This article discusses how this social experience was presented in radio reportages, for which silence is not only a topic but also an element of the construction of the message. The reports of the Polish Radio, produced in lockdown conditions, document silence in a double perspective: the transformation of the broadcast sphere of large metropolises and the private sound space of the characters.

Experiencing silence goes beyond the individual feeling thanks to a metaphoric line through which the recorded stories gain a universal context.
