746a Goodbye Eastern Europe; The Long Field in Wales
About this episode
The episode explores the modernization of Eastern Europe and the unique aspects of Welsh culture through the perspectives of a historian and an artist.
A historian helps us re-envision Europe's eastern half, from the Baltics to the Balkans, with a lively account of how most of the region's countries have modernized since the Cold War, and of the challenges they face today. And an American-born artist and creative-writing teacher shares her joy of being "Welsh by choice," telling us of Welsh words that describe feelings we don't easily express in English.
