  • The Czech people have been greatly influenced by their European neighbors through the centuries. Many speculate that these influences have colored and shaped their viewpoint on the world around them. Foreign political pressures have, at times, isolated the Czech people from foreign contact and cultural exchange. In the 21st Century, the Czech people continue to struggle with age-old rivalries and exposure to a variety of new challenges on the world stage.

  • My co-host, Travis Dow, from the History of Alchemy Podcasts, details his adventure speaking Yiddish in the Ukraine and ignorantly overcoming Transnistrian separatists in Moldova. This interview will highlight some of the differences between Central and Eastern Europe, or even "former Warsaw Pact" and "former Soviet Union". This is an interesting and cautionary tale for those adventurers backpacking across Europe. Gather 'round children. It's story time.

  • Houska Castle is generally known as the most haunted castle in all of Bohemia. A large gash in the limestone rock opened up a "bottomless pit" sometime in the 12th century. A holy chapel was built on the site to cover this "Pit to Hell" and later a castle was constructed to guard against whatever could come out of that hole. Houska Castle welcomes thousands of visitors every year to showcase this structure with a legendary and mysterious past full of paranormal activity.

  • The history of the Jewish people in Prague is one of triumph and heartbreak, setbacks and survival. Long an integral part of the citizenry of Prague, the Jewish community adapted to various regal mandates and survived horrible medieval pogroms. Rabbi Loew's 16th century leadership and faith inspired succeeding generations and a mythical man of clay was said to protect the innocent of Prague. Throughout the dark days of medieval justice and a 20th century holocaust, the Jews of Prague persevered. Join us for a look into the history of Jewish Prague.
