IP Fridays - your intellectual property podcast about trademarks, patents, designs and much more
Brian is: Managing Director, GlassRatner LinkedIn bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianbuss I am Rolf Claessen and my co-host Ken Suzan and I are welcoming you to episode 170 of our podcast IP Fridays! We also want to wish you a happy holiday season and a successful year 2026! Today's interview guest is Brian Buss. He is the managing director of GlassRatner and my co-host Ken Suzan talks with him about the valuation of intellectual property rights and damages in infringement cases. But before we jump into the interview, I have news for you! A US start-up called Operation Bluebird is trying to take over the “Twitter” trademark. It has asked the USPTO to cancel Twitter word marks, arguing that Elon Musk's company X no longer uses them after the rebrand. Led by a former Twitter trademark lawyer, Operation Bluebird also filed its own “Twitter” trademark application. Commentators note that X could face challenges defending the legacy marks if they are truly no longer in use. In parallel, the US debate on patent quality and review procedures is intensifying. The USPTO proposed controversial rule changes that would restrict Inter Partes Review (IPR). The proposal triggered substantial backlash, with more than 11,000 public comments submitted—over 4,000 of them via the civil liberties group EFF. In the EU, a major trademark reform will take effect on 1 January 2026. It aims to simplify procedures, recognize new types of marks (including hologram, multimedia, and motion marks), and make fees more SME-friendly (e.g., lower base fees for the first class and discounts for timely renewals). Opposition procedures will be further harmonized across the EU, including a mandatory “cooling-off” period, so mid-sized brand owners should adjust filing and monitoring strategies accordingly. The Unified Patent Court (UPC) continues to see strong uptake, especially in Germany. In the first 18 months since its launch on 1 June 2023, well over 900 cases were filed, with German local divisions (Munich, Düsseldorf, Mannheim, Hamburg) leading in patent actions. While many early cases were filed in German, English now dominates as the main language of proceedings. The court has largely met its timelines, with oral hearings typically held within 12 months of filing. China has reached a milestone in its patent system: for the first time, a country has surpassed 5 million active invention patents. CNIPA emphasizes a strategic shift from “quantity to quality,” citing growth in “high-value” patents and higher commercialization rates for university inventions. China has also led global PCT filings for six consecutive years—signals of rapid technological progress relevant to IP planning for German SMEs. On 4 December 2025, the USPTO issued new guidance on “Subject Matter Eligibility Declarations.” These declarations allow applicants to submit additional evidence to support patent eligibility for emerging technologies such as AI systems and medical diagnostics, aiming to reduce the risk that breakthrough inventions are excluded from protection under strict eligibility case law. In December, the European Patent Office (EPO) introduced new patent-quality measures. Third parties can now submit observations on published applications or granted patents via a simplified online form. These Third-Party Observations—supported by evidence and even filed anonymously—go directly to examination teams to flag potential obstacles early. The Interview with Brian Buss: Ken Suzan interviews Brian Buss, a valuation and damages expert who describes his work as “financial detective” work: identifying what intellectual property and other intangible assets are worth and how they translate into measurable economic benefits such as sales, profit, earnings, or cash flow. Buss emphasizes that “IP” should be understood broadly, not only as formal rights (patents, trademarks, copyrights), but also as brands, technology portfolios, internet and social media assets, know-how, and other business intangibles that help generate economic value. A central point is that IP is often a company's most valuable resource but is rarely measured well. Buss cites a “value gap” he observed in middle-market public companies: market capitalization often exceeds the asset values shown on balance sheets, and much of the gap is explained by intangible assets and IP. He argues that valuation helps companies understand ROI on IP spend (prosecution, protection, enforcement) and supports better strategic decision-making. He outlines common scenarios that trigger IP valuation: internal management needs (understanding performance drivers), disputes about resource allocation (e.g., technology vs. marketing), external events (M&A, licensing, partnerships, franchising, divestitures), and pricing strategy (how exclusivity supported by IP should affect product/service pricing). On “how” valuation is performed, Buss summarizes the three standard approaches—cost (replacement/replication cost), market (comparable transactions), and income (present value of future benefits). He adds that strong IP valuation requires integrating three dimensions of analysis: financial factors (performance data and projections), behavioral factors (customer demand drivers, perceptions, brand recall, feature importance), and legal factors (registration/enforcement history and competitive IP landscape). For practical readiness, he advises companies to improve data discipline: maintain solid books and records; develop credible budgets, forecasts, and business plans; document marketing activities; and actively collect/monitor website and social analytics (e.g., traffic sources, engagement). He stresses that these datasets inform valuation even for technology assets like patents, because they reveal whether protected features are actually marketed and valued by customers. A concrete example is domain names, which he frames as “virtual real estate.” In due diligence for a domain sale, he would focus on analytics showing whether the domain itself drives traffic (direct type-ins, branded search terms, bookmarks) versus traffic driven by other marketing efforts. The key question is whether the address is known and used as a pathway to the business. In closing, Buss argues that while gathering the necessary information requires effort, the investment typically pays off through greater awareness of the most valuable assets, better strategic decisions, and stronger support for growth opportunities. He presents IP valuation as a virtuous cycle of information, insight, and improved decision-making—summed up in his recurring theme: knowledge of IP value is “power” to increase business profitability and enterprise value.

Ken Suzan: Brian holds an MBA from San Diego State University and a bachelor's degree from Claremont McKenna College. Welcome, Brian, to the IP Fridays podcast. Brian Buss: Thank you, Ken, for having me. I appreciate the opportunity. Ken Suzan: Excellent, Brian. Can you tell our listeners a little bit about your professional background and what you do in the world of IP? Brian Buss: Sure. I'm a valuation professional and an economic damages expert. Most of my work involves valuing intellectual property and intangible assets and, in litigation contexts, assessing economic damages—often related to IP disputes. My role is frequently to translate legal or technical issues into financial outcomes. Ken Suzan: When people hear “IP,” they often think patents, trademarks, and copyrights. In your work, how broadly do you define intellectual property and intangible assets? Brian Buss: I define it very broadly. Of course, there are the formal rights—patents, trademarks, copyrights—but there are many other intangible assets that drive value: brand reputation, customer relationships, proprietary know-how, trade secrets, data, software, domain names, social media assets, and the systems and processes a business builds over time. All of those can create economic value, even if they're not always captured well on a balance sheet. Ken Suzan: Why is IP valuation important for companies—especially mid-sized businesses that may not have a large in-house legal or finance team? Brian Buss: Because IP and intangible assets can be a large portion—sometimes the largest portion—of what makes a business valuable, yet they're often not measured or managed with the same discipline as tangible assets. Valuation can help companies understand what is actually driving revenue, profit, and enterprise value. It can also help them justify investment in IP creation, protection, and enforcement, and it can support strategic decisions like licensing, partnerships, acquisitions, or pricing. Ken Suzan: You've talked elsewhere about a “value gap” between what's on the balance sheet and what the market thinks a company is worth. Can you explain that concept? Brian Buss: Sure. If you look at many companies—particularly in the middle market—you'll often see that market capitalization exceeds the asset values recorded on the balance sheet. A significant portion of that difference is attributable to intangible assets and IP that accounting rules don't fully recognize unless there's an acquisition. That “gap” is essentially the market saying, “There is value here beyond tangible assets,” and much of it comes from intangibles. Ken Suzan: What are the most common situations where a company needs an IP valuation? Brian Buss: There are a few big categories. One is transactions—M&A, due diligence, purchase price allocation, and financing. Another is licensing and partnerships—setting royalty rates, structuring deals, or evaluating whether a proposed license makes economic sense. A third is internal management: understanding ROI on R&D, marketing, or IP spend, or resolving internal debates about what is really driving business performance. And of course, litigation—damages, reasonable royalties, lost profits, and other economic remedies tied to IP. Ken Suzan: In practical terms, how do you value IP? What methods do you use? Brian Buss: The valuation profession generally relies on three approaches: the cost approach, the market approach, and the income approach. The cost approach looks at what it would cost to recreate or replace the asset. The market approach looks at comparable transactions—if you can find good comparables. The income approach is often the most relevant for IP: it looks at the present value of future economic benefits attributable to the IP, based on cash flows, risk, and time. Ken Suzan: In addition to the financial methods, what other factors matter? For example, legal strength or market perception? Brian Buss: Exactly. A strong valuation integrates financial, behavioral, and legal analysis. Financial is obvious—historic results, projections, margins, pricing. Behavioral is about demand drivers—what customers value, how they perceive the brand, how features influence purchasing decisions, and what drives loyalty or switching. Legal involves the nature of the IP rights, scope, enforceability, registration and maintenance history, and the competitive landscape. IP exists at the intersection of all three. Ken Suzan: What kind of information should a company have ready if they want to do an IP valuation? Brian Buss: Good books and records are essential—reliable financial statements, product-level revenue and cost data if possible, and credible budgets and forecasts. They should also document marketing activities, product positioning, and the role of IP in commercialization. For digital and brand assets, analytics matter—website traffic sources, conversion data, engagement metrics, and social media statistics. The more you can connect the IP or intangible asset to measurable economic outcomes, the stronger the valuation. Ken Suzan: That's interesting—people might not think that marketing analytics matter for patents. Can you explain how those link up? Brian Buss: Sure. A patent might cover a particular feature or technology, but the key economic question is: does that feature drive demand? If customers value it and it supports pricing power, adoption, or market share, that's important. Marketing materials, customer communications, sales training, and analytics can help show what the company emphasizes and what resonates with customers. It helps tie the legal right to real-world economic value. Ken Suzan: You mentioned domain names earlier. Many people underestimate them. How do you think about domain names as an asset? Brian Buss: I often describe domain names as virtual real estate. The question is whether the domain is a meaningful pathway to the business. In a valuation context, you'd look at the domain's role in generating traffic—direct navigation, branded search, bookmarks, and repeat visits. You'd also look at how much traffic is attributable to the domain itself versus paid marketing. If the domain is known and drives organic traffic and credibility, it can be quite valuable. Ken Suzan: So, if you're doing due diligence on a domain sale, what would you look for? Brian Buss: I'd look closely at analytics: traffic volume over time, sources of traffic, geographic distribution, conversion rates, and the relationship between marketing spend and traffic. If traffic is mostly paid and disappears when marketing stops, that's different than sustained direct navigation. I'd also look at brand alignment, risk factors, and whether there are disputes or competing rights. Ken Suzan: For a mid-sized company listening to this, what are the biggest “misses” you see—things companies do that reduce the value they can capture from IP? Brian Buss: A big one is not collecting and organizing information that demonstrates value. Another is not aligning IP strategy with business strategy—filing patents or trademarks without a clear plan for how they support products, markets, and revenue. Some companies also underinvest in documenting commercialization and customer impact, which becomes important in transactions and disputes. And sometimes they simply don't revisit their portfolios to understand what is still relevant and what is not. Ken Suzan: How should companies think about ROI on IP spend—both the costs of prosecution and the costs of enforcement? Brian Buss: They should start by identifying the economic role of the IP: is it supporting pricing power, is it protecting market share, is it enabling licensing revenue, is it reducing competitive entry? Then they can compare the costs—filing, maintenance, monitoring, enforcement—against the value it protects or creates. Valuation can provide a framework for that, and it can also help prioritize where to spend resources. Ken Suzan: When valuation is used in litigation, what are the typical types of damages analysis you're asked to perform? Brian Buss: Commonly, reasonable royalty analysis, lost profits, unjust enrichment, and sometimes disgorgement depending on the jurisdiction and the claims. The specifics depend on the legal framework, but the core is the same: quantify the economic harm and connect it causally to the alleged infringement or misappropriation, using financial data, market evidence, and assumptions that can be tested. Ken Suzan: Are there misconceptions about valuation that you'd like to correct for our audience? Brian Buss: One misconception is that valuation is purely subjective or that it's just an “opinion.” A good valuation is grounded in data, established methodologies, and transparent assumptions. Another is that intangibles can't be measured. They can be measured—often through the economic benefits they create and through evidence of customer behavior and market dynamics. It takes work, but it's doable. Ken Suzan: If a company wants to prepare for a future transaction—say a sale or a major partnership—what are some practical steps they can take now to make their IP story stronger? Brian Buss: Maintain clean records, develop credible forecasts, and document the link between IP and business results. Make sure registrations and maintenance are up to date. Track how IP supports products and competitive differentiation. Collect evidence of brand strength and customer loyalty. And if possible, structure internal reporting so you can see performance by product line or offering. That helps in due diligence and helps buyers or partners understand what they're paying for. Ken Suzan: Any final thoughts or advice for owners of intellectual property portfolios, transactional professionals, or executives listening to this? Brian Buss: I'd emphasize that the investment in gathering the information needed for evaluation typically pays off. It creates awareness of the most valuable assets, supports better strategic decisions, and makes it easier to pursue growth opportunities. IP valuation is a virtuous cycle of information gathering, analysis, deeper understanding, and then decision-making. Knowledge is power, and knowledge of the value of your IP is the power to increase the profitability and value of your business. IP valuation is a key element of the management toolkit. Ken Suzan: Brian, well said, and thank you so much for taking time today to be on the IP Fridays podcast. Brian Buss: Thank you, Ken. I really appreciate the opportunity.

V úzkej bratislavskej uličke stojí stavba, ktorú mnohí prehliadnu. Zvonka pôsobí nepreniknuteľne, no keď ju začneme bližšie skúmať, prezradí o sebe, svojom autorovi, ale aj o jednej veľkej historickej epoche veľa. V 4. epizóde podcastovej série Čo skrýva umenie sa ponoríme do príbehu budovy, ktorá je moderná aj hlboko konzervatívna. Spýtame sa, ako fungujú synagógy a či ich vieme rozpoznať na prvý pohľad. Prečo sú synagógy také rozdielne, aké detaily ukrývajú a ako môže architektúra pôsobiť ako politické gesto? Spýtame sa aj na to, čo všetko vplýva na prácu umelca – architekta. Ako ďalej, keď mu do života vstúpi nie jedna, ale dve svetové vojny, a ako sa žije so špeciálnym požehnaním za vyhotovenie umeleckého diela, ktoré ochraňuje, no môže aj trestať? V tejto epizóde objavíme svet veľkých umeleckých diel, budov, ktoré nás dodnes obklopujú, v ktorých sa umenie prelína s históriou, identitou aj s reálnym životom.

What does it really take to build a fintech company that quietly fixes one of the most frustrating problems SMEs face every day? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Pierre-Antoine Dusoulier, the Founder and CEO of iBanFirst, for a candid conversation about entrepreneurship, timing, and why cross-border payments have remained broken for so long. Pierre-Antoine's story begins in London, where his early career as an FX trader felt like a compromise at the time, yet quietly gave him a front-row seat to inefficiencies most people accepted as normal. That experience would later shape two companies and a very clear point of view on how money should move across borders. Pierre-Antoine walks through his first venture, Combeast.com, one of France's earliest FX brokerages for retail investors, and what he learned from selling it to Saxo Bank and staying on to run Western European operations. That chapter matters, because it exposed the gap between how sophisticated FX markets really are and how poorly SMEs are served when FX and payments are bundled together inside traditional banks. Out of that frustration, IbanFirst was born in 2016 with a simple idea: treat cross-border payments as a specialist discipline, not a side feature. Today, IbanFirst serves more than 10,000 clients across Europe and processes over €2 billion in transactions every month. We dig into why growth has continued while many fintechs have slowed, from a product designed to be used daily, to proactive sales, to a new generation of CFOs and CEOs who expect the same clarity and speed at work that they get from consumer fintech tools. Pierre-Antoine explains how real-time FX rates, payment tracking using SWIFT GPI, and multi-entity account management change the day-to-day reality for SMEs trading internationally. We also talk about Brexit, and how being rooted in continental Europe created an unexpected opening. Pierre-Antoine shares why expanding into the UK, including the acquisition of Cornhill, made sense, and why London's payments ecosystem still stands apart in scale and depth. Along the way, he is refreshingly open about the heavy investment required in compliance, trust, and regulation, and why nearly a third of IbanFirst's team focuses on operations and oversight. Looking ahead, Pierre-Antoine lays out a bold vision for the SME payments market, predicting a future where specialists replace banks in much the same way fintech reshaped consumer money transfers. As cross-border trade grows and currency volatility becomes a daily concern, his perspective raises an interesting question for anyone running an international business today: if specialists already exist, why keep relying on systems that were never designed for how SMEs actually operate?

Česko má za sebou michelinské ocenenia, my na Slovensku na tie svoje ešte čakáme. V oboch krajinách sa však hádame, či vlastne podobné ocenenia sú na čosi dobré a či ešte odzrkadľujú, kam sa kulinárstvo uberá. Dnes sa teda už v trochu sviatočnej epizóde vyberieme za jedlom a varením. Tomáš Prokopčák sa v podcaste Dobré ráno rozpráva so šéfkuchárom Michalom Kordošom, ktorý sám v michelinkách varil. Zdroje zvukov: Česká televize, Instagram/CNN Prima News, Youtube/DVTV Odporúčanie A moje dnešné odporúčanie už bude vianočné: ak si chcete urobiť náladu, pustite si napríklad Zuzanin playlist Vianoce s Hektorom na Spotify.

This Morning's Headlines1. Defense briefing2. ICT meeting3. SME briefing4. Summit follow-up5. Police chief impeached
In this episode, Shannon sits down with Dawni Baxter — founder of a boutique marketing agency and a multi-passionate entrepreneur leading the movement in ethical, human-first marketing. Dawni brings a refreshing perspective to an industry filled with noise, inflated promises, and confusing pricing structures. Together, Shannon and Dawni dive into: ✨ How to navigate marketing relationships with confidence ✨ Why transparency and trust are the backbone of ethical marketing ✨ What to look for (and avoid) when hiring a marketing agency or contractor ✨ The power of outsourcing — even when it feels uncomfortable ✨ Why real marketing results require time, patience, and accurate data ✨ How fractional marketing directors provide expert support without bloated retainers Dawni shares why she helped develop the first global regulation for social media managers in the UK, and how her agency champions organic reach and integrity over pushy sales strategies. This conversation is a must-listen for any entrepreneur — especially solo retreat leaders — who wants to grow sustainably, avoid costly marketing mistakes, and build relationships rooted in alignment and trust. Key Takeaways Ethical marketing is about humans first, not hustle culture. Due diligence is essential — marketing professionals are great at marketing themselves. Trust your instincts: if a partner feels off, overpriced, or vague, walk away. There is no standardized pricing in marketing — and that's exactly why transparency matters. Fractional marketing directors are a powerful option for small businesses who need strategy without full-time overhead. Outsourcing is uncomfortable — but it's one of the fastest ways to grow as a founder. Real marketing results come from consistent data over 12–18 months… not overnight "miracles." Quick exits from misaligned relationships often save you more time and money than sticking it out. Listen to This Episode If You: Want to better understand Tantra from a grounded, professional lens.

Mal to byť jeden z najväčších projektov v modernej histórii Slovenska. Megalomanský zábavný park za 1,5 miliardy s kasínom na poliach na južnom okraji Bratislavy dokonca podporoval vtedajší minister financií Smeru Ján Počiatek. Projekt s názvom Metropolis zostal však iba na papieri. No a pozemky, na ktorých mal byť tento projekt vybudovaný, nedávno zmenili majiteľa. Stala sa nimi skupina Koruna Finance Gustáva Lacu, dnes na verejnosti známeho najmä vďaka predaju skrachovaného výpredajového centra vo Voderadoch štátu za nevýhodných podmienok. Aj preto sa Nikola Šuliková Bajánová pozrie s redaktorom magazínu Index Tomášom Vašutom na nákup pozemkov a pripomenú si, kto Gustáv Laca je. Zvuky: 360tky, TASR Odporúčanie Už niekoľko dní sa dá na Netflixe pozrieť slovenský film Otec. Verím, že ho netreba predstavovať. Mojím odporúčaním však nie je táto snímka, aj keď, áno, pozrite si ju, je ním text o tejto téme, ktorý vyšiel v roku 2009 vo Washington Post a jeho autor Gene Weingarten zaň získal Pulitzera. Skrátene Fatal Distraction preskúmava fenomén detí zabudnutých v aute milujúcimi rodičmi. Nie je to ani náhodou príjemné čítanie, ale je dôležité. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifing See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hovoria, že toto sú dosiaľ najintenzívnejšie rokovania o mieri na Ukrajine, no momentálne skôr medzi Ukrajinou, európskymi krajinami a USA, ktoré sa pokúšajú nájsť nejaký akceptovateľný kompromis. Otázkou tiež je, či Rusko vôbec nejaký mier chce a či nejaký návrh akceptovať bude.

Bola to určite jedna z najzásadnejších inovácií v dejinách ľudstva: keď sme sa naučili založiť oheň, zrazu sa zmenil svet, v ktorom sme žili. A teraz sa zdá, že túto schopnosť mali naši predkovia o státisíce rokov skôr ako sme si dosiaľ mysleli. Tento týždeň v podcaste Zoom zistíme, že oheň sme sa naučili založiť oveľa skôr a že ľudský mozog prechádza niekoľkými kľúčovými fázami starnutia. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME si môžete vypočuť na jednom mieste na podcasty.sme.sk. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na podcasty@sme.sk – Odoberajte aj (Ne)vedecký newsletter Tomáša Prokopčáka na sme.sk/nevedecky – Ďakujeme, že počúvate podcast Zoom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Scope creep doesn't arrive with a siren; it shows up as “just one more” request and quietly doubles your workload. In this episode, I break down a practical, humane way to protect your timeline and still make room for good ideas—so you ship value now and again soon, without burnout.We start by drawing clean edges around the work: a one‑page scope brief, an explicit out‑of‑scope list, and a shared definition of done. From there, we name one final approver to end circular edits, set a simple change path, and design feedback rounds that serve the build instead of stalling it. Then we move into team dynamics. You'll hear how to build a working alliance with your SME—align on behavior‑based outcomes, co‑create a must‑keep vs nice‑to‑have list, agree on response norms, and use a one‑page feedback guide to keep comments focused at the right stage.You'll leave with ready‑to‑use scripts for out‑of‑scope requests, late feedback, and conflicting SME guidance; a checklist of common pitfalls to dodge; and a steady cadence to deliver learning products on time without gold plating. If this helped you tame scope creep, subscribe, share with a teammate, and leave a thoughtful review so more designers can find it.

Čo teda vládna koalícia v národnej rade stvárala, prečo stratili zábrany, ako sa to prejavuje na jej vzťahoch a čo to robí s krajinou? Tomáš Prokopčák sa v podcaste Dobré ráno pýta Petra Tkačenka.

This episode features Christopher Brumm, Cyber Security Architect at glueckkanja AG.With 15+ years in IT security, Chris has worked across Microsoft's security portfolio and beyond, moving from network and data-center defense into deep identity work with Active Directory and Entra ID. He's now an identity SME, a GK Identity Community moderator, a frequent community speaker, and a regular writer on security and identity.In this episode, Chris explores the limitations of Active Directory security and how Microsoft's new Global Secure Access directly addresses those gaps. He breaks down how zero trust principles and granular controls work in practice, and why connecting on-prem servers to the cloud is now simpler and safer. Chris shows how this shift strengthens defenses by enforcing access through identity-first policies instead of outdated network-centric models.This is a clear, field-tested walkthrough of why hybrid identity security needs a new playbook, and how Global Secure Access helps teams close the holes attackers rely on most.Guest BioFor over 15 years, Christopher Brumm has been immersed in IT security topics, possessing extensive knowledge and practical experience in the Microsoft Security Portfolio and beyond. Over the years, he has progressed from network and data center topics to Active Directory and Entra ID, delving deeper into identity security. Today, he is a Subject Matter Expert for Identity in the Security Team and a moderator of the GK Identity Community. He regularly speaks at community events and publishes blog posts on security and identity topics. Chris's latest passion is Global Secure Access, where the themes of identity, security, and networking converge to enable a comprehensive Zero Trust approach.Guest Quote “It's not realistic to modernize protocols like Kerberos or SMB to support MFA and device compliance... but we have an option to control the network layer.”Time stamps01:07 Meet Christopher Brumm: Microsoft Security MVP and CISSP02:00 The Hybrid Identity Attack Playbook06:03 Active Directory vs. Entra ID: The Security Gap09:02 Breaking Down Global Secure Access11:58 What This Looks Like for Real Users16:17 Bringing Zero Trust to the Network Layer17:50 What You Need to Deploy Global Secure Access20:48 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsSponsorThe HIP Podcast is brought to you by Semperis, the leader in identity-driven cyber resilience for the hybrid enterprise.

Predstavte si, že stojíte pred veľkou fotografiou, na ktorej sú usmievavé deti ázijského pôvodu a medzi nimi jeden vysoký Európan. A pod fotografiou, na podlahe, veľké biele vajíčka. Môžete sa letmo pozrieť a ísť ďalej, ale ak zostanete a prizriete sa bližšie, objavíte veľký príbeh. V 3. epizóde podcastovej série „Čo skrýva umenie“ sa ponoríme do sveta umeleckej fotografie. Spýtame sa, čo všetko skrýva malá či veľká fotografia, prečo a ako sa môžu dostať staré fotky na steny moderných výstav a prečo si niekedy práca umelca pýta roky výskumu, schopnosti detektíva a pevné nervy. V epizóde sa spýtame aj na to, ako prezentovať komplexné a niekedy aj komplikované súčasné fotografické umenie, aby sme mu porozumeli, a či fotografia musí byť krásna, aby bola umením. Vyzistíme aj, prečo idylický západ slnka, ktorý si nafotíme na mobil, nie je umením, a kedy a ako sa ním môže stať. Objavíme aj punktum a fakt, že nejde o medicínsky zákrok, a utvrdíme sa v tom, že nepochopiť umeleckej fotografii na prvú dobrú je úplne v poriadku.

Odporúčanie Kniha Maslo od Asako Yuzuki je veľmi zaujímavým skĺbením tém ako jedlo, ženy, mizogýnia a séria úmrtí, z ktorých je podozrivá nesympatická postava. Dej sa odohráva v Tokiu a číta sa veľmi ľahko a rýchlo. Tento japonský bestseller inšpirovaný skutočnými udalosťami by mohol byť čitateľským spestrením vašich napríklad vianočných sviatkov. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Prečo vychádzajú vedecké testy astrológie len na úrovni náhody? Ako ľudia presvedčení o plochej Zemi vysvetľujú neexistujúcu Austráliu či západy Slnka? A prečo je neustále meniace sa vysvetlenie typickým znakom nezmyselných teórií – podobne ako pri legendárnom stohlavom drakovi? O tom všetkom diskutujú Jozef a Samuel. Podcast vzniká v spolupráci so SME.

Písal sa 18. jún 1945 a na železničnej stanici v Přerove sa stretli dva vlaky. V jednom cestovali vojaci z 1. československého armádneho zboru, ktorí sa vracali na Slovensko z vojenskej prehliadky na Staromestskom námestí v Prahe. V druhom cestovali karpatskí Nemci, ktorí sa vracali späť do rodných obci na Slovensko zo severozápadných Čiech, kam boli ešte v predchádzajúcom roku evakuovaní pred blížiacim sa frontom. Len čo veliaci dôstojníci začuli z vedľajšieho vlaku nemčinu, začali karpatských Nemcov legitimovať, vyvliekať z vagónov a hnať ich za mesto na návršie, ktoré miestni nazývajú Švédske šance. Tam sa následne v noci na 19. júna odohral masaker 265 ľudí. Mená všetkých členov 20-členného vraždiaceho komanda dodnes nepoznáme, s istotou vieme pomenovať len hlavných strojcov přerovského masakru, všetci vyviazli len s miernym, či vzhľadom na rozsah tohto zločinu s prakticky zanedbateľným trestom. Přerovský masaker však nebol ojedinelý prípad, podobných zločinov sa pri divokom vysídľovaní Nemcov po druhej svetovej vojne odohralo niekoľko. Čo do počtu obetí bolo zrejme najrozsiahlejšie vraždenie v Postoloprtech na Žatecku, kde v masových hroboch exhumovali 763 obetí. Zločin, ktorý sa odohral na Švédskych šanciach však osobitne zaráža brutalitou, keď veľkú väčšinu zabitých tvorili ženy a deti. A ako vyplýva z doteraz preskúmaných záznamov, nikto z hlavných páchateľov neprejavil ani neskôr žiadnu ľútosť nad vykonaným činom. Dnes je táto udalosť historikmi už pomerne podrobne spracovaná. Jedným z nich je aj Pavel Kreisinger z Filozofickej fakulty Univerzity Palackého v Olomouci, nedávno publikoval štúdiu v knižnej podobe s názvom Masakr na Švédskych šancích v souvislostech, ktorú vydalo Vydavatelství Univerzity Palackého. V podcaste Dejiny si približujeme nielen okolnosti zločinu, ale aj jeho (ne)potrestania. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na jaroslav.valent@petitpress.sk – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcastySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bitka v parlamente, alkohol a vulgárne nadávky. Koalícia presadila do novely trestného zákona prílepok o kajúcnikoch, ktorý môže pomôcť Tiborovi Gašparovi a Norbertovi Bödörovi. Bola to jedna z najhorších nocí, ktorú sme za posledné dva roky v parlamente videli. Dušan Kováčik má šancu, že sa nevráti do väzenia, keďže Najvyšší súd po dovolaní ministra Suska vracia jeho prípad na súd a aby to nestačilo, koalícia prelomila prezidentovo veto a definitívne odhlasovala zrušenie úradu na ochranu oznamovateľov korupcie. A Jána Ferenčáka odvolali z postu predsedu európskeho výboru, preto vystúpil z poslaneckého klubu Hlas. Toto všetko stihla koalícia za jeden jediný deň. Sobotným Dobrým ránom vás sprevádzajú Zuzana Kovačič Hanzelová a Jakub Filo.

Minister spravodlivosti Boris Susko uspel s dovolaním na Najvyššom súde. Rozsudok, ktorý z Dušana Kováčika urobil korupčníka, sa vracia na začiatok. Senát spochybnil samotné vyšetrovanie, dokonca aj názov policajnej akcie Mobydick, ktorým mali policajti označovať práve bývalého špeciálneho prokurátora. O tom, čo znamená verdikt v jednej z najväčších káuz s najvyššie postaveným verejným funkcionárov, diskutoval v Dobrom ráne s Janou Krescanko Dibákovou reportér SME Peter Kováč.

Ani svet humoru a vtipov nie je imúnny voči tomu nevyhnutnému a smutnému. A teda ani voči odchodu osobnosti, akou bola Oľga Feldeková. Spisovateľka, novinárka, matka veľkej rodiny, princezná z Modrej knihy rozprávok a obľúbená glosátorka zomrela v sobotu 6. decembra vo veku 82 rokov. O tom, kým bola, s akým odkazom odišla, ale aj, ako formovala slovenskú humoristickú scénu a akú úlohu má humor v súčasnosti, sa Nikola Šuliková Bajánová rozpráva s Tomášom Hudákom, stand up komikom, scenáristom a jej kolegom z relácie Sedem. ZDROJ ZVUKOV: TV JOJ Odporúčanie O slovenskom filme Hore je nebo, v doline som ja ste už pravdepodobne počuli, koniec koncov, v kinách sa už pomaly končí jeho premietanie. Ak ho ale náhodou nepoznáte, chcela by som vám ho dnes odporučiť. Snímka Kataríny Gramatovej, ktorá lyricky zachytáva život v hladových dolinách, sleduje prázdniny mladého Enriqueho a jeho kamarátov. Eňo má neprítomnú matku a tá má verejné tajomstvo, o ktorom nevie vari už len on sám. Netrvá to však dlho a chlapec si dá dve a dve dohromady, vďaka čomu my diváci sledujeme jeho vnútorné boje zachytené krásnou kamerou. Prostredie Utekáča, bývalého sklárskeho mestečka, je skvelým výberom pre tento film. Výkony nehercov sú úžasné a síce nie som filmová kritička, ale v dosť veľkom protiklade so snahou profesionálov zahrať ľudí v chudobných regiónoch. Ale to nič, film sa stále naozaj oplatí vidieť. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kým v Rusku sa asi tešia, Európa premýšľa, ako ďalej. Zdá sa totiž, že USA menia svoju geopolitickú stratégiu a ako prvých sa to dotkne Ukrajiny... čo-to už naznačil americký mierový plán. O jeho rizikách, o Ukrajine aj o jej budúcnosti sa tak v podcaste Dobré ráno rozprávali Ivan Mikloš, Dalibor Roháč a ich hostka, veľvyslankyňa Európskej únie na Ukrajine Katarína Mathernová.

Nová americká bezpečnostná stratégia už so starým kontinentom nepočíta. Pre Európu sa tak končí život pod americkým bezpečnostným dáždnikom. Deje sa tak v čase komplikovaných rokovaní o mieri a o strate ukrajinských území v prospech vojnového agresora. V podcaste Dobré ráno sa moderátorka Jana Krescanko Dibáková rozpráva so zahraničnopolitickou analytičkou Janou Kobzovou o perspektívach vývoja v Európe, ktorú čaká úloha postaviť sa na vlastné nohy bez spoliehania sa na Spojené štáty. USA zároveň čelia kritike za snahu zasahovať do vývoja v Európe a za podporu Ruska ako vojnového agresora na úkor Ukrajiny. Odporúčanie: No a drobné odporúčanie na záver .

Ako to vyzerá, keď umelca či umelkyňu zaskočí múza? A čo by ste spravili vy, ak by sa vám z duše nečakane „dralo“ von zlato? V 2. epizóde podcastovej série Čo skrýva umenie sa pozrieme do sveta umenia módy, ktorý nás nielen oblieka, ale aj ticho sprevádza naším každodenným životom. Nazrieme do módnych ateliérov a na módne móla, ale spýtame sa aj to, ako sa tvorí toto umenie, na čom móda stojí, čo v nej vieme prečítať, čo hovorila kedysi a dnes – alebo, inak povedané, čo sa skrýva za obyčajnou sukňou, farebnou šatkou či zlatým šperkom. A možno vás to zaskočí, ale niekedy sú to príbehy, ktoré vznikajú dlho – desiatky rokov či celé generácie. Okrem toho si tiež povieme, ako funguje „systém“ módy, prečo sa oplatí investovať do kvalitnejšieho oblečenia a že zero waste nie je nič nové, a pôvodne nemal nič spoločné s environmentálnym cítením. Podcast Kataríny Urban Richterovej vznikol vďaka finančnej podpore Fondu na podporu kultúry národnostných menšín a v spolupráci s denníkom SME.

„Predstavte si svet bez inštitúcii. Je to svet, kde akoby sa rozplynuli hranice medzi krajinami a zostáva iba jedna nekonečná zem, ktorou križujú ľudia a hľadajú komunity, čo už neexistujú.“ Takto začína britský historik Keith Lowe svoje rozprávanie o Európe krátko po druhej svetovej vojne vo svojej už kultovej knihe Krutý kontinent. Na prvý pohľad sa môže zdať, že je to obraz, ktorý sa týka predovšetkým rozsiahlych oblastí zbombardovaného Nemecka. No v rozličnej miere opisuje každú krajinu a každé mesto, i u nás na Slovensku. Príkladom sú Nové Zámky, ktoré sa stali na konci vojny jedným z našich miest s najväčšou mierou deštrukcie. Deštrukcia sa však rovnako dotkla aj dovtedajších politických systémov a sociálnych vzťahov. Aj naša krajina si musela prejsť procesom okupácie, oslobodzovania a povojnovej obnovy. Ako tento proces vyzeral a je možné rok 1945 vnímať v istom zmysle ako bod nula, keď sa muselo začínať od začiatku? Na verejnej diskusii v rámci konferencie s názvom Na rozvalinách vojny, ktorú organizovalo Múzeum SNP, sme sa rozprávali s troma hosťami – historikom a germanistom Miloslavom Szabóom z Filozofickej fakulty UK, historikom Antonom Hruboňom z Fakulty politických vied a medzinárodných vzťahov UMB a s publicistom a spisovateľom Marekom Hudecom. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na jaroslav.valent@petitpress.sk – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcastySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
