Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Rakia's Carousel: Jovan's Tavern Tales Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/rakias-carousel-jovans-tavern-tales Story Transcript:Sr: Касно је поподне, сунце полако заставља своје зраке да грле одмарање, а дуг, врлински дан записује свој епилог.En: It is late afternoon, the sun slowly withdrawing its rays to embrace rest, while a long, virtuous day writes its epilogue.Sr: Јован, мушкарац у већим годинама, озарен љубазним осмехом, улази у једну малу, тиху кафану - тадиционалну српску, усред идиличног села Гулаш.En: Jovan, a man in his later years, illuminated by a kind smile, enters a small, quiet tavern - a traditional Serbian one, amidst the idyllic village of Gulash.Sr: Наравно, Јован је био засталник те кафане, места где је радио, заклопио очи и присећао се великих лудорија.En: Of course, Jovan was a regular at this tavern, a place where he had worked, closed his eyes, and reminisced about wild adventures.Sr: Ракија, апсолути краљ Јованових уживања, била је његова властита богиња Бачус.En: Rakia, the absolute king of Jovan's pleasures, was his personal goddess Bacchus.Sr: "Десет... не, једну ракију, молим вас," Јованов глас је био слаб, мало збуњен, са наговештајем умора.En: "Ten... no, one rakia, please," Jovan's voice was weak, slightly confused, with a hint of weariness.Sr: Конобар, новацио, није разазнао његову намеру и усмихнуо се широко, печатећи на Јованов смешак.En: The waiter, Novacio, did not discern his intent and smiled broadly, printing on Jovan's smile.Sr: То је било када је Јован видео жест: десет сјајних чаша, испуњених јаком, изазовном амброзијом златно-жуте боје.En: That's when Jovan saw the gesture: ten shiny glasses, filled with strong, enticing ambrosia of golden-yellow color.Sr: У његовим очима, то је била крајња грешка, али са друге стране, и изазов.En: In his eyes, it was the ultimate mistake, but at the same time, a challenge.Sr: Једна са другом, чаша за чашом, Јован је кренуо на пут.En: Glass by glass, Jovan embarked on the journey.Sr: Луђацки смењући се, остатак вечери је протекао у блиставом блуру смеха, песама и нередним шаљивостима отежалим од ракије.En: Madly alternating, the rest of the evening passed in a brilliant blur of laughter, songs, and chaotic jokes weighed down by rakia.Sr: Љубазни, озбиљни кафански посетиоци претворили су се у гледаоце ненамерног циркуса.En: The kind, serious tavern visitors turned into unintentional circus spectators.Sr: Конобар је гледао у неверици.En: The waiter looked on in disbelief.Sr: Али, као и све лудорије, и ова је морала да се заврши.En: But, like all escapades, this one too had to come to an end.Sr: Идуће заузете, строге долазеће дане, Јован је регуларно походио ту малу кафану.En: In the busy, stern days that followed, Jovan regularly visited that small tavern.Sr: Сваки долазак у тој кафани садржао је једну ракију, ниједну више.En: Each visit to that tavern included one rakia, not a drop more.Sr: Тамо, међу димљеним дрвеним столовима и мирисом прошлости, Јован је нашао мир и свој дом.En: There, amidst the smoky wooden tables and the scent of the past, Jovan found peace and his home.Sr: На крају, како се можда и очекивало, стари Јован је остао веран својој уживању у једној ракији.En: In the end, as perhaps expected, old Jovan remained faithful to his enjoyment of one rakia.Sr: Дакле, следи уверење, достигаш исправку, черупаш се од небитног.En: So, it follows a conviction, you reach a correction, peel off the irrelevant.Sr: Иако једноставно, ово је било срце Јованове пустоловине.En: Though simple, this was the heart of Jovan's adventure.

Imagine you are Loki (or Lucifer, or Satan, or the Deceiver) and you want to deceive the whole world.  Why not make up a story that we are mere by-products of time and chance (Evolution) and that we live on a spinning globe circling a spinning moving sun, traveling in moving galaxy among billions of galaxies in infinite space.  Repeat that story so many times in popular media, and have a professional class of high priests (University Professors) indoctrinate children into that belief. The devil's greatest strength is deception (not temptation); therefore, it is prudent to compare the Cosmology we learned in high school, college, and entertainment with that in the Word of God. (Perhaps the greatest influence is in our TV shows and movies: Star Trek, Star Wars, E.T., Dune) It is also important to note that Satan's children accused Jesus Christ (and His followers) of being a deceiver. It is a binary choice -- either Satan is the Deceiver, or Christ is the deceiver.  There is no third path. In this podcast I examine the theological facts of the Creation, with an entire day alone spent on the creation of the "Firmament," or Rakia -- that separation of the waters above from the waters below.  Fritz Berggren, PHD www.bloodandfaith.com

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Cultural Exchange at Kalemegdan: A Spirited Serbian Tradition Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/cultural-exchange-at-kalemegdan-a-spirited-serbian-tradition Story Transcript:Sr: Ана, Јована и Марко су седели у кафићу на Калемегдану, изнад ушћа две велике реке у Београду. Ана, девојка са плавим очима и бринетом, држала је белу шољу кафе. Марко, висок и косат, смешкао се углавном. Јована, најмлађа, усрдно је читала новине.En: Ana, Jovana, and Marko were sitting in a café at Kalemegdan, above the confluence of two large rivers in Belgrade. Ana, a girl with blue eyes and brunette hair, was holding a white coffee cup. Marko, tall and hairy, was mostly smiling. Jovana, the youngest, was diligently reading the newspaper.Sr: На њихов сто су стигли странац Кирк и његова жена Сара. Били су из Сједињених Америчких Држава. Ана, Јована и Марко одлучили су да им покажу праву српску традицију.En: At their table arrived the foreigners Kirk and his wife Sarah. They were from the United States of America. Ana, Jovana, and Marko decided to show them the true Serbian tradition.Sr: "Ово је ракија." Марко је подигао чашу прозирног пића. Кирк и Сара су гледали у чауду.En: "This is rakia." Marko raised a glass of transparent liquid. Kirk and Sarah looked at it in wonder.Sr: "Ракија је јако пиће, драги гости." Ана је узела другу чашу и пружила је Сари. Сара је узела чашу, устрептала.En: "Rakia is a strong drink, dear guests." Ana took another glass and offered it to Sarah. Sarah took the glass, trembling.Sr: "Овај алкохол се прави од воћа. Може бити од крушке, јабуке, шљиве...", Јована је почела да објашњава, али је запрепашћено гледала када је Кирк испио сву ракију одједном.En: "This alcohol is made from fruit. It can be made from pear, apple, plum..." Jovana began to explain but was astonished when Kirk drank all the rakia at once.Sr: Весели звук смеха је ехо у кафићу. Ана, Јована i Марко су се смејали, а Сара је кикићала. Кирк је кашљао. Није знао шта га је снашло.En: The cheerful sound of laughter echoed in the café. Ana, Jovana, and Marko were laughing, while Sarah giggled. Kirk coughed. He didn't know what had happened to him.Sr: "Пије се по мало, драги Киркю", Марко је још увек се смејао. "Ракија је снажна, али и ми, Срби, смо снажни."En: "One should drink a little at a time, dear Kirk," Marko was still laughing. "Rakia is strong, but we Serbians are strong too."Sr: Усред смеха и сала, странци су напокон опипали бит српске традиције. Када су веровали да могу строго да консумирају јак алкохол, троје домаћина су им приредили прекрасно изненађење. Тада су сви схватили да култура може бити и забава и научна.En: Amidst laughter and jokes, the foreigners finally experienced a taste of Serbian tradition. When they believed they could handle consuming strong alcohol, the three hosts gave them a delightful surprise. That's when they all realized that culture can be both fun and educational.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Dance, Rakia, and Friendship: A Serbian Tale Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/dance-rakia-and-friendship-a-serbian-tale Story Transcript:Sr: Jedne tople večeri, u staroj kafani u srcu Srbije, svetlucavi fenjeri osvetljavali su lica veselih ljudi.En: One warm evening, in an old tavern in the heart of Serbia, the sparkling lanterns illuminated the faces of cheerful people.Sr: Milica, sa pletenicom do struka, igrala je kolo sa svojim prijateljima, Nikolom i Petrom.En: Milica, with a braid down to her waist, danced the circle dance with her friends, Nikola and Petar.Sr: Muzika je bila glasna, a zvuci harmonike mešali su se sa smehom i čašama koje su zveckale.En: The music was loud, and the sounds of the accordion mingled with laughter and the clinking of glasses.Sr: Nikola, čovek širokog osmeha i toplih očiju, bio je poznat kao najbolji igrač u selu.En: Nikola, a man with a wide smile and warm eyes, was known as the best dancer in the village.Sr: Njegov beli košulja blistao je pod svetlom kao znak da je večeras nešto posebno.En: His white shirt gleamed under the light as a sign that something special was happening tonight.Sr: Petar, najstariji od njih troje, tapsao je po ramenu mladog Nikolu, bodreći ga da zaigra srcem.En: Petar, the oldest of the three, patted the young Nikola on the shoulder, urging him to dance with his heart.Sr: Milica, uhvaćena u ritmu pesme, nije ni primetila kako se približava Nikoli sa čašom rakije u ruci.En: Caught up in the rhythm of the song, Milica hadn't even noticed Nikola approaching her with a shot of rakia in his hand.Sr: Njeno kretanje bilo je slobodno i razigrano, ali jedan neočekivani pokret učinio je da rakija prsne i umrlja Nikolino čisto belo platno.En: Her movements were free and playful, but an unexpected move caused the rakia to splash and stain Nikola's pristine white fabric.Sr: Muzika je na trenutak utihnula, a sve oči bile su uprte u njih.En: The music momentarily fell silent, and all eyes were on them.Sr: "Ljubavi, oprosti! Bilo je nehotice!" uzviknula je Milica, zarumenela od stida.En: "Love, I'm sorry! It was unintentional!" exclaimed Milica, blushing with embarrassment.Sr: Srce joj je tuklo od brige kako će Nikola reagovati, dok je kapljice rakije mirisale u vazduhu.En: Her heart raced with worry about how Nikola would react, while the scent of rakia lingered in the air.Sr: Nikola je zastao, gledajući svoju mokru košulju, a onda se razlegao njegov zarazan smeh.En: Nikola paused, looking at his wet shirt, then his infectious laughter rang out.Sr: "Nema veze, Milice!", rekao je dok je vadio maramicu iz džepa da obriše štetu.En: "It's okay, Milica!" he said as he pulled a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the damage.Sr: "Samo neka je veselje, a košulja se može oprati."En: "As long as there's joy, the shirt can be washed."Sr: I tada je Petar, mudar kao i uvek, podigao svoju čašu uvis i rekao, "Da se nećka nošenja, nego dobrog druženja! Nek se piće prosipa, ako će ljubav da kvasi naša srca."En: Then Peter, wise as always, raised his glass and said, "Better to spill the drink than to hesitate, good company is what matters! Let the drink spill, if it will moisten our hearts with love."Sr: Ljudi su se ponovo nasmejali i podstaknuti Petrom, brzo su nastavili da igraju, čak življe nego pre.En: People laughed again, and encouraged by Peter, they quickly continued the dance, even more lively than before.Sr: Milica je ispružila ruku prema Nikoli, a on ju je primio i povukao nazad u kolo.En: Milica reached out to Nikola, and he took her hand and pulled her back into the circle.Sr: Noć je odmicala, a kolo je postajalo sve šire; rakija se opet punila, ali ovoga puta čvršće u ruci.En: As the night progressed, the circle grew wider; the rakia was filled again, but this time held more tightly.Sr: Kroz smeh i igru, tri prijatelja su učvrstila vezu, shvativši da su nezgode deo života i da su trenuci provedeni zajedno vredniji od bilo koje mrlje na košulji.En: Through laughter and dance, the three friends strengthened their bond, realizing that mishaps are part of life and that moments spent together are more valuable than any stain on a shirt.Sr: Kada je zora obasjala nebo, kafana je još uvek bila puna radosti.En: As dawn lit up the sky, the tavern was still full of joy.Sr: Milica, Nikola i Petar izašli su na svež vazduh, srećni što su deo ovog šarenog tepiha tradicije i prijateljstva.En: Milica, Nikola, and Petar stepped outside into the fresh air, happy to be part of this colorful tapestry of tradition and friendship.Sr: I dok su se prvi zraci sunca probijali kroz grane starih hrastova, znali su da će ova noć ostati u sećanju - ne po prosutoj rakiji, već po plesu koji je ujedinio srca.En: And as the first rays of the sun broke through the branches of the old oaks, they knew that this night would be remembered - not for the spilled rakia, but for the dance that united their hearts.

"Preduzetništvo je rollercoaster vožnja koju ne možeš da odbiješ." U 177. epizodi Pojačalo podkasta gost Ivana Minića je Branko Nešić, serijski preduzetnik i osnivač Rakia Bara, Belgrade Urban Distillery, te pokretač Beogradskog noćnog marketa. Brankov preduzetnički put počinje davnih 90-ih, kada je privatan biznis tek bio u povoju, i to sa malom trgovinskom radnjom, Vesela dolina, koja je nastala preuređivanjem starog dedinog podruma. Kako je izgledalo baviti se preduzetništvom tih sumornih godina, govori Branko za početak podkasta. Umesto samoposluge, to mesto je 2006. godine postalo poprište Rakia bara, kada je Branko odlučio da tradicionalno piće poput rakije predstavi u potpuno drugom svetlu. Zašto je baš odabrao rakiju, na koliko osporavanja je naišao tokom realizacije ideje i kako je izašao na kraj sa time, te kako se pravila selekcija rakije u baru, otkriva gost u nastavku. U međuvremenu, serijski preduzetnik se oprobao i kao proizvođač rakije, što mu je i te kako pošlo za rukom, pa kao posledica toga otvorena je Beogradska destilerija. Šta je sve potrebno za kvalitetnu rakiju, kako je došao na zamisao o Banci rakije, te sa kojim mukama se susreo prilikom franšizinga Rakia bara, Branko deli sa slušaocima i gledaocima. Za kraj on govori na temu Beogradskog noćnog marketa, koji je pokrenuo sa franšizing partnerima iz Zemuna, te bez ustručavanja priča zašto Beogradski market nije bio uspešan projekat. Teme u epizodi: - Uvod - Kad porastem biću... - (Ne)formalni uzori - Kako je biti preduzetnik 90-ih u Srbiji? - Ono kada ti svi osporavaju ideju za Rakia bar - Kako se pravila i menjala selekcija rakije tokom godina? - Zašto je Branko izabrao baš rakiju? - Kako je došlo do ekspanzije rakije? - Branko kao proizvođač rakije i Beogradska destilerija - Prilike i neprilike za franšizingom - Kako je nastao Beogradski noćni market? - Zašto Beogradski market nije uspeo? - Kakvi su planovi za dalje? - Kakva je situacija sa izvozom rakije?

Reflection of Us @ City Neighbors hosts Dallas, Jada, and Rakia interview Marty McNair, Founder of The Jordan McNair Foundation, about coping with the loss of his son after suffering from a heat-related injury and his mission to advocate for the safety of student athletes. 

In recent years, many vodka distilleries have relied on the marketing buzzwords such as clean, crisp, and pure, but there are few that can back up these claims as fully as Reyka vodka. Distilled on the west coast of Iceland in the shadows of the majestic Mt. Hafnarfjall. The distillery is part of a land like no other, a land of Vikings, volcanoes and crystal glacier waters. To find out more, we talked to US brand ambassador Trevor Schneider, about stills, geothermal power and flavour in vodka. 

In this episode we preview the upcoming action in Florida, we debate over which the team The Rock should sponsor in F1 and we discuss the alcohol content in Rakia.

This week's guest on the She Did That. podcast, Rakia Reynolds, is one THE HIGHEST vibrating women I know. As a mom, wife, advisor, founder of two businesses, Sky Blue Media and Evryday Jane, you'd probably have to guzzle down a few cups of coffee to keep up with this lady's energy. Rakia's business is the PR agency of record for tennis champion and entrepreneur Serena Williams, model Ashley Graham, and tech giant, Dell, so you know this sister is doing her communications thing but today, we're tapping into her tech wisdom. We're talking Web 3, the metaverse, NFT's, crypto wallets, and what Black women need to know so that we can stay ahead of the curve.  Produced by Dear Media

When I sat down to speak with Rakia Reynolds - thought leader, tastemaker and gamechanger - about AUGMENTED REALITY for this episode, I had no idea how many ways I'd been using AR for years plus its infinite potential to enhance my business. I'm still processing all the ways Rakia opened my eyes and blew my mind during our conversation. If you've ever used a filter on social media or zoom to change your appearance, viewed real estate virtually using a 360° tool, or uploaded an image of yourself to an eyeglass company's website to see what shape frames work best on your face, you've been using AR too. Rakia has the extraordinary gift of simplifying, demystifying, defining value and meeting the listener where they are. It's no surprise that as the Founder, Executive Officer and Strategist par excellence of Skai Blue Media, the multimedia communications agency she founded 15 years ago, she has been ahead of trends, building impactful brands for creative businesses and individuals including Airbnb, Comcast, Dell, Serena Williams, Morgan Stanley, Jill Scott, and more. Rakia's portfolio includes #FanofYourBrand(tactical business tools), clothing brand EVRYDAY Jane, and an ethical intelligence platform set to launch in 2021. She has been named by Inc. Magazine as one of the 27 Business Leaders Aiming to Change the World, was listed as one of the 25 Most Socially Influential Tastemakers on Dell's “Inspire 100” list, and recently was also profiled by Forbes on their “Next 1000” list.  Follow Rakia on IG at @rakiyareynolds and learn more about her company at www.skaibluemedia.com.

In this episode, we spend a day in the life of artist Rakia McDowell. As a member of a community who has come together to live and work in ways that enable them to be more whole, Rakia determines her own schedule, buys from thriving local businesses, exchanges resources and skills via a sharing economy, and follows her heart. Could a life in which work is healing and restorative—rather than demanding—be one leap away? Tune in and find out!

Branko Nešić je gost Vladimira Stankovića u 32. epizodi podcasta Biznis Priče.

What happens when we wake up every day knowing that we are intentionally here and love solving problems more than anything? Tim Lockie and Tracy Kronzak are joined by guest Rakia Finley, Founding Partner at Copper & Vine Studio, Co for Why IT Matters: Find the Light. You’re probably like Rakia, a successful entrepreneur and advocate for taking on tough challenges, discussions, and circumstances head-on. The other title for this episode could be “Comfortable in Our Own Soul,” because Rakia digs deep on both her personal and professional journey and how these have enabled her to find win-win opportunities in her work. Rakia has also created a restoration and executive leadership retreat called By Grace to help entrepreneurs rest, recenter, reconnect, and (re)find their intentionality. We also talk about the lack of accountability structures that permit racism and other biases to continue to perpetuate in the corporate world and paths forward that begin with transforming anger, playing on teams, and creating actionable space for new leaders.

Working with Rakia and her team has been so aligned and intentional for our team, and it's been so exciting building, learning and growing with each other.

Rakia has spoken at The 7th Annual Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network Summit and is a featured Forbes writers, featured in Essence, Launch Communications Director for Becoming Self Made and appears on HSN as Serena Williams' brand representative.  Source: Rules of the road on your journey to success|Rakia Reynolds TedXBarnard College skaibluemedia.com  @rakiareynolds @SkaiBlueMedia Connect with us: www.hellodare2be.com Instagram @daring2beme Intro/Outro Music by @ishthisthat www.thisthatish.com

Pozdravi from Slovenia!   To kick-off my visit, I decided to take a free walking tour of the capital city of Ljubljana. I always enjoy walking tours in each city I travel to as they're a really cool way to get more familiar with the area and its history. The tour guide spoke English very well and had a good sense of humour which made the walk through the small city highly enjoyable.    We visited Ljubljana's famous Triple Bridge and caught the sights and sounds of the cosy and car-less city centre. Along the river, there are plenty of bars and quaint restaurants where locals and tourists alike flock to in the evenings.    Ljubljana is home to around 300,000 inhabitants, making it one of Europe's smallest capital cities. Slovenia was the first of the former Yugoslavian countries to gain independence in 1991 and 2004 became a member of the United Nations.    But before I get stuck into my adventure, here are a few more facts about where I am:   10 FUN FACTS ABOUT SLOVENIA Slovenia is the only country in the world with LOVE in their name. And the capital, Ljubljana, translates to ‘The Loved One'. Slovenians love bees. There are around 90,000 beekeepers in a population of just two million – that's one in 20 people. It is tiny. Slovenia covers less than 0.004% of the Earth's surface and has a population of just a little over 2 million. The capital, Ljubljana, is the country's largest city but is also small compared to other European cities with less than 300,000 inhabitants. It's one of the world's most environmentally friendly nations, according to The Environmental Performance Index. The index indicates which countries are meeting internationally established environmental targets. Only four nations are better: Finland, Iceland, Sweden, and you guessed it: Denmark. A remarkable 53.6% of Slovenia is protected land, the 2nd highest percentage than any nation on earth behind Venezuela. With more than half of its total area covered in forest, Slovenia really is one of the greenest countries in the world. In fact, Ljubljana was named Europe's Greenest Capital in 2016. And more than 500 brown bears roam the Slovenian forests.  The people are tall and old. Slovenia has one of the tallest populations on the planet, with a typical male measuring an average of 1.8 m (5.9 feet) tall. Additionally, the average Slovenian age is 43.5 years old, making it also one of the oldest populations in Europe.  There's one winery or vineyard for every 70-75 people and in Maribor they have the world's oldest vine which is 400 years old. Slovenians love wine: they are the 6th biggest consumer of wine in the world per capita. Slovenia has a tiny coastline spanning a meagre 46km (30 miles).  You can spend a night in a Ljubljanan jail without doing a crime. Hostel Celica is an old prison where the cells have been renovated into rooms, but it still has the same appearance as a prison cell.  Slovenia has the world's largest ski jump. Planica is an epic place for ski-lovers, especially if you like heights. The ski jump is legendary and many world records have been set here.   MEET WINE MAN SASO PAPP The next day, I met up with my good Slovenian friend, Saso Papp. He runs an online business selling wine across Europe. It's kinda funny that the rest of the Balkans drink Rakia but as I mentioned above, Slovenians really love wine.  “It's true that Slovenia has many vineyards. Although I have some vines, I personally don't have a vineyard, but most people I know do. The problem with having so many vineyards is that the wine can turn out to be bad if you are not careful. In the Balkans, most people brew their own Rakia, and in Slovenia most people make their own wine” Saso says. “With a Slovenian population of 2 million people, about 30,000 are winegrowers – 3,000 of which are professional winemakers and bottlers. Additionally, we have over 200 winemakers that make sparkling wine which is very rare for such a small population". Saso explains that the Slovenian climate is perfect for winemaking, as Slovenia sits on a similar line of latitude with southern France's famed wine regions. Slovenia's microclimate also plays an important role. “We have a perfect climate in the Western part of the country which borders Italy and the Adriatic Sea, bringing warmth. In the Eastern region of Slovenia, we make fresh, crisp white wines thanks to the cooler temperatures.” Saso tells me more about Slovenia's 400-year-old vine which is named the oldest vine in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records. The vine was discovered not long-ago during renovations in a forgotten part of the city of Maribor. The vine was carbon dated and is currently the world's oldest vine still producing grapes.   SIMILARITIES BETWEEN SASO AND ME I know Saso from the radio industry. We've met many times over the years at various radio conferences around the world and have become good friends through our love for radio. I realised that we have a lot in common: Saso was a Group Program Director where he programmed 17 local radio stations. I'm a co-founder and co-owner of a group of radio stations that run 17 local radio stations.  He quit a good job because you got tired of working for an idiot. I did the exact same thing.  He was part of a successful morning show, and so was I (even though the station he was on was a national commercial radio station fighting with a station he helped create). Both of us have left life behind a radio station life. However, we both continue to do voiceovers and consult to radio stations, plus we're both podcasters now. All because the passion never dies… We are both old farts.   VINOO.CO Saso was in morning radio for almost 15 years before leaving the radio scene in 2013 to start his own mobile radio app business. He then turned his love for wine into a new business aimed at helping local winemakers market their products to a global audience.  Saso created Vinoo, a wine selling platform that matches Slovenian winemakers with customers who can browse and order local wines from anywhere in the world. Find your Radio Vagabond discount for Vinoo.co at the end of this post. I'M FAMOUS IN SLOVENIA On Tuesday morning, I made my way to a local radio station where I was scheduled to have 2 interviews to talk about my life as a digital nomad. Then I met up with Janez Usenik, a journalist from the national TV station 24UR, who interviewed me on the street. Check out the full interview here.  And it was funny to see myself on national TV that same night. When I stepped on the plane the next morning, the guy in the seat next to me looked at me a few times and then said, “Aren't you the homeless guy I saw on TV last night?”How weird is that to be recognised by a random stranger. I guess I'm famous in Slovenia now…   SASO ABOUT THE EARLY YEARS When Slovenia broke out of Yugoslavia, Saso was in his early 20's. He tells me more about what it was like to grow up during that time. “We were lucky that Slovenia didn't experience much of the harsh realities of the conflict apart from minor skirmishes over a period of 10 days. At that time, I was conscripted to the army but thankfully I was not involved in any warfare”. After gaining independence, Slovenia struggled to gain strong financial footing. However, Slovenia is currently boasting the highest GDP of all countries previously part of Yugoslavia. From this, a popular Slovenian saying emerged, saying “We are the best in the village” referring to the other ex-Yugoslavian territories. The saying has evolved to form a second part, “But we are the worst in the city” referring to Slovenia being the first of the territories to be included in the European Union. Saso jokes that Slovenians like to think of themselves as the best of the ex-Yugoslavian countries, largely because they drink lots of wine and are considered the northern part of the Balkans, but the southern part of Europe. It was great catching up with my old friend. I hope our paths cross again soon.   METELKOVA ART CENTRE If you're into street art, you should definitely visit Metelkova Art Centre, also known as Metelkova mesto. It is an alternative culture centre in Ljubljana, developed from a squat in a former army barracks and is one of the best-known attractions of Ljubljana. It's home to a large number of clubs hosting concerts, club nights, and one-off club events featuring underground artists and DJs from around the world.  The centre also hosts art performances, exhibitions, and a festival from time-to-time.  The history of Metelkova mesto as a cultural centre goes back to 1993, when the northern part of the barracks complex was squatted by a group of about 200 volunteers. The initiative came from an independent association of mainly underground artists and intellectuals known as Metelkova Network to stop the abandoned army complex from being pulled down.  Being a thriving place for a free creative spirit, the complex is undergoing constant change. I visited on a quiet afternoon but was still a very interesting place to visit. I took a lot of pictures of the street art that you can find below - but not the people. There was a sign saying “No photos of people. This is not a zoo.” So, remember to respect that when you go.  As I was packing my bags for my next journey, I saw Melania Trump on the TV addressing Americans from the White House. Melania is Slovenian, and when I asked the funny tour guide if this fact has boosted tourism in Slovenia, his answer said it all “Hmmm...no, not really.” Until next time - my name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving.   GET YOUR VONOO.CO WINE DISCOUNT HERE Just go to vinoo.co and use the promo code "RADIOVAGABOND15" to get 15% off and free shipping all over Europe if you buy 6 bottles or more from the same winemaker.

Tag med til den sidste del af min Balkan rejse, hvor jeg besøger Slovenien og hovedstaden Ljubljana. Som jeg gør ofte, gør starter jeg med en Free Walking Tour for at gøre mig bekendt med en hovedstad. 10 FUN FACTS OM SLOVENIEN Slovenien er det eneste land I verden med LOVE i deres navn. Og deres hovedstad, Ljubljana kan oversættes til ‘The Loved One’. Slovenerne er vilde med bier. Der er omkring 90.000 biavlere i et land med en befolkning på bare 2 millioner. Det er en ud af 20 mennesker. Det er et meget lille land. Deres areal er mindre end 0,004% af verdens overflade og som nævnt en befolkning på bare 2 millioner. Deres største by og hovedstad, Ljubljana er også meget lille: Mindre end 300.000 mennesker bor her. Det er en af verdens mest miljøvenlige lande ifølge The Environmental Performance Index. Det er en liste, der afspejler om et land møde det internationale miljømål. Kun fire lande i verden gør det bedre: Finland, Island, Sverige og Danmark. Hele 53,6% af Slovenien er beskyttet land. Det er en højere procentdel end noget andet land i verden – med undtagelse af Venezuela. Med mere en halvdelen af landet dækket i skove er det også et af de grønneste lande i verden – og Ljubljana blev kåret som Europas grønneste hovedstad i 2016. Desuden er der mere end 500 brune bjørne, der lever frit i deres sjove. De er høje, gamle og elsker vin. Er der en sammenhæng? Slovenerne er et af de 10 højeste nationer i verden – en gennemsnitsmand er 1,8 m og de er et af de 10 ældste nationer i verden med en gennemsnitsalder på 43,5 år. Der er en vingård for hver 70-75 personer og i Maribor har de verdens ældste træ, der stadig har druer. Det er mere end 400 år gammel. Slovenerne er også vilde med at drikke vin. De har det 6. højeste vinforbrug per person. Slovenien har en lille kystlinje – på bare 46 km. Du kan komme I fængsel i Ljubljana – uden at gøre noget ulovligt. Hostel Celica er et nedlagt fængsel, hvor cellerne er lavet om til værelser. De ligner stadig fængselsceller, så det er en meget speciel oplevelse. Slovenien har verdens højeste skihop. Planica er et fantastisk sted, hvis du er vild med at stå på ski. Specielt hvis du kan lide højder. Selve skihopbakken er legendarisk og der er sat rigtig mange verdensrekorder her.   MØD VINMANDEN SASO PAPP Jeg møder min gode slovenske ven, Saso Papp. Han driver et firma, der hedder vinoo.co, som sælger vin online. Ikke kun til sine landsmænd, men også til resten af Europa. Det er lidt sjovt, at slovenerne er så vilde med vin, når resten af Balkanlandene primært drikker Rakia. I min samtale med Saso nævner han, at han vil gerne give en speciel rabat til dig som lytter. Gå til vinoo.co og brug promo-koden "RADIOVAGABOND15" for at få 15% rabat og fri fragt til hele Europa, når du bestiller mindst 6 flasker fra den samme vingård. Denne kode virker i 1 år (indtil 18. november 2021) og kun én gang pr. bruger – så bestil nu rigeligt.   I DE SLOVENSKE MEDIER Den næste dag har jeg to interviews linet op. Et på radio og senere mødes jeg med journalist Janez Usenik fra den nationale TV station, 24UR. Vi lavede interviewet på gaden, og du kan se det her: https://www.24ur.com/video/62077414 Det var lidt sjovt at se mig selv på national TV den samme aften, og da jeg dagen efter kom ind i flyet sagde min sidemand til mig: ”Sig mig, er du ikke ham den hjemløse, jeg så på TV i aftes?” METELKOVA ART CENTRE Ljubljana har noget, der minder meget om Christiania. Og hvis du er vild med gadekunst, skal du helt klart besøge dette sted, som hedder Metelkova Art Centre – eller Metelkova Mesto. Det er et alternativt kulturcenter lige midt i byen og startede som et BZ’er område i en tidligere militærbarak. Det er et af det mest kendte attraktioner I byen. Der er mange natklubber, der har koncerter og aftener med undergrundskunstnere og DJs fra hele verden. Der er også kunstudstillinger, happenings og en lille festival nu og da. Metelkova Mestos historie om kulturelt center startede i 1993, da den nordlige del af barakkerne blev besat af omkring 200 mennesker. Initiativet kom fra en uafhængig organisation, der hed Metelkova Network, og deres formål var at stoppe den forladte militærbarak i at blive revet ned. Det er et meget kreativt område i konstant forandring. Jeg var her en stille eftermiddag, men det var stadig et meget interessant sted at besøge. Jeg har taget en masse billeder, du kan se på RadioVagabond.dk – men ingen billeder af mennesker. Der er nemlig et skilt hvor der står “Ingen billeder af mennesker. Dette er ikke en zoo”. Så husk at respektere det, når du besøger det. Alt i alt var Slovenien endnu en stor oplevelse. Mit navn er Palle Bo, og jeg skal videre.

This week we‘re back to our more lighthearted and ratchet ways, as we reprieve from the anxieties of the election. We chop it up with guest Rakia, we highlight her accomplishments, get ratchet and in her business but have classic Static Energy fun. Enjoy!
