Join us as Julius Jakob shares his account of what it was like to be a Czechoslovakian citizen who was forced to fight for the Wehrmacht after his country was annexed by Nazi Germany prior to WW2. Julius was a Sudaten German in Czechoslovakia who served, as a Czech citizen, in the Czech army prior to WW2. After Czechoslovakia was annexed by Germany in 1938/1939, he was conscripted into the German army and was later taken prisoner and served time as a POW for the Americans, Canadians and British.Julius shares experiences that are not as widely studied or discuss but were shared by millions of citizens occupied by the Nazis during WW2.

As a new Slovak moving portrait now in cinemas brings his story to life, we look back at the life and legacy of Ondrej Nepela — Slovakia's greatest figure skater and one of its most celebrated athletes. Through archival recordings and new interviews with filmmakers, actors, and those who knew him, we trace Nepela's journey — from a quiet boy discovered by coach Hilda Múdra to an Olympic champion and Sportsman of the Century. The broadcast features voices of film director and screenwriter Gregor Valentovič, producer Ivan Ostrochovský, Czech actor Josef Trojan, and Slovak actress Zuzana Mauréry; lyricist Kamil Peteraj; former skaters Agnesa Búřilová and Jozef Sabovčík; and current rising star Adam Hagara. Thanks to the archives, you'll also hear the late coach and researcher Dr. Ivan Mauer, Nepela's longtime mentor Hilda Múdra — whom he affectionately called "teta" — Ondrej Nepela himself, and more.

Several iconic German car brands have reported huge profit drops recently. This at the time when sales of European cars in China are plunging, while and exports to the United States are becoming costlier due to tariffs introduced by Donald Trump's administration. What lies ahead for the industry to which the Czech economy has so tightly bound its fortunes? And could a potential postponement of the EU's planned 2035 ban on new combustion-engine cars offer European automakers a lifeline?Guest: Wolfgang Münchau - economic journallst and author, co-founder and director of EurointelligenceČlánek a další informace najdete na webu Seznam Zprávy Sledujte nás na sociálních sítích X, Instagram nebo Threads.

Some Czechs have a lifelong fascination with America — and Zdeněk Jurásek is one of them. The president of the Czech Route 66 Association first cycled the legendary road from Chicago to Santa Monica in 1998 and has since done it dozens of times, even if mostly by car. In this episode of Czechia in 30 Minutes, he talks about why Route 66 became his American dream — and how it still inspires Czechs today.

Join me for an inspiring conversation with Josie Cox, award-winning journalist, author of Women Money Power, and founding editor of The Persistent. Josie's journey from a tiny Swiss village to becoming one of the most compelling voices in economic equality is a testament to the power of purpose-driven work and unwavering conviction. In this deeply personal episode, Josie shares her unique upbringing as a "third culture kid" — growing up in Switzerland to a Czech mother and English father, navigating multiple languages and cultures, and learning early on about inequality when she transitioned from public school to an international school system. We explore how these formative experiences shaped her understanding of socioeconomic differences and fueled her passion for financial journalism. Josie opens up about her career path from Reuters in Frankfurt to London and eventually New York City, making crucial decisions that prioritized passion over paychecks. She candidly discusses the tension between artistic fulfillment and financial security, her experience with eating disorders during college, and how meeting her now-husband transformed her understanding of partnership and shared resources. Most powerfully, Josie reveals the moment that inspired her book *Women Money Power* — an off-the-record interview with a prominent CEO whose dismissive views on women's economic ambition became her call to action. Her mission is clear: to illuminate why economic inequality persists and to give courage to those fighting against it. This conversation is essential listening for anyone interested in economic justice, the intersection of gender and finance, and how one person's voice can amplify change across generations.  Key Topics: Choosing passion over profit: starting a journalism career despite modest pay Navigating relationships and money with partners at different income levels Combining finances in marriage and recognizing the value of unpaid labor Why the gender pay gap persists and what we can do about it The legacy she hopes to leave for her daughter and future generations Speaking truth to power through journalism and advocacy   Connect with Josie Cox online: Website:https://www.josiecox.com Book: Women Money Power: The Rise and Fall of Economic Equality LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josie-cox-68476a52/ Find more from Syama Bunten: Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: wealthcatalyst.com Podcast: wealthcatalyst.com/getting-rich-together-podcast Download Syama's Free Resources: wealthcatalyst.com/resources Wealth Catalyst Summit: wealthcatalyst.com/summits Speaking: syamabunten.com Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com  

With captain Adam Lowry set to return Tuesday night against the Kings in Los Angeles, the obvious question is: when will the Winnipeg Jets announce his contract extension? Everyone knows it's coming -- but will we have to wait until the Jets wrap up their longest road trip of the season? The Kings, meanwhile, sit outside the playoff picture at 5-4-4. Have they underachieved so far? Cam and Tyson (in for Jim) break it down with Los Angeles ice-side commentator Daryl Evans. Plus, a listener email asks the unthinkable: could the Jets ever trade Mark Scheifele?

Powodów współczesnego sceptycyzmu religijnego Czechów można szukać w głębokim średniowieczu. To wówczas żyła chociażby księżniczka Wilemina, którą jej wyznawcy uważali za kobiece wcielenie Ducha Świętego. Wówczas też w Pradze nauczał cesarski notariusz, później kaznodzieja prostytutek, Jan Milicz z Kromierzirza - jeden z najważniejszych mistrzów Jana Husa. W 98 odcinku Czechostacji rozmawiam z historyczką Joanną Nowak, konsultantką Warhorse Studios właśnie o tych zjawiskach i postaciach, które poprzedziły nadejście wielkiego protoreformatora Kościoła Katolickiego, spalonego na stosie w Konstancji księdza Jana Husa.Jest w tej rozmowie więc i o Wileminie Przemyślidce, zapewne starszej siostrze świętej Agnieszki Czeskiej. Jest o wczesnochrześcijańskich gnostykach i tym, jaki wywarli wpływ na francuskich katarów. Jest też o ruchach, które nie negowały kościoła jako wspólnoty, krytykując go równocześnie jako instytucję: o waldensach czy begardach i beginkach.Na scenę, znienacka, wkracza też zbrojna odpowiedź Kościoła na ten ferment - inkwizycja. A skoro inkwizycja, to jest też trochę o średniowiecznej magii i czarach. Fani gry komputerowej Kingdom Come Deliverance będą zaś mogli sprawdzić, czy historia husyckiego księdza Boguty walczącego z wiedźmą ma swój historyczny pierwowzór.Odcinek podsumowuję mini przewodnikiem po Pradze, śladami Jana Milicza i jego działalności misyjnej wśród prostytutek, prowadzonej w byłym domu publicznym Wenecja, przekształconym w Nową Jerozolimę.Jeśli interesują Was inne odcinki Czechostacji, związane z szeroko pojętą historią ruchu husyckiego, to znajdziecie je tu:https://www.spreaker.com/episode/husyci-religijna-rewolucja-szwedzki-stol-czeskiej-polityki-historycznej--58228746https://www.spreaker.com/episode/jan-zizka-bandyta-religijny-fundamentalista-niepokonany-wodz-husytow-opowiada-dr-jan-skvrnak--62533193https://www.spreaker.com/episode/kingdom-come-deliverance-gra-i-opowiesc-o-czeskim-sredniowieczu-w-jednym-opowiada-joanna-nowak--63934803https://www.spreaker.com/episode/kingdom-come-jak-wojna-dwoch-luksemburgow-zmienila-czechy-i-europe-opowiada-joanna-nowak--65557561https://www.spreaker.com/episode/bitwa-pod-domazlicami-husycki-grunwald-gdzie-czesi-pokonali-krzyzowcow-piesnia--67340021***Jeśli podcast Wam się podoba i chcecie pomóc go rozwijać, możecie zostać Patronami lub Patronkami Czechostacji w serwisie Patronite.

When two American evaders kidnap Kessler and hold him aboard Hans Von Broecken's barge Lifeline's agents inevitably become involved and tragedy ensues. This episode, written and directed by Paul Annett, weaves together: Nazi art theft - with both Albert and Monique, and Kessler on the trail of a priceless Rubens painting; the return of our favourite bargee and his wife - Hans and Lena; and the rash actions of two scared Americans, in a complex but enjoyable episode of Secret Army. As well as exploring Weekend's key themes AJ and Andy ponder Monique's family background, Madame Desmartes's metaphor, that 'difficult period' between Jesus's crucifixion and entombment, and the whereabouts of waitress Genevieve. They also discuss the passing of the golden era of chocolate boxes, the impact of 'Allo! 'Allo! on Secret Army, and who actually wrote the 'Evening at Le Candide' theatre evening - was it Andy or Angela?

Pilsner Urquell is one of the most famous beers in the world and many would argue it's the original golden lager as, after all, “Pilsner Urquell” means Original Pilsner. But what is its origin story, how is it brewed and how has Pilsner Urquell the beer evolved (if at all) from its invention in 1842 in the town of Plzen, Czech Republic? On this episode of the “All About Beer” podcast, we talk to Brewmaster Emeritus and Plzen native Václav Berka about the history of golden lager from the Czech perspective and how Pilsner Urquell conquered the world and brought Czech lager and drinking traditions to mankind.This Episode is Sponsored by:RahrBSGNeed ingredients and supplies that deliver consistent, high-quality beer?

Eric and Eliot discuss appeasement and the striking similarities between Putin's recent demands and Hitler's insistence that the Czechs surrender the heavily fortified Sudetenland. They then turn to the latest idiocy coming from the administration, including Trump's demolition of the East Wing, the Pentagon's new exclusively right-wing press corps, and the live-fire Marine exercise that sent ordnance onto I-5 in California during a salute to Pete Hegseth and JD Vance. They also examine Putin's phone call with Trump and the situation in Ukraine, along with Trump's accelerating campaign of regime change in Venezuela. They end the week's conversation with thoughts on the No Kings protests and the daunting prospects for a sustained ceasefire in Gaza.

Historian Michal Kšiňan explains the history behind the Cleveland agreement, the first document on the joint action of the Czechs and Slovaks in the struggle for national liberation in and after WWI. The first Czechoslovak republic was established in 1918 also thanks to Czechs and Slovaks living in the USA. Many of their descendants travel to Slovakia to seek their roots. In 2023, Zuzana Botikova met with Viera Marecová who helps finding Americans tracing their roots.

In this shortcast edition of the Podcast for Social Research, BISR's Isi Litke and Jude Webre discuss Fritz Lang's Hangmen Also Die! (1947). Loosely based on the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, and conceived by Lang and Bertolt Brecht mere weeks after his death, the film follows members of the Czech resistance as they attempt to shield Heydrich's killer from Nazi authorities in occupied Prague. Conversation ranges from Lang and Brecht's fraught collaboration to Hanns Eisler's unconventional score, the film's attempts to sell a war-averse American public on the antifascist cause, the nature of Popular Front cultural objects, and the film's connection to the Hollywood blacklist. To what extent does Hangmen Also Die! succeed as propaganda, as procedural, and/or as epic theater? How does the film embody the tensions intrinsic to Popular Front coalitions? And what might the film teach us about antifascist politics and propaganda in our current moment? The Podcast for Social Research is produced by Ryan Lentini.

Specifically: Joe Nuxhall's Record-Breaking MLB Debut Joe shares the story of Joe Nuxhall, who at 15 years and 10 months became the youngest person to pitch in a Major League Baseball game for the Cincinnati Reds in 1944. Vojtěch Preissig's Life and Art Artstar shared the life story of Czech artist Vojtěch Preissig, who was born in 1872 and worked as a topographer, illustrator, and designer.

Nazi V1 Flying Bomb Overview Hunter presented an in-depth overview of the V1 flying bomb, also known as the Buzz Bomb or Doodle Bug, developed by Nazi Germany during World War II.

 “You live a new life for every language you speak. If you know only one language, you live only once.” ―Czech proverb Did you know that 92% of students in Europe learn another language in school, and nearly a quarter of Canadians can hold a conversation in both English and French. Roughly one out of every two people on the planet knows at least two languages, and three out of four humans don't speak English. (source: ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) That may sound hyperbolic or pie-in-the-sky, but take a moment and consider what a democracy rests upon: civility, acceptance of differences, even if the majority rules, minority's rights are protected, along with a educated populous in vast fields of knowledge. These benefits, as we will talk about in more detail at the end of today's post, not only benefit the individual in the career and life pursuits, they also benefit the social and economic security of a democracy. "Growth in the number of people speaking languages in addition to English creates new opportunities for greater cross-cultural understanding, and integrates different ideas and perspectives in ways that will improve democratic discourse." —The Century Foundation As we get older, the argument is that it becomes more difficult to acquire a new language, and while that can be true, it depends more heavily upon the individual, their cognitive strength, the type of language they are learning (what Group level is it), as well as their awareness about what it takes to learn a new language. Yes, there will be challenges. Yes, you will be required to set aside your ego, and yes, it will take dedicated and consistent effort for at least 500 hours of learning to gain basic proficiency in a Grade I language (French and Spanish are included in this category). But the temporary stress is worth it for all that is gained. “A man who is ignorant of foreign languages is also ignorant of his own language.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Let's take a look four truths that are revealed about someone who chooses to learn a new language. Each worthwhile attributes that not coincidentally play fundamental roles in living a life of contentment.

Today, we travel to the Czech Republic, to a quiet town that once seemed ordinary. Behind closed doors, however, a nightmare was unfolding—one so disturbing it shocked not only the local community but the entire world. It began with the discovery of a hidden camera feed, a glimpse into a household where innocence was shattered and cruelty thrived. The story that emerged would reveal a twisted network of abuse, secrecy, and manipulation, leaving investigators horrified by the lengths some will go to in the name of power and control. This is the Kurim Case.SOURCES:1) Woman Arrested in Norway for Impersonating Teen2) DNA tests prove 32-year-old woman posed as teenager in child abuse case3) Morbidology Podcast: The Mauerova Family4) Grail Movement5) Child abuse case exposes Czech sect6) The Disturbing Tale of The Mauerova Cult Family7) Child abuse case continues in Brno8) Court hands jail sentences in bizarre child abuse case9) Woman who posed as girl set free but rearrested outside court10) Mother, aunt, mysterious woman-girl-boy sentenced in Brno child abuse case11) Six jailed for caging and abusing two young brothers13) Casefiles Podcast: Case 223 "The Kurim Case"
