Where Home Lives Ep 2 - Love Across the Oceans - Czech Where Home Lives Ep 2 - Love Across the Oceans - Czech Odjet za láskou na druhý konec světa zní romanticky. Ale co se stane, když romantika narazí na běžný život? Když si vezmete člověka z jiné země, neberete si jen jeho - berete si s ním i jeho kulturu. V tomhle díle se podíváme na to, co všechno přinese společný život, když se ve vztahu daji dohromady dva lide z opacnych koutu sveta - od rodiny, komunikace a tradic až někdy překvapivě I k nábytku. A taky na to, co vztah opravdu drží pohromadě, co může ztratit ten, kdo se kvůli lásce přestěhuje do jiné země, a proč je někdy důležitější snazit se toho druheho pochopit než mít pravdu. Listen

Back Porch Bluegrass Show - 29-09-2026 Back Porch Bluegrass Show - 29-09-2026 From the ‘modern’ country sound of the 1970’s Osborne Brothers to the very traditional bluegrass sound of Curly Seckler, there’s a lot to like in this episode of the Back Porch Bluegrass Show. The Price Sisters, Joe Stuart, James Price the fiddler, and Bill Clifton playing with his European bluegrass connections. BJ Blue & Brittany Allyn rock with a bluegrass version of a very rocky country tune, and the HCBB play a song learned from the Osborne Brothers version of an English pop song! Rhonda Vincent sings a gospel song, and the East Tennessee State University bluegrass programme members take us out with some great original bluegrass. Listen

Ep 174 - The Intersection of Pop, Rock and Classical Ep 174 - The Intersection of Pop, Rock and Classical Over the course of this Podcast series I’ve delved into all kinds of odd corners. Composers inspired by esoteric spirituality and science fiction, music of the paranormal and the strange world of outsider composers to name but a few. Then there’s one of my favourite episodes - the search for the Cloud Atlas Sextet - the fictional work at the heart of one of my favourite novels, David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas. All of which has been a lot of fun and following in the spirit of that tradition, this week it’s pop and rock music that’s cross-pollinated with classical. Alice Sarah Ott performs Claude Debussy - Reverie. Larry Clinton’s Big Band and vocalist Bea Wain perform Clinton and Debussy - My Reverie. The Boston Symphony Orchestra performs Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18: II. Adagio sostenuto. Eric Carmen - All By Myself. The Summit Brass and Pianist Theodore Lichtmann perform Paul Hidemith - Sonata for Tuba and Piano. PaulMcCartney - Blackbird. London Symphony Orchestra performs Aaron Copland - Fanfare for the Common Man. Emerson, Lake and Palmer perform Aaron Copland - Fanfare for the Common Man. Nick Ward - Piano ft. Glenn Gould. Glenn Gould performs Johann Sebastian Bach - Goldberg Variations (1955 Recording): Variation 5 a 1 ovvero 2 Clav. The Oxtet perform Paul Hindemith - Sonata for Bass Tuba and Piano. Exploring classical music in all its glories and complexities. From the sweetest melodic to the cutting edge of the avant-garde... from the deep past to the freshest contemporary. All of it. The joy of classical music. Listen
