Our pre-Festival podcasts in Slovak language address the theme of freedom and art. In culture, the theme is not so new that we wouldn’t know that it periodically appears in connection with threats to
democracy and human rights. It this comes as no surprise that many influential figures have
addressed it over history. As their ideas have loss none of their currency, it is well worth to
revisit them. The Festival has in store four podcasts.
A series of three podcasts are entitled Fictional Conversations on Freedom with Non-fiction authors. Two are produced in cooperation with Zuzana Galková, playwright and editor at Radio Devín, who spoke with George Orwell and Alja Rachmanowa. The third is an interview with Michael Krimmel and Viktor Seidler (produced by Iveta Škripková) and Doris Lessing (produced by Michaela Gádošiová).
The fourth podcast, produced by Terézia Šusteková, focuses to the Festival and the
development of volunteerism and civic solidarity.
