines.

North Korea’s Defense Ministry was quoted as saying the U.S. action would inevitably hurt U.S. security and North Korea “will deter by dint of powerful force" the U.S. aggression.

North Korea often test-launches missiles in response to U.S. flyovers of B-1B bombers.

A bright object, initially appearing to be a meteorite, lit up the skies over Mexico’s capital at 3am local time.

Videos of a ball of fire shooting over the country and dissolving in a burst of light over Mexico City quickly became the fuel for memes circulating on social media.

Analysts says the rebound largely reflected the gains on the U-S markets overnight on tariff exemptions for electronics products, which resulted in Taiwanese manufacturers in the Apple supply chain staging a rally to push up the broader market.
