Voices of Janyl

From Irad Wiki, the free encyclopedia

Voices of Janyl is a daytime talk show on IradOne, the state broadcaster of the Irad Special Economic Zone (ISEZ), in which a studio panel and audience discuss current events and social and religious questions. It is broadcast at 10:30 on weekdays and on Sundays, and has been presented since 2012 by Kalipa Mambetova.[1]

Format

Each hour-long edition takes a single question and is discussed by a panel that usually includes a priest or a member of a religious order of the Syro-Iradi Catholic Church, a family or social expert and two guests with personal experience of the subject, together with a mainly female studio audience and telephone callers. Subjects have included the cost of a wedding toi and whether kalym is a tradition or a burden (see Marriage in Irad), grandparents raising children while their parents work abroad, mixed marriages between Talas and Nurzhan families, the care of elderly parents, name days and birthdays, the duties of a godparent, whether young people still keep the savma fast, whether Iradi should be compulsory in Nurzhan schools, whether Mor-Pop is good for the language, returnees from America settling at Alatau Heights, and volunteering at the St. Luka Community Health Mission.[1]

History

The program was first broadcast in 2004, during the territorial period. Its title refers to Janyl, the founding figure of Iradi Christianity, and the program has kept it since IradOne's own English-language programs adopted the "One" prefix in 2016. Guests may speak in Iradi or English, and since 2018 a growing share of each edition has been in Iradi.[1] A Sunday edition was added in 2016.

Reception

In the 2023 survey of the Irad Media Research Center, Voices of Janyl had one of the largest daytime audiences on IradOne, drawn mainly from women over 45 and from viewers outside Talas.[2] Ethnographers have used the program as a record of changing attitudes to marriage and family, noting that it rarely questions church teaching.[3]

Clergy have objected to some editions, including a 2017 discussion of bride kidnapping held while the Abduction for Marriage Act was before the Mejlis, in which a caller defended the practice. Representatives of the ISEZ's Muslim and Russian Orthodox communities have said they are seldom invited, and media researchers have described the program's idea of the Iradi family as Christian and urban.[4] IradOne says the panel reflects the faith of most of its viewers.
