Popis epizódy
On January 4, 1993, independent Slovak Republic launched the radio foreign service. On this occasion, the then general director of public Slovak Radio speaks about the idea behind keeping foreign service going also after the split of Czechoslovakia. The first section to start broadcasting abroad was the Slovak language one. Its editor Elena Seeber talks about its roots in the history of foreign broadcast of Czechoslovak radio that started in 1936. Speaking to colleagues from the English section of Radio Prague, we recall memories of joint projects that were run after the "velvet divorce".
