| 6/24/26 | ![]() Green Slovakia: Environmental Sciences at TUZVO (24.6.2026 16:00) | In this episode of our Green Slovakia series, we explore how the Technical University in Zvolen (TUZVO) is helping to educate the next generation of Slovak conservationists. We speak with Vice-Dean for International Relations Tomáš Lepeška about the university’s history, its environmental science programmes, and the opportunities available to students. We then head into the Tatra Mountains for a field excursion, where we meet students and Professor Michal Wiezik, environmental scientist and Member of the European Parliament. Together, they discuss the value of hands-on learning, the realities of conservation work in the field, and the challenges facing the environmental movement across Europe. | — | ||||||

| 6/22/26 | ![]() The Long Goodbye: Ending 23 Years of Occupation. (22.6.2026 16:00) | On 21 June 1991, the last transport carrying Soviet troops crossed Czechoslovakia's eastern border, bringing to an end the 23-year military presence that followed the Warsaw Pact invasion of August 1968. Today, we look back on the events that shaped an entire generation with historian Peter Jašek from the National Memory Institute (ÚPN). Together, we trace the story from the invasion and subsequent occupation to the withdrawal of Soviet forces in the wake of the Velvet Revolution. Drawing on archival recordings, we also revisit the memories of key figures from the period, including Michael Kocáb, who served as deputy chairman of the parliamentary commission overseeing the withdrawal of the Central Group of Soviet Forces from Czechoslovakia. | — | ||||||

| 6/19/26 | ![]() Slovak Phil to tour Japan. POHODA turns 30. KVANTUM festival starts. (19.6.2026 16:00) | One of Slovakia’s most effective ambassadors of cultural diplomacy is the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra. In the summer of 2026, the Slovak Philharmonic has been invited to tour Japan for the fifteenth time since 1980. While 30th edition of Pohoda begins on 8 July — extended this year by an additional opening day featuring a concert by The Cure — numerous other festivals will also be taking place across Slovakia. One of them is the Kvantum Festival, held in the village of Podhradie beneath Topoľčany Castle. | — | ||||||
| 6/18/26 | ![]() Hate Crimes in Slovakia: Targeted for Being Different. (18.6.2026 16:00) | According to statistics from the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic, 68 criminal offenses with a racial or extremist motive were recorded in 2025. However, these figures do not reflect the large number of cases that go unreported. Hate crimes are a problem affecting society as a whole because they target victims based on their perceived “difference” — such as nationality, ethnic origin, religion, language, skin color, or sexual orientation. For years, the Human Rights League, with the support of the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic, has provided accredited professional assistance—including legal, social, and psychological support—to victims of such crimes. On the occasion of the International Day for Countering Hate Speech (June 18), we spoke about the situation in Slovakia, the impact of hate crimes, and the support available to victims with Lukáš Novák, lawyer at the Human Rights League and coordinator of its victim-support project, Silvia Moravčíková, a social worker, and Marianna Heřmánková, a psychologist from IPčko. | — | ||||||
| 6/17/26 | ![]() Ideas That Heal: New Frontiers in Slovak Research. (17.6.2026 16:00) | In this feature, we explore two innovative research projects being developed in Slovakia.

Together, they offer a glimpse into how Slovak science is helping shape the future of healthcare and technology. | — | ||||||

| 6/1/26 | ![]() MIB’s “City for Children”: Building a Child-Friendly Bratislava. Slovak Sound Check Episode 47. (1.6.2026 16:00) | Parenting counsellor Martina Vagačová says that walking to school independently helps children build self-confidence, responsibility and social skills. Yet many parents are hesitant because they do not see public spaces and traffic as safe enough for children. The Metropolitan Institute of Bratislava (MIB) is searching for solutions through its Mesto pre deti (City for Children) project. By combining urban planning, traffic solutions and community participation, the initiative aims to improve areas around schools and encourage walking and cycling instead of relying on cars. Today, MIB urbanist Sandra Štasselová and architect Marianna Páleníková explain why safe streets, accessible public spaces, greenery and active mobility are essential for a healthy and functional city — not only for children, but for everyone. In playful Children’s Day episode of Slovak Sound Check, we learn useful vocabulary connected to playground activities while keeping things fun, and beginner-friendly. | — | ||||||

| 5/28/26 | ![]() Organization Cesta Von: Fighting Generational Poverty. (28.5.2026 16:00) | Today's programme talks about the organization Cesta Von, focusing on their largest project Omama, which focuses on supporting children growing up in generational poverty from their earliest years. Trained women from marginalized Roma communities (known as “omamas”) regularly visit families, helping parents develop their children’s skills and prepare them for a more successful start in school and in life. The aim is not only to support children, but also to provide employment and education for local women, who themselves become part of positive change within their communities. The guests of the programme will be the organization’s director Martin Hrica, analyst and researcher Shoshanna Chovan, and a field worker — omama Zuzka with her mentor Janka. | — | ||||||

In our conversation, we discussed his work on zoonotic viruses in Slovakia and beyond, the role of the European Virus Archive, and the ongoing challenge of combating misinformation in science and public health. | — | ||||||
