Why do people give? What does generosity really mean, and what shapes charitable behavior in Slovakia compared to other countries? To explore these questions, we speak with experimental and behavioral economist Matej Lorko. We discuss what behavioral economics reveals about human decision-making, how economists study altruism in laboratory settings, and whether charitable giving is driven more by empathy, moral values, or subtle forms of self-interest. We also examine how experimental research can inform public policy, support the nonprofit sector, and deepen our understanding of cooperation, trust, and prosocial behavior in modern societies. The new episode of Slovak Sound Check explores grammatical gender and polite forms of address in Slovak.

In this next episode I was pleased to be joined by one of Slovakia's best players in LET Access Series pro Miska Vavrova after a solid 2025 season which saw 5 Top 10 finishes including 3rd at Allegria Ladies Open in Austria, 4th at Himmerland in Denmark, 5th at Hauts De France, 9th at Islantilla Open in Spain & 9th at Lavaux in Switzerland. It also included a T21st at Czech Ladies Challenge where Michaela was in the final group in contention playing alongside the one and only Sára Kousková and although it wasn't the finish the Slovak star was wanting it was an experience that will live long I the memory especially after Sara winning back to back LET titles at Jabra Ladies Open & Tenerife Womens Open.  Michaela also known as Miska is from the small town of Bojnice in Slovakia and would play the game through her grandparents at an early age. During her junior career Michaela has played multiple times for Slovakian National Team at European Ladies Am Team Championships & played at Le Golf National at 2022 Espirito Santo Trophy. Michaela is a 2x Slovak Player of the Year and 2023 Slovakian National Champion. During her time at University of Nebraska, Miska would enjoy her time there and would win Big Ten Sportsmanship award in 2024. Before Michaela would turn pro in 2024 she would finish T12th at Czech Ladies Challenge in 2022 on LETAS, would gain a start at 2023 Belgian Ladies Open on LET and would finish 2nd at her home country event in 2024 on Access Series. 2025 would see Michaela finish 18th on LET Access Series Order of Merit standings after some solid displays. We also talk about Slovak golf and how she has high hopes for more Slovakian talent to come through to join her & Katarina Drocarova on LETAS tour with some advice to any players looking to take up the game in English & in her native Slovakian. Had lots of fun and laughs in the episode with Miska and I wish her all the best in South Africa for the warm up on Sunshine Ladies Tour before LETAS season kicks off in Morocco in April. Thanks Michaela for a great chat. Download via Podbean, Apple Podcasts & Spotify, also on YouTube!

On the February 16, 2026 episode of  the Little Column A, A Little Column B Podcast, hosts Willie Alimonos and Zach Bishop break down one of the strangest and most debate-heavy weeks in sports. From an Olympic fugitive story to NBA tanking fines, college basketball fights, NFL ownership debates, and even a Daytona 500 milestone, this episode blends hard takes, humor, and real conversations about accountability and the fan experience. The show opens with a bizarre Olympic anecdote — a Slovak man on the run for 16 years arrested while trying to attend a hockey game — which sparks a larger discussion about the rising cost of attending live sports and when fans will finally choose the couch over the arena. NBA All-Star Weekend gets a full breakdown, with Willie and Zach debating whether the new target-score format actually improved effort and watchability. They highlight standout moments from Victor Wembanyama and Kawhi Leonard, Damian Lillard's three-point win, and the Chris Paul skills challenge controversy. From there, the conversation turns serious: Adam Silver's response to tanking, fines handed down to teams like Utah and Indiana, and what real structural changes (draft reform? moving the trade deadline?) could fix the problem. College basketball coverage dives into on-court fights, dangerous plays, and Jerome Tang's firing after a brutally honest press conference at Kansas State. The hosts preview major matchups, assess draft prospects like Darren Peterson and Cameron Boozer, and break down Florida's resurgence and the shifting NCAA landscape. NFL talk includes a full betting season recap, the Tyreek Hill release and potential landing spots, and a spirited debate over NFL team report cards, workplace perks, and owner accountability. The episode also touches on Michael Jordan's Daytona 500 ownership milestone, an Olympic curling cheating controversy between Canada and Sweden, a canceled ski-jump round due to weather, and how Peacock's “Gold Zone” coverage is shaping Olympic viewing habits. Throughout the episode, Willie and Zach debate responsibility, league overreach, fan value, and what would actually make sports better to watch — or attend — in 2026.

Hlavnou témou najnovšej epizódy podcastu Góly z bufetu na ŠPORT.sk boli blížiace sa zimné olympijské hry v Taliansku. Pozvanie Mareka Marušiaka a Tomáša Prokopa prijal bývalý slovenský reprezentačný obranca a majster sveta z Göteborgu Ľubomír Višňovský. V rozhovore otvorene porozprával o vlastných olympijských skúsenostiach, sile súčasného slovenského tímu aj o tom, prečo netreba mať prehnané očakávania.Úvod podcastu patril spomienkam na olympijské hry, ktoré 49-ročný Slovak absolvoval počas svojej bohatej kariéry. V diskusii zaznelo, že hoci ide o výnimočné podujatie, z pohľadu hokejistu je olympiáda špecifická aj tým, že športovci fungujú v uzavretom režime a často ani nemajú možnosť spoznať dejisko hier tak, ako by si želali.„Dá sa povedať, že počas celej tej olympiády športovci žijú v takej bubline. Hlavné táto zimná je strašne rozťahaná. Ideš len autobusom medzi dedinou, štadiónom a naspäť, v podstate si tam takto žiješ dva týždne,” zaspomínala si niekdajšia hviezda zámorskej NHL.Časť rozhovoru sa prirodzene venovala aj pamätnému turnaju vo Vancouveri, kde slovenskí reprezentanti prišli o medailu doslova na poslednú chvíľu. Podľa Ľubomíra Višňovského išlo o bolestivý moment pre celú generáciu, ktorá mala reálnu šancu zapísať sa do histórie ešte výraznejšie. V podcaste uviedol, že rozhodujúce faktory boli kombináciou tlaku, emócií a nezvládnutých detailov.Diskusia sa následne presunula k súčasnej reprezentácii a blížiacej sa olympiáde v Taliansku. Rodák z Topoľčian sa na zostavu pozerá realisticky. Ocenil jej vyváženosť, no zároveň otvorene hovoril o rozdieloch oproti ére, keď Slovensko disponovalo väčším počtom lídrov zo zámorskej NHL. Podľa jeho slov môže tím uspieť najmä vďaka disciplíne, fyzickej hre a dobrému načasovaniu formy.„Máme veľmi dobre vyskladaný tím, ale nemáme toľko kvalitných hráčov z NHL, aby sme mohli konkurovať tým najlepším. Ale ak si podržíme oslabenia, presilovky a bude to podporené aj výkonom brankára, tak si myslím, že budeme hrať veľmi vyrovnaný hokej,” zdôraznil bývalý obranca Los Angeles Kings, Anaheimu Ducks, Edmontonu Oilers či New Yorku Islanders.Reč bola aj o jednotlivých hviezdnych menách v tíme, najmä o Jurajovi Slafkovskom, Šimonovi Nemcovi či Martinovi Fehérvárym. Ľubomír Višňovský vyzdvihol ich potenciál, no pripomenul, že olympijský turnaj na menšom klzisku je mimoriadne náročný a rozhodujú často detaily, ktoré sa nedajú natrénovať. Čo tým myslel, sa dozviete v najnovšej epizóde podcastu Góly z bufetu na ŠPORT.sk.

In this show, we explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping education in Slovakia through the official AI in Education initiative (ai.iedu.sk). While AI tools are increasingly present in classrooms and at home, their use raises important questions about teaching practices, fairness, and the role of human educators. We speak with two experts: Miron Zelina, a psychologist and university professor specializing in education and youth development, and Radoslav Baťo Varga, Head of the AI in Education Project and advisor to the Ministry of Education. Together, they discuss what responsible AI use means for students and teachers, how schools can connect technological potential and practical challenges, and what skills young people will need to thrive in a rapidly changing learning environment.

International cooperation, digital skills and real-life learning define the European eTwinning platform, which has been part of Slovak schools for more than 20 years. To we explore how Europe's largest online community of schools connects teachers and students across borders through projects that develop key competences for life in the 21st century we speak with Katarína Hrbáňová, coordinator of eTwinning Slovakia, the National Support Organisation based at the University of Žilina, and Ivana Bršťáková, an English teacher at Business Academy Dudova in Bratislava, who presents her award-winning project Eco-Heritage: Cultures United for Nature. The project won third place in the Slovak National eTwinning Competition 2025 in the secondary school category and brought together students from Slovakia, Spain and Turkey to explore cultural heritage, environmental protection and eco-tourism. As always, the programme includes a new edition of our language corner, Slovak Sound Check.

This year, Mira Tus Manos — the solo project of Argentine producer Cristian Estrella — released a new album titled The Future Sounds of Slovakia. The record journeys through Slovakia's rich folkloric traditions and regional cultures, but with a modern twist. Each expansive track, created in collaboration with musicians from around the globe, fuses traditional Slovak sounds with diverse influences from world music. In this episode, we dive into The Future Sounds of Slovakia and its companion film Medzi dolinami, Medzi vrski with Cristian Estrella. Together, we'll explore how cross-cultural collaboration shapes music across borders — and uncover what astronauts and the ancient Slovak flute, the fujara, have in common.

What happens when art confronts indifference, fear, and political inertia? We talk with Tomáš Eštok, founder of Spare Parts Theater, Bohdan Metenkanych, director of their upcoming production The Normal Heart, and Seán MacDiarmada, actor and co-host of Slovak Sound Check, about their unique English-language theatre in Slovakia and its strong social and political commentary. The conversation centres on The Normal Heart, Larry Kramer's powerful play about the AIDS crisis, and its renewed — and at times surprising — relevance in post-pandemic Slovakia. As always, the programme concludes with a new edition of our language corner, Slovak Sound Check.

In Slovakia, Boxing Day is not observed; instead, the second day of Christmas is celebrated. In the Slovak calendar, this day is dedicated to St Stephen. Who are some other notable figures named Štefan in Slovakia? One such example is the sculptor Štefan Papčo, whose latest artwork was installed in Bratislava in June 2025. Martina Greňová Šimkovičová will also guide you to Pruské, where parish clerk František Hlaváč presents the history of the local nativity scene.

On this episode of Slovakia Today, we celebrate Christmas Eve by exploring the rich traditions that shape the Slovak holiday season, from festive village markets to time-honoured foods and handmade decorations. We visit a local Christmas market in western Slovakia to discover how artisans keep traditions alive through crafts such as oplatky, honey products, ornaments, and locally grown Christmas trees, highlighting the role of community and sustainability in a Slovak Christmas. Later in the programme, we look beyond Slovakia's borders to see how these cherished customs are preserved abroad. We travel to Canada and the United States to meet members of the Slovak diaspora who continue to celebrate Štedrý večer, sharing stories of family, food, and faith, and showing how resilience and community spirit help keep Slovak Christmas traditions alive far from home.

The Christmas season invites us to slow down, look around, and think of others. We take a closer look at charitable initiatives and nonprofit projects that aim to make Christmas a little brighter for people in Slovakia facing difficult life circumstances, whether through social disadvantage, exclusion, or vulnerability. Through conversations with Simona Stančeková, project coordinator of Vianočný zázrak, Katarína Barošová, media manager at Človek v ohrození behind the Skutočný darček project, Silvia Slobodová, co-founder of Koľko lásky sa zmestí do krabice od topánok?, and teacher Mária Macharová from Trenčín, we explore how these initiatives work, what motivates the people behind them, and why even small acts of generosity can have a lasting impact. In the newest episode of Slovak Sound Check, Veronika and Lubna invite you to celebrate Christmas Slovak-style. Learn essential Christmas vocabulary, explore Slovak traditions connected with “Štedrý deň” and “Štedrý večer” (Christmas Eve), discover what Slovaks eat, who brings the presents, and what traditions belong to the season.

The Historical Museum at Bratislava Castle invites visitors to see one of the four replicas in the world of the necklace once worn by Marie Antoinette. Beata Greneche, one of the exhibition's co-curators, describes the jewel—featured in the exhibition “Marie Antoinette: From Celebration to Tragedy”—as the most famous necklace in history, as it allegedly helped spark the French Revolution. Elena Mihaly identifies as a Rusyn American and is currently applying for Slovak citizenship by descent. On her first-ever trip to Šarišské Jastrabie, she was accompanied by her mother, Michelle, who is also partly of Rusyn descent. Culture tips bring great news for Slovak literature.

As Christmas approaches, the streets fill with sparkling lights, crowded shops, and people rushing by — some carrying bags of gifts, others hauling suitcases as they set off for the holidays. It's the season when most of us long to be home with our loved ones. But what happens when “home” is suddenly far away? Maybe you've recently moved abroad, or work and life commitments make traveling back impossible — especially with flight prices soaring at this time of year. In Slovakia, many foreigners will be spending Christmas here for the very first time. How should one cope with this new reality and with the homesickness that often feels strongest during what's known as the most magical season? We spoke with Simona Stopková, psychologist and Head of the Bratislava branch of IPčko (a free psychological counselling service), about navigating these emotions and finding a sense of peace during the holidays. With the holiday season just around the corner, the new episode of Slovak Sound Check dives into an essential toolkit of everyday and festive Slovak wishes.

An interview about the English translations of four 20th-century Slovak writers, which have been published until 2025 by Karolinum Press, the publishing house of Charles University in Prague.

The centenary of the P. O. Hviezdoslav Library in Prešov — along with the institution's mission and its newly renovated building — is the focus of conversations with library director Iveta Hurná, Prešov Self-Governing Region chairman Milan Majerský, and staff member Alena Brindová, winner of the 2025 Golden Wave national poetry award. British writers James Sutherland Smith and Jonathan Gresty, long-time residents of Prešov, also share their perspectives. Culture tips highlight upcoming Christmas concerts by the Košice State Philharmonic and the launch of a new Christmas-themed book written in English by a young Slovak author.
