  • Not representative news

    I know about what is going on Slovakia from other resources and people too. I feel that since state started censoring this media, it is not serving correct facts or not all the facts. Sad.

  • Podcast is okay but the English needs to be corrected. There are sometimes when you do not pronounce English words or say the proper English words to get the proper meaning.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jewish Community Museum – Heritage Rediscovered II. (9.6.2026 16:00)
Q: Before we talk more about the exhibit, can you just give us a brief history of the Jewish Community in Bratislava?
The episode covers a long history beginning with the city's charter in 1291, periodic expulsions, and the development of a vibrant Jewish community centered around synagogues and later the Jewish Community Museum, tracing resilience and cultural memory through centuries.
The Year of Saint Francis & Newest Inflation Report by the National Bank of Slovakia. (4.6.2026 16:00)
Q: So let me start with explaining what we mean by a consumer basket in the first place.
The guest explains that statistical offices and central banks measure price changes by following a representative basket of items a typical household buys, which can include more than 700 items and is weighted by how much of the household budget is spent on each item.
Understanding Viral Threats with Dr. Boris Klempa. (27.5.2026 16:00)
Q: What gives you hope in the field of emerging infectious diseases?
Hope comes from the rapid progress in diagnostics, sequencing technologies, and especially vaccine development, such as mRNA platforms, coupled with strengthened international collaboration and better infrastructure to prepare for and respond to future outbreaks.
Understanding Viral Threats with Dr. Boris Klempa. (27.5.2026 16:00)
Q: How can researchers better communicate risks without inciting undue fear?
Researchers should prioritize clear, transparent communication about what is known and unknown, involve public relations professionals to craft messages for policymakers and the public, and admit uncertainties where they exist to maintain trust and reduce misinformation and vaccine hesitancy.
Understanding Viral Threats with Dr. Boris Klempa. (27.5.2026 16:00)
Q: How has climate change influenced the spread and emergence of zoonotic viruses in Central Europe?
Climate change alters vector and host dynamics, for example by reducing snow cover that changes rodent populations and increases contact with humans, and by expanding the range of tick and mosquito species, which together raise the risk of spillover events and more frequent outbreaks in human populations.
