You can tell the podcast host puts time into researching each episode and engaging with each guest. I would definitely recommend this podcast to anyone curious about the history or contemporary legacy of Yugosl... more

  • Professionally made, this podcast is a pleasure to listen. Source: for many years I was a radio journalist and editor. I know what I am talking about. It is amazing how a person that had never lived in Yugoslavia has that level of knowledgable approach to our former homeland. I am also amazed by his English language skill. Continue, there are many themes that can be given here.
