On the YouTube channel 1+1 — the premiere of the new season of the show “The whole country is speaking”, which is now exclusively released only in digital. The main social talk show of Ukraine has updated the format, but continues to work with topical and acute topics that have shaken the country and the world.

Every Friday at 8:00 PM on the YouTube channel 1+1, a new season of the digital show will be released. In the updated format, “The whole country is speaking” will become more intimate — the host Oleksiy Sukhanov will conduct one-on-one conversations with the heroes of the episodes.

“This is the first social talk show in Ukraine, created exclusively for YouTube. We want to talk to the audience where they are comfortable, and do it honestly, openly, without embellishment. Therefore, we are experimenting and hope that the updated format will find a response among the audience. And we will continue,” commented Danylo Shchestyuk, head of the digital projects department at 1+1 Media.

The team has prepared programs for the audience that will tell the stories of different Ukrainians who need support. The heroes of the first were Lyudmila’s family, who told Oleksiy Sukhanov about late parenthood and raising children at an age.

“Today we have such an interesting and fascinating story of a woman who is simply amazing. We strive to tell about something important, unique — something that the whole country is talking about. Exclusively in digital,” commented Oleksiy Sukhanov, the host of the project “The whole country is speaking”.
