New Czech Radio U.S. correspondent Jana Ciglerová on Czech-Americans and MAGA and trading Miami for Washington
About this episode
Jana Ciglerová discusses her transition from Florida to Washington as Czech Radio's correspondent and her experiences with U.S. politics and family life.
Jana Ciglerová is just about to become Czech Radio’s correspondent in Washington. Unusually the journalist is moving there not from Prague but Florida, where she has lived for the best part of a decade and worked for a Czech media outlet. Ahead of this big switch, I asked Ciglerová about everything from keeping up with the non-stop pronouncements of President Trump to how living in the U.S. has shaped her sons’ lives.
