Podcasts about Prague

Oh baby, we've got an action packed show for you tonight - it was a big weekend of big hockey action all over the map and we've mostly lived to tell the tales!First off, we're talkin' the '91-'92 Chicago Blackhawks - fresh off a President's Cup winning season that ended in first round defeat, ol' Iron Mike Keenan decided his team needed a little more grit and shipped out a number of Hawks mainstays, including longtime blueline stalwart Doug Wilson, as well as as 7 or 8 others.  The new squad lead by young superstar Jeremy Roenick, as well as a solid D corps lead by Chris Chelios and Steve Smith and young superstar goalie tandem Eddie "The Eagle" Belfour and Dominik "The Dominator" Hasek ran through the Campbell Conference before falling to the Penguins in 4 straight.Then in the second, it's all about what's to be done with big bag Radko Gudas who's ruining seasons across the league - first it was Sid the Kid, now it's Toronto Papi (though his season may have been done long ago!).  Who can stop this menace?  Doesn't seem like any of the other 'Buds are up to the challenge.  Then we shift our focus to the playoff races around the league that are heating up - are our own Winnipeg Jets gettin' hot at the right time?  How about the Sens and the Jackets - can they continue to hang on?We'll talk about the big international announcement - the return of the World Cup of Hockey to be hosted in 1998 in Prague, Edmonton and Calgary.  Plus, co-host Tom has more Stat Lines than we know what to do with!In the third, we salute the Juicii Sorrows, your 2025/26 Garage League Champions!  The took down Les Ales Awerchuks in a nailbiter this past Saturday night to hoist the cup!  Plus we've got packs to rip and a trio of great songs from artists coming to Birds Hill in July.

Emmy-winning screenwriter, the divine Ken Levine, was today's guilty, not guilty pleasure. Rushing off for a next-to-last dress rehearsal before tomorrow's sole preview, we got a good, healthy dose of the funny, as Ken is wont to do. Guilty Pleasures, his 10th published full-length play, opens this Friday at the Westchester Theatre in Los Angeles for a four-week run. An adult entertainment, no, not that kind, the show's disclaimer says, “Please note this play is intended for mature audiences, as it contains strong language and sexual content.” Ken adds, no nudity, but I know from experience it'll be loaded with laughs. Bonus, my pal, Marshall McCabe, is one of the four stars. One of the most successful humans I know, cross-genre, Ken is a multi-award-winning writer of such shows as Cheers, MASH, Frasier, The Simpsons, and Wings. He's directed over 60 TV episodes and has co-written the movie, VOLUNTEERS, starring Tom Hanks and John Candy; he's been a radio DJ and the play-by-play voice of the Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners, and San Diego Padres. Ken's hosted Dodger Talk for eight seasons, has hosted his own successful podcast, and wrote one of the 25 BEST blogs, as says Time Magazine. Currently, Ken's a contributing cartoonist to the New Yorker Magazine and a globally successful playwright. Guilty Pleasures has been enjoying a two-year run in Prague! Why is he focused on the stage instead of the screen when clearly the financial benefits of the latter so greatly surpass the former? Ken tells it. As always, Ken reminded me how wonderful it is to laugh. A much-needed break from the current madness. I could sure use some more. I'll be heading to the Westchester Theatre this weekend to indulge in some of Ken's Guilty Pleasures (link in the comments). I'll be using code Heywestchester for a $5 discount on the $25 tkts. Hell, it's cheaper than a movie with real live actors making magic just feet away. There's nothing like Live theatre. Except ballet and opera, but don't tell Timothée Chalamet.

EPISODE 158 | Nasty NASA: The Challenger and Other Spacespiracies At 11:38 am  on January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger lifted off from Florida's Cape Canaveral on its 10th mission and 73 seconds later exploded, killing everyone on board. This was seen live on television by millions of people because a civilian teacher was one of the crew.  At first, it was thought an external fuel tank had exploded. But after a thorough investigation, the real culprit turned out to be a faulty O-ring. Over the years, more digging would uncover behind the scenes drama, some of which may have led to the disaster. And for some folks, conspiracy narratives started to circulate that the whole thing was fake, the crew was still alive, that it was aliens, that they slipped into a parallel dimension and so on. Plus, NASA is often the target of conspironauts who think they know what's “really” going on. Review us here or on IMDb. And seriously, subscribe, will ya?

Welcome back to Practically Pastoring. Andrew hosts Jeff, Del, Frank, and guest missionary Zach Harrod, serving in Prague, for an episode that is equal parts pastoral weight, practical systems, and classic pastor banter.Question 1, Kids ministry trauma and safetyA church leader asks how to care well for an 11-year-old who disclosed abuse (now under investigation by police and CPS) while also protecting other kids and volunteers. The crew talks through trauma-informed ministry, supervision, and wise safeguards that communicate compassion without ignoring safety.Key takeawaysDo not create “reactionary policy” for one child. Build trauma-aware practices that serve your whole next-gen ministry.Consider training for children's and youth volunteers so everyone understands trauma, triggers, and appropriate response.Use a “big buddy” approach: an extra trusted adult in the room who can provide stability, keep eyes on the situation, and help de-escalate without stigmatizing the child.Care for the parents too. Church family means supporting the whole household, not just managing behavior on Sundays.Write an emergency action plan for kids ministry: clear steps for escalation, who does what, and how you protect the room if an incident occurs.Be proactive, not reactive. Policies and plans made ahead of time protect kids, volunteers, and the church.Question 2, Tracking online attendanceA question from Reddit asks how to track online attendance across YouTube, Facebook, and streaming platforms without constantly rewriting numbers. The team talks about defining what “attendance” means, avoiding inflated or unethical reporting, and remembering that online engagement is not the same as embodied discipleship, while still acknowledging the value streaming can have for shut-ins, medically vulnerable families, and certain demographics.Practical tips discussedDecide what metric you mean before you track it, since each platform counts differently.Consider peak simultaneous viewers as a simple, consistent metric.Tools like Restream can provide reporting on peak viewership by platform, and send post-stream summaries.Question 3, Bible marking without regretA listener asks for real systems for marking up a high-quality wide-margin Bible without ending up with a mess. The crew shares approaches ranging from keeping a separate “study Bible,” to using clear sticky notes for temporary markings, to building a color-coded system, to writing prayers and notes with legacy in mind for kids and future readers.GuestZach Harrod shares his story of coming to faith, long-term ministry in Prague, and how proactive planning and “respond, don't react” leadership instincts translate into church life and family care.Learn more about Zach and his ministry at http://harrodovi.comLinks mentionedChurch Merch: promotionsguy.com/churchmerchThe Body Keeps the Score (recommended reading) https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748Chapters00:00 Intro and Zach Harrod joins the show03:00 Question 1, Kids ministry trauma and the Big Buddy Plan24:00 Church Merch sponsor31:00 Question 2, Tracking online attendance across platforms52:00 Question 3, Bible marking systems that work1:10:00 Wrap-up and Facebook group invite

David Bailey reveals that 30-40 countries are secretly mining Bitcoin and 10+ nations are quietly building strategic Bitcoin reserves. The CEO of Nakamoto and Bitcoin Magazine joins Brandon to break down the Nakamoto-BTC Inc merger, why Bitcoin treasury companies are struggling, how the convertible note strategy backfired, what the Trump administration has actually delivered for Bitcoin, and why the nation-state Bitcoin race is bigger than anyone realizes. David shares hard-won lessons from his first year as a public company CEO, explains why you can't out-Saylor Saylor, and reveals the asymmetric advantage of accumulating Bitcoin in a bear market. He also discusses why no government wants to announce their Bitcoin holdings — and why that's about to change.

Bitcoin is down 50% from its all-time high. Sentiment is the worst it's been in years. And yet, this might be the most important conversation I've had about where Bitcoin is actually going. Peter Dunworth is a Bitcoin advisor who has been in this space since 2016. He's survived every crash, every bear market, and every time people said Bitcoin was dead. Today he laid out the case for why Bitcoin could see a 10,000x return from current levels — and why the real crisis nobody is talking about makes that not just possible, but necessary. We broke down the collateral crisis hiding underneath the debt problem, what happens when two nation states with money printers start competing for Bitcoin, why the gold and silver blow-off top actually confirms the parabolic thesis, and why this bear market might be the last real buying opportunity before everything changes.

Pundit: Coalition “will clash more often” now Babiš has immunity, Prague museum acquires suitcase of journalist Milena Jesenská, Vít Hořejš and Bonnie Stein on their indie movie co-starring 200-year-old Czech marionettes

Deutsche Welle, DW, Reporter Rob Cameron brings us the story of a family in Prague that is holding classical music concerts in informal settings. The post This family in Prague holds classical music concerts in their own living room appeared first on The World from PRX.

This week saw the first screening in Prague of the independent movie Wooden Hearts, which stars Vít Hořejš, founder of the Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre. The fiction film also features many of the traditional puppets that Hořejš – who left Czechoslovakia in the late 1970s – uncovered in an old Czech church in Manhattan several decades ago. He and his life partner Bonnie Stein, who produced Wooden Hearts and also appears in the charming picture, stopped by at our studios just ahead of the screening.

Harriett Gilbert welcomes the French author Laurent Binet to the World Book Club studio to answer your questions about his acclaimed novel HHhH.The book tells the story of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, one of the chief architects of the Holocaust, and the daring mission carried out by Czech resistance fighters in Nazi-occupied Prague. At the same time, Binet places himself into the narrative, obsessively questioning how history should be told, where fact ends and fiction begins, and whether a writer ever has the right to blur that line.Recorded in front of a live audience at The American Library in Paris, Laurent will be answering your questions about blending history and fiction without betraying the truth, why he chose to make himself writing part of the story itself, and how storytelling is an attempt to confront, or make sense of, the darkest moments in history.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John speaks with Ambassador Robert Rehak, the Czech Republic's Special Envoy for the Holocaust, Interfaith Dialogue, and Freedom of Religion and Belief, about his extensive global efforts to protect marginalized communities and promote tolerance. The conversation creatively opens by comparing his human rights work to the Czech legend of Houska Castle—a fortress built to seal the gates of hell—before delving into his real-world responsibilities as the Chair of the International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance. Ambassador Rehak shares compelling examples of his advocacy, including his efforts to free a Nigerian prisoner of conscience, unique social experiments dressing as different religious figures at soccer matches to combat Islamophobia, and organizing interfaith sports tournaments for Jewish and Muslim youth. They also discuss urgent global crises, such as the destruction of religious sites and oppression of minorities in Russian-occupied Ukraine, the systemic persecution of Uyghur Muslims in China, and the ongoing struggles in Syria. Drawing on his own poignant experiences growing up behind the Iron Curtain in communist Czechoslovakia and participating in the Velvet Revolution, Ambassador Rehak underscores his deep personal dedication to democracy and concludes with a hopeful call to action for everyday people to champion religious freedom and global unity. Robert Řehák, Ph.D. is Special Envoy for Holocaust, Interfaith Dialogue and Freedom of Religion, Czech career diplomat, Head of the Czech Delegation to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), Chair of the International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance (IRFBA) or the Article 18 Alliance, published scholar of biblical proper names and the Dead Sea Scrolls, and official Hebrew interpreter. He studied at Charles University in Prague, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität in Heidelberg and Hebrew University in Jerusalem. As a researcher, he participates in several international research projects in the field of interfaith dialogue and sociology of religion. He is the initiator of the new Czech National Strategy of Combating anti-Semitism and co-ordinated the recent conference on the Terezín Declaration and the 2023 FoRB Ministerial in Prague. He is proficient in Czech, English, Hebrew, German and Russian, and reads classical Latin, Greek and Arabic. He lives in Prague with his wife and four children.

Full Text of Readings Monday of the Second Week of Lent Lectionary: 230 The Saint of the day is Saint Agnes of Bohemia Saint Agnes of Bohemia's Story Agnes had no children of her own but was certainly life-giving for all who knew her. Saint Agnes of Bohemia was the daughter of Queen Constance and King Ottokar I of Bohemia. She was betrothed to the Duke of Silesia, who died three years later. As she grew up, she decided she wanted to enter the religious life. After declining marriages to King Henry VII of Germany and King Henry III of England, Agnes was faced with a proposal from Frederick II, the Holy Roman Emperor. She appealed to Pope Gregory IX for help. The pope was persuasive; Frederick magnanimously said that he could not be offended if Agnes preferred the King of Heaven to him. After Agnes built a hospital for the poor and a residence for the friars, she financed the construction of a Poor Clare monastery in Prague. In 1236, she and seven other noblewomen entered this monastery. Saint Clare sent five sisters from San Damiano to join them, and wrote Agnes four letters advising her on the beauty of her vocation and her duties as abbess. Saint Agnes of Bohemia became known for prayer, obedience and mortification. Papal pressure forced her to accept her election as abbess, nevertheless, the title she preferred was “senior sister.” Her position did not prevent her from cooking for the other sisters and mending the clothes of lepers. The sisters found her kind but very strict regarding the observance of poverty; she declined her royal brother's offer to set up an endowment for the monastery. Devotion to Agnes arose soon after her death on March 6, 1282. Canonized in 1989, her liturgical feast is celebrated on March 6. Reflection Agnes spent at least 45 years in a Poor Clare monastery. Such a life requires a great deal of patience and charity. The temptation to selfishness certainly didn't vanish when Agnes walked into the monastery. It is perhaps easy for us to think that cloistered nuns “have it made” regarding holiness. Their route is the same as ours: gradual exchange of our standards—inclinations to selfishness—for God's standard of generosity.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

EPISODE 157 | Bohemian Books: Gigas, Voynich & Soyga Some very old books have an air of mystery and intrigue about them. Partly, that's because they are literally hundreds of years old, and partly because of the weird things they contain.  Today, we'll take a look at three, all of which have a connection to the Czech Republic and Prague: the biggest book in the world, the Codex Gigas (also known as the Devil's Bible and which features heavily [no pun intended] in Dan Brown's latest schlock fest), the utterly baffling Voynich Manuscript, which is not written in any recognizable language; and the mysterious Book of Soyga, which disappeared for nearly 400 years, and some say that if you can decipher the final puzzles in the book, you will die.

This podcast looks at Prague, in the center of Europe, from a number of perspectives, including what it is now, what is has been and where it's going. It's Prague THEN, Prague NOW, Prague LATER 

Welcome back to the Fifth Question Podcast — I'm your host, Rabbi Daniel Levine.In this episode, I sit down with Professor Mike Wirth (Queens University of Charlotte): artist, educator, and futurist. We start with a deceptively simple question—what is a futurist?—and end up in a wide-ranging conversation on Jewish futurism, story-space, Chassidic imagination, and what it means to “shape the future” by being fully present.Mike shares how Jewish time itself is a kind of futurist technology: Shabbat as a “time tunnel,” holidays that loop us back into ancestral memory, and the ritual language that always points forward—toward where we're headed. From there, we explore how art can become a portal into Torah: inhabiting biblical narratives as lived worlds, and turning characters into avatars for communal creativity.Then we pivot to the modern world: AI and art. Mike breaks down the difference between art vs. design, why intention matters, and how AI can function as an ethical tool for ideation without replacing human authorship. We talk about what changes when you don't know something was written by AI until after it moves you—and what that reveals about value, authenticity, and experience.Finally, we dive into Jewish framing: telos (“to what end?”) as a futurist discipline, the Golem of Prague as an AI parable, and a mystical counter-image: the Sar Torah—an “oracle” model for outsourced knowledge that raises a timeless question about what we gain…and what we risk losing.If you're interested in modern Jewish thought, creativity, Jewish storytelling, education, futurism, AI, and the boundary between meaning and mechanism, this one is for you.Chapters / Key MomentsWhat a “futurist” actually isJewish futurism: time, ritual, and responsibilityTorah as immersive story-space (Noach, avatars, and imagination)Martin Buber and revaluing Chassidic spiritualityAI, authorship, and the difference between art vs. designTelos: “to what end?” and the ethics of shaping futuresThe Golem of Prague, truth, and the kill-switch problemNFTs, value, and why markets love storiesFollow / SubscribeIf you enjoyed this conversation, subscribe for more long-form interviews on Jewish ideas, culture, and the questions underneath the questions.#FifthQuestion #futurism #ai #MikeWirth #aiandfaith #aiandart #judaism #religion #chatgpt

Check out our other social media here: Don't forget to check out our other socials here: https://linktree.com/IFFTV Jeff Hendrick joins Irish Football Fan TV for an honest look at the Israel boycott debate, plus a massive breakdown of the Premier League and Scottish Premiership weekend! With a World Cup playoff in Prague just around the corner, we discuss if the FAI should step in to protect the players from political fallout. But that's not all—we're diving into a wild weekend of club football:

As a Cold War kid, I remember the intense rivalry between the United States and USSR during the Olympics. Of course, we remember the US' boycott in 1980 because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. And the Soviet boycott in 1984 in response to the American boycott. Who bested who was not just about national pride. It was a testament as to who had the better system: communism or capitalism. What I didn't know then was that for Moscow, winning was everything. Losing came with consequences. Why was it so important for the Russians to win? So much so, as we saw a few years ago, at the risk of being banned for a state-run doping operation? These are just a few questions the Eurasian Knot posed to Bruce Berglund, author of The Moscow Playbook: How Russia Used, Abused, and Transformed Sports in the Hunt for Gold. I've never been much of an Olympic watcher (my sport is the NBA), but now I better understand why that hunt for gold is such a Kremlin obsession.Guest:Bruce Berglund is a historian of Europe, Russia, and world sports and teaches at Charles University in Prague. He's written several books on sports, including The Fastest Game in the World, a global history of hockey. His new book is The Moscow Playbook: How Russia Used, Abused, and Transformed Sports in the Hunt for Gold published by Triumph Books. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Baylor and Erin May tell the story of how growing up overseas, meeting in college, and trusting the Lord with each step has led to international adoption, raising their family overseas, and investing in the global community in Prague. "We just decided [that] we're going to go as far as we can until we know it's either going to work or not going to work, and it did, and that was confirmation from the Lord." -Baylor "Looking back, it's like a little light-up path we can see clearly, but we didn't really see it starting out." -Erin "The truth and the goodness of the gospel is being put on their hearts; it's up to the Lord to make those seeds grow." -Baylor "We're going to choose to love you and take care of you because that's what we believe our God does for us." -Baylor "As we all have experiences here together, we're becoming a closer family unit and we're regaining a sense of normal." -Erin "Instead of seeing something as a wall [...], try to reframe it and ride the wave." -Erin What's changing our lives: Keane: Reading books required of students Heather: Watching the Olympics Erin: Pursuing the new hobby of building miniatures Baylor: Leading people through hard decisions Weekly Spotlight: Christian International School of Prague and Go Beyond We'd love to hear from you! podcast@teachbeyond.org Podcast Website: https://teachbeyond.org/podcast Learn about TeachBeyond: https://teachbeyond.org/

David Rothstein is the CEO and Co-founder of Newsmatics, a next-generation news technology company dedicated to transforming the way organizations collect, analyze, and distribute information. Under his leadership, Newsmatics has grown to 70 employees and launched products like EIN Presswire, which processes 175,000 press releases annually, and Perspectify, a media bias tool.  David's career spans from pioneering internet publishing in 1990s Prague to building a network of 3,900 news sites and partnering with universities on innovation hackathons. He is passionate about using technology to promote transparency, combat misinformation, and help people navigate today's news landscape. In this episode… What does it take for a news technology company to survive three decades of disruption and still lead in the age of AI? From the early days of the internet to today's data-driven landscape, the rules of media have constantly changed. How do you stay relevant while the entire industry reinvents itself? David Rothstein, a pioneer in digital publishing and news technology, explains that longevity comes from listening obsessively to the market and evolving before you are forced to. He highlights the importance of shifting business models — from advertising to subscriptions to self-serve DaaS press release distribution — based on real customer demand. That adaptability allowed the company to remain independent and consistently profitable. By leveraging a massive news index, his team expanded into affinity publishing and media bias detection tools, pairing distribution with transparency. He also emphasizes building talent from within and partnering with universities through hackathons to fuel continuous innovation. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with David Rothstein, CEO and Co-founder of Newsmatics, to discuss transforming news delivery in an AI-driven world. They explore bootstrapping through the dot-com crash, pioneering self-serve DaaS press release models, and building tools that detect media bias and propaganda. David also shares insights on fostering internal talent and staying profitable while scaling innovation.
