Czech Next Wave, a podcast produced jointly by the Czech Centres network and Radio Prague International, introduces listeners around the world to emerging, exciting and highly talented young Czechs in various areas of the arts and beyond.
The podcasts are hosted by Ian Willoughby and available at Spotify, iTunes, Google Podcasts and Radio Prague International.
The aim of the podcasts is to bring foreign listeners closer to talented young Czechs – musicians, actors, but also prominent personalities from other fields than arts.
