Eugénie Lépine-Blondeau is a bilingual host, columnist and cultural reporter living in Montreal.
After studying classical music and opera, she earned a master degree in political science. Although she quit signing, her passion for the voices never left her, and she reconnects with her instrument, first to host a feminist and queer program on the airwaves of CISM - the radio of the students of the Université de Montréal, and then to join Radio-Canada as a researcher, then as a columnist and host.
Since 2019, Eugénie is the cultural voice of Tout un matin, Ici Première’s morning show in Montréal, hosted by Patrick Masbourian. She is often entrusted with hosting specials such as: 2021, en supplémentaire (December 2021) C'est ma tournée - l’hebdo (summer 2021), Femmes de la situation (March 2021), Carte blanche à Eugénie Lépine-Blondeau (January 2021), Fière allure (June 2020-2021).
In summer of 2022, she was entrusted with the show C'est ma tournée, a daily program focused on culture and its impact on society, on Ici Première. Known for her adaptability and exceptional listening skills, she delves into topics that ignite her passion, all while authentically engaging with guests from diverse backgrounds. Presenting 10 original episodes for Christmas 2022, she continued with the same format in the summer of 2023.
We can also see her from time to time on On va se le dire (Ici Télé) and catch her on On dira ce qu'on voudra (Ici Première). As a moderator/interviewer, she is regularly called upon to address issues of sexual and gender diversity, notably with organizations such as the Réseau des lesbiennes du Québec and Fierté au travail/Pride at work.
With a festive and warm nature, Eugénie is a host and columnist who is both enthusiastic, proactive, and passionate... much like the formidable player of "la boulette" that she is!
