I like to think of myself as a journalistic omnivore. Having worked for Czech National Public Television, UNESCO in Paris, and the BBC World Service in London, I found my calling at Czech Radio in 2022. After spending years as a correspondent in Belgium, the United States, and Poland, I returned to my beloved Vysočina Region in 2017 and began producing various programs, primarily for radio but also for other media. Among other projects, I started hosting Czechast, a podcast in English about all things Czech, for the English Service of Radio Prague International and joined its staff in 2024. Although I am now officially based in Prague, I still love to travel and record programs in various regions and consider the whole of beautiful Czechia my office.
