Robert Šarman is known to many as the man who helped them through his work as a physiotherapist. He has worked at Maribor Hospital and is now in practice on his own in Slovenska Bistrica. He has other skills too and one of them is as the front man of the well-known band Jebe’la Cesta. You can expect an interesting conversation and some good music then!
Ivo Boscarol is quite an inspiration. He looks at fine detail in design and construction in a way that most would not bother. Mind you that’s why he been making planes that few other manufacturers could aspire to and doing it for so long. This is a great journey through the stories of Ivo Boscarol’s background and some of the things he did on the way to success. And you can see why no one else in the world can currently produce a production electric plane and he’s been doing it for 11 years! You’ll love the music too!
We recently heard optimistic words from Janez Potočnik speaking at the recent Forum for Food and Agriculture. In spite of rarely being in Slovenia these days I was greatly honoured to be offered time to discus food and other environment issues just a few weeks ago. His environmental role as European Commissioner for the Environment was one that he really wanted as it allowed him an opportunity to advance many ideas for the future. Don't miss this valuable conversation about how we should all behave to ensure our future.
Tanja Španič was very young when everything in her life was put into question, in her own words "It wasn't something you expect at the age of 26!" Tanja had a lump in her breast which turned out to be a carcinoma. She is experienced in the field of medicine and her positive outlook clearly helped her to accept what this diagnosis meant. Today Tanja is a patient advocate and the current president of Europe Donna Slovenia. She is great fun to be with and has a broad love of music. What more could I ask for a guest on this show?
It's the time of year when the tourists are just beginning to arrive in Slovenia and everything should be in place for the season. The area of Bled is one the the most well-known here and it will host many thousands of people over the months ahead. So what are the rationales behind the tourism of the region, is the pricing correct and the quality high enough to ensure that everyone goes away to become ambassadors for Slovenia. I asked the Head of the Bled Tourist Board, Tomaž Rogelj, to answer some of these questions.
When Jure Poglajen and his friend David planned their holiday on Lesbos they did not consider the fast changing situation there with refugees arriving every day. They discovered the issue before leaving Slovenia but rather than change their plans they simply went with a new intent, to do what they could to help the plight of refugees. Now the story continues with money raising events to carry on the help and find resources for the children and mothers there who are in desperate need of assistance. Hear the story and support the event on 4th May at 20:00 at Hotel Habakuk in Maribor.
John D Antone is an artist but maybe that doesn't really say what he does, not even saying sculptor truly describes the beauty this man finds and turns into amazing pieces of great detail. John lives in America but he is a regular here in Slovenia as he not only has customers here but he has great respect for a local forge where he casts his works in bronze and then ships many of them back to America. Find out all the details by listening to the show and visiting: JohnDAntone.com
If you are a lover of country music then this is the show for you as I enjoy a conversation with Peter Orešič. Peter decided that he liked country from an early age and has become so involved that he regularly travels to America to see the many country stars that he has had the pleasure of meeting over the years. He even makes radio shows to be transmitted in America. Lots of details of the performers and the music styles as well as nine tracks to enjoy!
Raphael Wressnig was brought up in Southern Austria, he went to music school in Bad Radkersburg and then had some good fortune as he was part of the opening band for a concert of Blues artist Larry Garner and was asked to stay on with his Hammond organ to play with Larry's band. It lead to touring Europe and then America. Since he has made contacts with musicians all over the world and has many great stories to tell. He's a great musician and I am very happy to have had the chance to produce this show.
His Excellency Dr Pierre-Yves Fux is nearing the end of his role as the Swiss Ambassador to Slovenia and he is certainly enthusiastic about his time here. From walking from one side of the country to the other to engaging in the organisation of educational discussions he has certainly become involved in life in Ljubljana and the country as a whole. He brings a fresh and very different range of music to the programme too.
If you ever doubted the need for chambers of commerce you must listen to this inspiring lady. AmCham has been around for some time and most might expect it to be entirely about generating business between Slovenia and America but there is much more. From building effective partnerships with Slovene ministries to focusing on education, health, employment and also building bridges with foreign embassies is just a start. Listen and hear CEO Ajša Vodnik's very personal story of inspirations. It's all about optimism, community, opportunity and respect.
Charlie Butter Fly has been on the Slovene music scene for a few years now but since the recent release of their video and a number of well received performances they are become rather well known. I felt that it was time to discover some more about them and what makes this band work. They have some classic bands as inspirations so this show is not only fun but it includes nothing but great music AND that includes their tracks too!
Susie Dent is a lexicographer, that is she works with words. In English, German and French, now that is something special. Susie is also well known in the UK for her television appearances on Countdown as a wordsmith and general contributor to this very entertaining show. She was visiting Slovenia as a guest speaker at the recent Media Marketing conference SEMPL held in Portorož. It seemed a great opportunity to talk with someone from my homeland. She brings some great music to the show as well.
The initial reason to invite Matic Ačko to the show was I had been informed that he was involved in slam poetry. What’s that? I didn’t know either. In fact its been around for quite a while and has become quite popular around Slovenia. Matic also plays in a band, so has some great music to share as well. Find out about poetry, music, architecture and much more in this interesting conversation.
Oliver Vodeb believes that the economic model that most companies use is less than perfect. Indeed he is firmly of the belief that ALL companies should consider that a significant part of their focus should be for the benefit of citizens and the survival of the world around us. Shareholders and profit should no longer be the sole focus. He also offers some music that you probably have not heard before, unless you are Australian that is!
There are several choices when it comes to your child's education so I am always interested to discover what is happening around Europe in the area of primary education. Alec Templeton has been brought up and lived in many different countries and so has a unique insight into this issue both as a child and as a teacher of children and teachers. Some valuable thoughts are here!
As a director of MediaPool, Valerija Prevolšek has great experience of marketing and media. This November marks the 19th SEMPL conference which brings speakers and experts from all over the world to Slovenia so I thought it would be interesting to bring Valerija into the studio to find out what's behind this successful annual event. She also offers some great music choices too!
Mojca Jug is a Theatre Producer with the Bunker in Ljubljana. It's the NGO that organises so many festivals and events to promote music from all around Europe whilst offering many opportunities for both well-known and less well-known Slovene artists to discover more about performing and networking. Much of what she is involved in showcases at the Old Power Station in Ljubljana where music, theatre and other events take place all year round. Like many of her audience members she introduces artists I have never heard of and which I'm very happy to have discovered. This show is no exception, hopefully you will discover some new music that will inspire you.
We all have to eat but all to often we don't really pay attention to what the food we eat is doing to us. My guest this week has come to pay special attention to what she and her partner eats for very special health reasons. She has her own TV show iin New Zealand and travels offering others advice though cookery workshops. This is a really inspirational story of surviving a major life problem and Teresa offers some really great music too. By the way she is originally from Slovenia.
A large part of the career of Dave Birss was as creative director in some of the biggest and best advertising agencies in the UK. Now he is breaking myths about creativity with the aim of individuals learning new skills, and companies beginning to think differently to achieve better results. I caught up with him on his trip to Ljubljana to give a talk on just that. He is a musician too so you can be sure of some great tracks in the show.
