In their paper, Pavel Havlíček of the Association for International Affairs in Prague and Adam Balcer from the College of Eastern Europe argument that the Czech Republic and Poland have the potential to serve as a central political nexus for the entire region. In the podcast, Havlíček, the Czech expert, emphasizes the shared political positions between Prague and Warsaw, particularly on issues such as Russian aggression in Ukraine and other pivotal European matters. As the collaboration between the two capitals deepens over time, it holds the promise of not only garnering support from other regional capitals for the collective benefit of stakeholders within the EU and NATO frameworks, but also marginalizing  detrimental policies of Hungary's Viktor Orban.

This podcast has emerged as a result of the project "Czech-Polish Cooperation in Eastern Europe at the Turn of New Opportunities" implemented by the Association for International Affairs (AMO) in Prague and College of Eastern Europe (KEW) and was supported by the Czech-Polish Forum.

Several factors suggest that despite his illiberal rhetoric, the new Slovak Prime Minister, Robert Fico, may not significantly alter the country's policies. Slovakia is deeply integrated into both the EU and NATO, and PM Fico, being an experienced politician, recognizes the importance of Ukrainian independence. Tomáš Strážay of the Slovak Foreign Policy Association also emphasizes the significance of the V4 forum in the region, noting that its informal format facilitates the resolution of profound differences among member states.

A project Protecting European Values. The podcast was co-funded by the European Commission.

After several years of political crisis, the cards are reshuffled in the Slovak National Council. Veteran PM Robert Fico’s left-wing Smer party finished first, although, not many predicted a bright future for the sovereignist politician after his resignation as head-of-government in 2018. The pro-West liberal Progressive Slovakia party came in second, while the pro-EU social democratic Hlas received the third most votes. Led by ex-PM Peter Pellegrini, the latter party found itself in the kingmaker's position in the government coalition formation process as a result of the long-awaited early parliamentary election in Slovakia. “Far above the Tatras, lightning bolts are pounding” – In our newest podcast episode, Dr. Jaroslav Ušiak from the Matej Bel University guides us through the political storms of Slovakia.

With the help of guest experts and politicians, in the podcast series of MCC’s Centre for Political Science we endeavor to analyze which actors are the real winners of the parliamentary and municipal elections taking place this year in different European countries and what exactly can be considered a real victory after the ballot counts.

Episode 225 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features the first goaltender selected in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft and winner of the Top Goaltender award at the 2023 World Junior Championship, Adam Gajan.

In the feature interview, presented by Sense Arena, the Chicago Blackhawks second round pick talks about his experience from being left off the Slovakian World Junior Roster to becoming a late addition as third goaltender to unlikely hero, defeating the United States and taking fellow Blackhawks draft pick Connor Bedard and the Canadians in a 57-shot overtime game, that Bedard ultimately ended. We learn how Gajan came to playoff Chippewa of the NAHL, to developing his elite puckhandling skills and the coach that enabled it, and how he handled the big-game pressure with a humble confidence.

All that, plus an in-person trip to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports where we look at CCM’s new EFlex 6 skate, what sets it apart from other models and why it’s worth considering for your next purchase even as other skates on the market garner considerable attention.

We wanted to share what the Lord is doing through our evangelism and discipleship outreach this Summer. We preached the gospel in Slovakia, Austria, and the US.
We hope you are encouraged and challenged through this praise report.

Notes from Eremocene (Berlinale Forum, 2023) by Viera Čákanyová is an experimental documentary that delves into the future possibilities of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence. Through a captivating blend of analog footage and 3D scanner images, Čákanyová captures the clash between traditional and digital elements of contemporary society.

This is her third feature, concluding a trilogy that began with her debut work, FREM (2019), followed by the documentary White on White (2020). Across all three films, she explores the same themes: artificial intelligence, a dystopian future for humanity, analog versus digital, nature versus civilization, and climate change.

In a fun conversation about serious matters, this episode explores Čákanyová's artistic process, which can be solitary at times, and her approach to sound, editing, and cinematography. We also delve into the different perspectives she inhabits in each of her films and the profound questions these films raise about our existence and the future of our societies.

 This week on the podcast we took a look at a paranormal cave in Slovakia. I still have no idea what this cave could possible be and I'm excited to hear the theories you guys come up with. It could honestly be anything! Ancient civilization, aliens, a space craft, the list goes on!

Is the cave paranormal or just an unknown rock formation? Maybe someday the cave will be rediscovered.
