Spanish indie folk artist Guitarricadelafuente has come a long way since his days of posting covers on social media. Back then, he wasn't only inspired by his own culture, but American folk music as well, reinterpreting songs of Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. Eventually finding his own vein within the art of storytelling, Guitarrica began drawing inspiration from folklore, viewing it as not a snapshot from the past, but “something that already lives within us”. In his two albums, La Cantera and Spanish Leather, this is the concept he embraces, embodying the curiosity and joy of a kid that lives in a village, discovering the city for the first time.  There is a delicate melancholy in the music of Guitarricadelafuente, but a celebration of love and laughter, too. His lens is an unfiltered one, embracing the reality of unadulterated human emotions and making peace with the poses he strikes daily. Fresh off the NPR Tiny Desk stage, he takes a short break from his first world tour to play a stripped-down set at the Soundcheck studios. (- Sırma Munyar) Setlist: 1.Poses 2. Mataleón 3.

The Banskobystrická latka is one of Slovakia's true sporting highlights — a prestigious indoor high jump meeting with Silver status on the World Athletics Indoor Tour, the highest ranking available for events of its kind anywhere in the world. Last week, its 32nd edition filled the Štiavničky indoor arena beneath the iconic Urpín hill to capacity, once again delivering world-class performances and an atmosphere you could almost touch. We'll take you behind the scenes with meeting manager Alfons Juck and director Martin Škarba, the driving forces behind the event's success. Among the standout moments: Serbia's Angelina Topić soaring over the two-metre mark to set a new national record, Sweden's Louise Ekman securing third place with a personal best of 1.96 metres, and Czech star Jan Štefela claiming victory under the guidance of his coach Jaroslav Bába, who himself won here back in 2005. World-class heights, a packed arena, and moments that linger long after the bar comes down — that's the magic of Banskobystrická latka. As always, the programme concludes with a new edition of our language corner, Slovak Sound Check.

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.

Are healthcare clowns closer to artists — or to healthcare assistants? This week, we take a closer look at the work of ČERVENÝ NOS Clowndoctors, a professional organization bringing humor, empathy, and human connection into hospitals and care facilities across Slovakia. In 2025 alone, the organization carried out nearly 3,000 healthcare clown visits nationwide. Executive Director Milan Šagát explains how a wide range of specialized programs supports children, seniors, families, and medical staff — and why laughter, when taken seriously, can play a meaningful role in the healing process. In the latest episode of Slovak Sound Check, Veronika and Lubna open the calendar and guide you through days, weeks, months, and years — all the way to forming full dates in Slovak.

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.
