What happens when the man guarding the Iron Curtain decides to escape through it himself? In 1975, Jiří Barteček was a Czechoslovak border guard, trained to track fugitives with a German shepherd and ordered to stop anyone attempting to reach Austria. Yet Jiří had no intention of defending the communist system. Haunted by the Soviet-led invasion of 1968 and determined never to shoot an innocent person, he secretly studied the border's weaknesses and planned an audacious escape. One night, accompanied by two friends and carrying his AK-47, he disabled the alarm, slipped beneath the wire and plunged into a river crossing. His ordeal did not end in the West. After days hiding around Vienna, Jiří entered an Austrian refugee camp—where an unknown gunman twice tried to kill him. This is a story of courage, chance and survival, told by the border guard who turned the Iron Curtain against itself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

1214. This week, we look at why we say, "It's all Greek to me" when we don't understand something. We trace the phrase from medieval monks who couldn't read Greek manuscripts to Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," and look at how other languages, like Czech, German, and Cantonese, express the same idea of incomprehension.The Greek segment was written by Valerie Fridland, a professor of linguistics at the University of Nevada in Reno and author of "Why We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind Our Accents."

A random exit on the way to Slovenia should have been a quick pit stop, but it turned into one of those travel moments that resets your whole nervous system. We followed a sign to a castle just seven minutes away, drove through a centuries-old stone arch, and landed in Gorizia, Italy, a quiet hilltop spot that feels like a hidden village inside a wall. We talk through what we saw, why it felt so magical, and how to fit this kind of “small detour” into an Italy itinerary if you are anywhere near Trieste or the Italy-Slovenia border.That surprise stop also sparks a bigger travel takeaway we love: plan around passions, not just destinations. From craft history like glassmaking to the most niche collector communities, the point is the same. When you travel for something you genuinely care about, the trip becomes more personal, more memorable, and way easier to bring home as real inspiration for your everyday life.Then we shift from Roam to Home with Amber Brandt, the Coziness Consultant, who helps us define quaint versus cozy and turn “I want my house to feel better” into clear actions. We unpack values-based decorating, asking the question under the question when you feel stuck, and practical design choices that matter fast: correct scale in big rooms, better lighting, layered texture, and curated collections that feel meaningful without becoming clutter. If you are renovating, redecorating, or just tired of chasing trends, this conversation is a grounding reset.thecozinessconsultant.cominstagram.com/thecozinessconsultantAnd mentioned on this episode: Glass Making Trail:“On the trail of the ancient glassworks of the Gorizia area”https://glassroutes.zrc-sazu.si/en/The exhibition in Gorizia explores the history of glass production in the Tarnova Forest, as part of the Interreg Glass Routes project.The Glass Routes project features a cross-border trail exploring the history of 18th-century Czech and Bohemian glassblowers in the Gorizia region and the Trnovo Forest.M is for MinimalismP is for PatternsIf this resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and share the show with a friend, then tell us what makes a space feel cozy to you.Wanna hit the road?

Why do Czechs buy five packs of toilet paper when they're on sale? And why does every Czech home seem to have a collection of empty jars, bags and boxes?In this episode, Monča talks about funny and surprisingly common Czech habits at home — from freezing bread and preserving food to covering a new sofa with a blanket and keeping a beautiful box of chocolates that nobody is allowed to eat.You'll also discover why some of these habits come from life during socialism, when things were harder to find or more expensive.What you'll learn:useful Czech vocabulary about everyday lifewhy Czechs love sales and buying things in bulkwhat "zavařovat" meanswhy Czechs keep empty jars, boxes and bagswhy bread often goes straight into the freezersome funny habits you might see in a Czech familyWant to follow the conversation more easily?Get the complete transcript to improve your Czech listening, review new vocabulary and study the episode at your own pace.https://slowczech.comNew to slowczech?Get our FREE Real Czech Starter Kit and start understanding what Czechs really say.https://slowczech.com/kit/podReady to speak Czech with confidence?Join our Immersion Program and practice Czech with real people.https://slowczech.com/immersion/pod

Craig's summer travels brought him north of the border this year, which is why we're fortunate to drink five Toronto-based beers for this little taste of Canada - and we have nothing to complain about (outside of beer shipping limits and metric system conversions). Also, we get a recap of Craig's experience at many of these breweries during World Cup games and wildfires; we find a few surprising Goldfinger connections; Craig avoids going on a much-anticipated date with Drake; Ryan wants to know Canadian brewers' favorite Kid in the Hall; and we accidentally discover the drug of the future.

They start things off with some of the usual topics (mostly- you'll never believe this- Japan travel) before heading over to NJPW for the final 4 nights of the G1 Climax! There is a TON to talk about here, including the, uh, very *interesting* reactions to the big Oiwa/Uemura final, but they don't shy away from any of it- full reviews of all four shows, plus thoughts on the individual performances of each and every wrestler and John gives their top 10 matches of the entire tournament!Then it's over to STARDOM for the most recent 4 nights of the 5 Star GP, which is also very close to wrapping up but not quite over yet! John & Velkej talk yet more Julia Hart, Starlight Kid taking down the talls, who we want to see back next year (and who we don't), and a whole lot more!Finally, John goes solo to wrap up the episode with Night 5 of TJPW's Princess Cup, featuring the semifinals!

One beer “gave us a vocabulary that includes the word pilsner for a style of beer, the word pilsner for a type of malt, and the word pilsner for a type of glassware,” observes the Prague-based writer Evan Rail. “No other brewery has had that type of impact,” he concludes. He isn't exaggerating. It's hard to argue that any other brewery or beer has had a greater impact on the world than Pilsner Urquell, the subject of this episode of One Iconic Beer. Among the first golden lagers ever made, it would soon spark a wave of imitators that would spread around the world, a legacy we can see in every pub and store that servers beer. How did a brand-new brewery located in a small Bohemian town with no history of making lagers pull off this trick? And what was so special about the original pilsner that has allowed it to flourish for nearly two centuries? We'll hear from Rail, who has written more extensively about Czech beer than any English-language writer, about the breweries origins and its development over decades filled with revolution, war, and turmoil. We also hear from Kamil Ruzek, a brewer who has spent the past 24 years at the brewery. He takes us into the brewery and shows us how things work.Join us for the remarkable story of the world's most influential beer on this episode of One Iconic Beer. Visit AllAboutBeer.com for more podcasts, to read original articles, and to get info on upcoming events.Click here to support independent journalism covering the beer industry.This episode is sponsored by:RahrBSGThis episode of the One Iconic Beer podcast is supported by RahrBSG – trusted supplier to brewers, distillers, and beverage makers across North America.  From the barley field to your brewhouse, we're proud to support the people behind great beer with the ingredients, expertise, and service they depend on.  Whether you're brewing the next great American Double IPA or crafting an award-winning continental lager, RahrbSG provides the industry's finest quality, selection, and support.

The Bartered Bride, a comic opera by Bedrich Smetana, premiered in Prague on March 30, 1866. Its pastoral love story and setting in a rural Czech village eventually became an enduring symbol of Czech nationalism. In Visions of the Village: Ruralness, Identity, and Czech Opera (Oxford University Press, 2025), Christopher Campo-Bowen examines how a particular image of the rural village in a set of Czech operas written between 1866 and 1904 became a powerful signifier for Czech ethnoracial and nationalist identity. He follows this conception of Czech identity and its entanglement with opera through the political changes in the years when the Czech lands were ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the upheaval that followed when the Empire collapsed in 1918 and the First Czechoslovak Republic was founded. In addition to composers and their operas, Campo-Bowen investigates the output of critics, administrators, and other urban intellectuals to understand the impact of village operas on public discourse. By setting his analysis within a discussion of how race was understood in nineteenth-century Europe, Campo-Bowen shows that this seemingly straightforward nationalist discourse was shot through with racialized essentialism and ideas about gender that were connected with larger political realities. He ends the book with a discussion of the resonances of this nineteenth-century conception of Czech identity in the current Czech Republic. Learn more about your ad choices.

„Kim był prozaik i eseista, który przesunął mentalną granicę między Wschodem a Zachodem, choć sam uważał się jedynie za „hedonistę zmuszonego żyć w świecie upolitycznionym ponad wszelką miarę”?” - pyta Aleksander Kaczorowski, biograf Milana Kundery, w książce poświęconej życiu wielkiego czeskiego pisarza.Na to pytanie nie ma łatwych odpowiedzi - w każdej drzemie bowiem jakiś paradoks.Oto kilka przykładów:Aby dzięki swoim bijącym rekordy popularności powieściom przypomnieć Europie o istnieniu Czechów, sam musiał zapomnieć o swoich rodakach.Do świata literatury wszedł przez rosyjską poezję, by potem zyskać przydomek „rusofoba” po kłótniach z Josipem Brodskim o Dostojewskiego i publikacji jednego z najważniejszych tekstów o tożsamości Europy Środkowej - eseju „Zachód porwany”.Mówił, że „powieść jest formą przeciwstawienia się ideologii”, ale czy sam potrafił się przed nią obronić?Kim więc był Milan Kundera?Prowadzenie: Agata KasprolewiczGość: Aleksander KaczorowskiKsiążka: Aleksander Kaczorowski „Milan Kundera.

Can we teach dogs to express their needs better by pressing buttons? What about the studies trying to teach bonobos and other primates to communicate through buttons or signs? What have we learned about whale communication from the first-ever recording of a sperm whale birth? In this episode, your hosts Lauren Gawne and Gretchen McCulloch get enthusiastic about how people use technology to try and enhance our communications with bonobos, dogs, and sperm whales. (Sorry, other animals, you'll need to wait for a future episode.) We talk about the crucial distinction in animal communication studies between "any communication at all" (yes) and "language the way humans do it" (no), how we can actually learn more by appreciating animal communication systems on their own terms, and how some kinds of tech are helping us do that. We also talk about the logistics of studying animal communication, including avoiding the Clever Hans effect, how ubiquitous recording technology has changed the game on whalesong in recent decades (but there's still lots of catching up to do), and an at-home study of over 10,000 dogs using buttons (they're still recruiting if you want to join!).

Catherine, David and Matt were live moments after Linda Noskova became Wimbledon champion, defeating her Czech compatriot Karolina Muchova 6-2 5-7 6-3 in what became a dramatic final. We start by discussing the important moments in the match; Noskova's sublime performance at the start to build a 6-2 5-2 lead, the choke which saw her lose five match points across three games and be taken to a third set, and her remarkable reset to then win that deciding set. How did Noskova pull it all off? How surprising was Muchova's slow start? And what might the future hold for both Noskova and Muchova? We also run through the day's other results, discuss Henry Patten standing up for doubles, and look ahead to tomorrow's men's final between Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev.

Several New York Times journalists were summoned to testify under oath after they reported alleged security concerns involving President Donald Trump's new Air Force One plane, the US newspaper said. Also on the programme: firefighters have for the first time started to contain wildfires in southern Spain which have killed at least 12 people; and Czech tennis player Linda Noskova beat her friend Karolina Muchova in an extraordinary and dramatic Wimbledon final.(Photo: US President Donald Trump speaks to reporters mid-flight in the press cabin of the new, Qatari-gifted Air Force One after changing planes to return to Washington from RAF Mildenhall, Britain on July 8, 2026.

Catherine, David and Matt react live to women's semi-finals day as Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova ensured there will be a Czech winner on Saturday. We start with Muchova's extraordinary win over Coco Gauff in a final set tiebreak. How did Muchova manage to beat Gauff over the distance? What was Gauff thinking with that drop shot on her match point? And do we have any concerns about Muchova when it comes to physicality and nerves in the final? As for the second semi-final (26:15), we talk about Noskova's remarkable poise and temperament which saw her produce another brilliant performance, and debate the extent to which Marta Kostyuk could have done more. We also look ahead to the men's semi-finals (42:12) and in particular the order of them, which sees Arthur Fery vs Alexander Zverev scheduled first, and Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner on second. What might have contributed to this switch? And who will it benefit?For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend.
