Earlier this year, Jan Zikmund launched Zikmund Literary , an agency that primarily aims to help Czech authors find readers around the world. But how does he plan to achieve this? How do books from this country tend to fare in foreign markets? And what other states can Czechia learn from in this arena? I discussed these questions and more with Zikmund, who is in his mid 30s and previously helped promote Czech writing in English-speaking countries at the state-funded Czech Literary Centre.

In the weekend edition of Czechia in 30 Minutes, we introduce Blood in Bohemia, a new Czechast series by Vít Pohanka and Rob Cameron. The first episode explores the violent death of Saint Wenceslas and what it reveals about early Czech history.

Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Athens, Greece, Part 2 of 2 This is the Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast.  The FAQ is: I'm currently taking 2 "high-risk" medications and will be traveling to Germany, Austria, and Czechia from the US in the fall (will be in each country less than 5 days). I know I'll need a doctor's note, keep everything in the original packaging, and declare them. What has your experience been traveling with prescription medication? Have you ever been pulled for extra questioning, had medication confiscated, or forgotten/skipped declaring, etc.? Answer: No, I've never been stopped for medication, nor has anyone I know. But you should always have a doctor's prescription, and it should be in the original packaging. You should have the supply amounts for the trip you are taking. So be mindful of any country laws and regulations. Always check first. Please note that I am not a medical doctor, but a business and marketing DBA.  60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, Confidence Challenge in travel, is to get tickets to an event in a different country. If you're trying to see a big event like the World Cup, you may need to check the current conditions, pricing, and immigration rules. I attended the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, and I hope to go to the next games in 2028, but it's not a sure thing to get a ticket. You can sign up now if you want. See the show notes. https://la28.org/en/newsroom/la28-launches-global-olympic-ticket-sales.html   If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into specific events for travel, like Olympic Games, while moving through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with foreign language communication tips. See Book A for addressing this concern. Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series, and part C is almost ready for pre-sales. Today's destination is Athens, Greece, Part 2 of 2 Remember, it's a Step 5 destination. Here's some guidance for you on the places to see in Athens. Acropolis Visit I entered the Acropolis at 7:10 PM, so I only had 50 minutes, but that was enough. Visiting at night was better since it wasn't too crowded.  But you get kicked out at 8 pm, so I had another couple of hours to explore the areas around the buildings, and they were still visible from the nearby hillside. It did get cooler after 8 p.m., too. I think that there is so much more than just the main attractions. Spend more time here in the evening, when it's still light outdoors. Saturday: M2 to Elliniko I took the metro to the Acropolis station, but it was under construction, so I had to change my plans. No problem Last Day in Athens I went swimming in the bay near Edem, a public beach accessible by tram. There, I met Don and Joan from the USA, who are now locals thanks to the Golden Visa program, having obtained resident status here for $250,000. They're living the good life now! They showed me the ropes at the beach and provided great insight into life and culture here. They are a sweet couple, probably in their 55s or 60s. In the '80s, Don lived in San Diego with his former wife, raised kids there, and worked for General Dynamics.  Afterward, I visited Poseidon Taverna, a restaurant near the tram station, and later hiked up Proponisia Mountain, or Hill. I enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the roof of my hostel while talking to Damien from Holland and my roommate, Danny from Takoma.  I also had breakfast with another hostel roommate, Amanda, a tech expert traveling solo. Additionally, I spoke again with Ryan from Melbourne, Australia. He missed his flight and expressed his desire to run with the bulls in Spain soon. I gave him some of my leftover books and food for his future trip. Food: Gyros with pork  Recommended Activities: Hop-on, hop-off bus, Architecture Museum, and a city tour.  I did a lot of walking this week, averaging 10-17 kilometers every day. A side note: I just hit the 5,000-mile mark on my walking badge app, some of it in Greece. My missteps: I got scammed online I was scammed on Amazon for a product I did not order. A random vendor mailed me some jewelry. I did not order it. Then I saw a bill for $400. It was impossible to get a refund, because the seller was no longer on the website. After several months, I did receive a refund, but it was a challenge to get it. Don't let that happen to you.  AI was used to select some of the suggestions for this episode.

"I have to say that the best experience was to conduct choirs on many levels, with amateurs who loved what they did, it was a pleasure working with them just because of that, and also working with higher-level groups and being able to do other things. I started teaching children from 6 years old up to 20. I had non-auditioned groups and more advanced students. That for me was my best teaching experience."Tiago Marques studied Piano, Guitar, Singing and Choral Conducting at the Academia de Amadores de Música (AAM) and the Escola Artística de Música do Conservatório Nacional (EAMCN), Portugal's largest and most prestigious school in primary to secondary music education. Between 1992 and 1996 he got a Bachelor's Degree in Composition at the Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa (ESML), studying under Christopher Bochmann and António Pinho Vargas.Between 1997 and 2002 he studied Choir Conducting at the Utrechts Conservatorium and the Conservatorium van Amsterdam under Daniel Reuss, Jos Vermunt and Jos van Veldhoven. His Bachelor's Degree's final exam included both classical music and close-harmony (jazz, latin and pop music for vocal ensembles), a genre in which he has been specializing for many years while singing in, conducting and writing for several choirs and vocal groups. He followed summer courses and workshops in this genre with, among others, Darmon Meader, Peter Eldridge, Kim Nazarian and Lauren Kinhan (New York Voices), Michele Weir and Phil Mattson (P.M. Singers), Anders Edenroth and Peder Karlson (The Real Group), Ward Swingle and Jonathan Rathbone (The Swingle Singers) and Jens Johanssen (Vocal Line). In 2011 and 2012 he got two Master's Degrees in Choral Conducting (both Performance and Teaching) at the ESML.Between 1994 and 1997 he taught Choir, Chamber Music and Harmony and Musical Analysis at the AAM and the Escola de Música do Orfeão de Leiria. Since 2005 he has been a Choir teacher at EAMCN, heading the Ensemble Music Department since 2024.In Portugal, the Netherlands and Czechia he conducted several choirs and sang in high level ensembles of music genres such as early music, opera, contemporary and close-harmony. At the moment he conducts Musaico, an advanced choir in the EAMCN, and Coro da Ermida, both of which have been gold medallists in international competitions.Tiago Marques is also a composer and arranger, having a number of works performed and recorded by choirs and vocal ensembles in Portugal, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Czechia, as well as an award at the International Vocal Group Festival in Tilburg (2004) for Best Arrangement.To get in touch with Tiago, you can find him on Facebook (@tpnmarques).Email choirfampodcast@gmail.com to contact our hosts.Podcast music from Podcast.coPhoto in episode artwork by Trace Hudson

You have almost certainly seen the image in today's episode artwork before. It is a family portrait showing Maximilian, his first wife Marie of Burgundy, his son, Philip the Handsome and three children. When Bernhard Strigel painted this image in around the year 1516, Philip the Handsome was already dead for 10 years and Marie of Burgundy had gone more than 30 years before. Then there are the inscriptions over the heads of these well-known and easily identifiable figures. There is a lot of Habsburg chin on show here. But they do not describe Maximilian as emperor, but as Cleophas, blood brother of Joseph, husband of the divine Virgin Mary, Marie of Burgundy is Mary Cleophas, sister of the Virgin Mary, and Philip the Handsome as James the Lesser, apostle and son of the other two. Two of the three little boys are named as Joseph the Just and Simon the Zealot, the cousin of the lord. Who are these saints? Well they do appear in the bible, so they are real, but in very minor roles. One of them was even rejected as an apostle. But they do have something special, they are Jesus' aunt, uncle, nephews and cousin. And since he had died without offspring, his heirs. So this is a picture about succession and inheritance, not necessarily about family love.Ok, making the emperor the brother in law of Joseph is quite odd already, but let's talk about the three children. They were all alive when this picture was painted and roughly the age they are depicted as. The one in the middle is Charles, the future emperor Charles V. And the little boy cuddling up to Maximilian is his brother Ferdinand, the future emperor Ferdinand I., again identified as holy nephew and cousin. But who is the third child? Well, that is Louis, the future king Louis II of Hungary and Bohemia, son of king Vladislav II and his French wife Anne de Foix. So no close blood relation. What does he do in one of the most famous Habsburg family portraits? It must have something to do with succession and inheritance.That is indeed what we are going to talk about today. Little Louis will be the key to the creation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this agglomeration of lands centered around Austria, Czechia and Hungary that stayed or was made to stay together for nearly 400 years.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.So far I have:The OttoniansSalian Emperors and Investiture ControversyFredrick Barbarossa and Early HohenstaufenFrederick II Stupor MundiSaxony and Eastward ExpansionThe Hanseatic LeagueThe Teutonic KnightsThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356The Reformation before the ReformationThe Empire in the 15th centuryThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs
