I've been an admirer of Vít Pohanka's 'Czechast' podcast for a while. I was honored to be interviewed for his episode on the 35th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution. It's on Apple Podcasts or follow this link: #player=on" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">english.radio.cz/czechast-brian…

@MSoghom @elonmusk I worked in the RFE/RL newsroom in Prague for 10 years. There are no ‘crazy leftists’ but hard-working journalists from all around the broadcast region who are working to promote American ideals, like free elections, free markets and free expression.

Mr. Musk, I am an American patriot and I worked 31 years in RFE before retiring 4 years ago. There are no "leftist crazy people" there and Europe is not just Germany and France. What about Russia? What about its persistent disinformation targeting hundreds of millions of other peoples in the region. What about Iran? The one billion also includes China and Cuba.

I promised to talk about Jan Zizka, “severe avenger of the pride and greed of the clergy” for three episodes and finally got round to doing it!

For my first blog post of 2025, I will pull my blog back into a travel-writing direction. ‘The Best of Czechia,’ originally commissioned by Lonely Planet. Aimed at readers new to the Czech Republic and who want to see the highlights or best-known spots. Give it a look:

In September, I spent two weeks at a Czech medical spa - the ‘Beethoven’ in Teplice - to help recover from an unexpected muscle illness. It was fun and weird in equal measure. If you’ve ever thought about a spa stay or think it might someday be in your future, give this a read:

@MikeNellis They did not discuss Harris‘s appearance on ‘The View’ and her answer about how she would differentiate herself from Biden in office. This was a major gaffe. They should’ve anticipated this obvious question and used it as an opportunity to define her.

That's about it. I thought most of it was sticking to the normal talking points, playing things closer to the vest. I get it. I'm also not going to sit here and shit on people. They were in an impossible situation with very little time and sometimes it is what it is. Let me know what you think 👇

I just listened to the Pod Save America episode with VP Harris' leadership team, reflecting on what went wrong in the 2024 presidential election. Here are some quick thoughts on what stood out to me. 🧵

Daniel Day Lewis in a Prague pub, 1986. This was two years before his appearance in the film adaptation of Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being (not shot in 🇨🇿).

@Ian_Willoughby Geert Wilders was one of the first on the scene. He harnessed the anti-Islamic, anti-immigration fear generated by the 9/11 attacks and wrote a playbook that everyone else could copy.
