Where Home Lives Ep 1 - Home and Belonging - Czech Co vlastně dělá domov domovem, když už přes třicet let žijete jinde? V tomhle díle se vracím k věcem, o kterých jsem nikdy nečekala, že mi budou tolik chybět - české lesy, houbaření, Vánoce, známé vtipy a ten samozrejmy pocit, ze nemusíte nic vysvětlovat. A taky k otázce, jestli je domov opravdu místo, nebo spíš lidé, vzpomínky a rituály, které nás pořád spojují s tím, odkud jsme přišli. Listen

Back Porch Bluegrass Show - 15-09-2026 There are many different styles of bluegrass, and in this show we get to hear just some of them. From the ‘early’ classic bluegrass sound of the Stanley Brothers (played by two youngsters emulating their heroes, Ricky Skaggs & Keith Whitley), through the powerful sounds of the Country Gentlemen featuring Charlie Waller, to the folkier sound of Richard Bennett. Women play a large part, so we hear from Sally Jones. Instrumental prowess is always a feature of the music, so we have tunes from master fiddler Kenny Baker, banjo maestro John Hickman, and even NZ’s own Colleen Trenwith with the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band. In between all these we’ve got Kenny & Amanda Smith, the Lonesome River Band, and Marty Stuart. It’s a bluegrass festival packed into a one-hour show! Listen

Ep 172 - Louise Farrenc - A Woman Beyond Her Time Born in an age when women were largely excluded from the world of classical music, Louise Farrenc was an anomaly. Though her talent was considerable, talent alone was not enough to penetrate the male dominated institutions of the 19th century - and here luck was her side. Unusually for the time, her parents supported her in every way they could, as did her husband. Then there was her indomitable spirit. When she ran up against the common sexism the age, she stood up to it and beat it down. Sharon Su performs Louise Farrenc: Étude, Op. 26: No. 10 in F-Sharp Minor. Joanne Polk performs Louise Farrenc - Air russe varié. Linda Di Carlo, Amedeo Cicchese and Sergey Galaktionov perform Louise Farrenc -Cello Sonata in B-Flat Major, Op. 46. The North German Radio Symphony, Hannover performs Louise Farrenc - Symphony No. 3 in G Minor, Op. 36. 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
