Hello and welcome to Bulgaria Today, the English-language podcast of Radio Bulgaria, on October 23 hosted by Rositsa Petkova.
We beging with news from Bulgaria with the latest developments surrounding security in the Black Sea, as Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Rumen Radev challenges the wording of a European Parliament resolution. We’ll also look at the debate over a proposed increase in the minimum wage and Google’s new investment in Bulgaria’s artificial intelligence research, and of course the weather report for the weekend.
Later in the programme, we’ll meet Bulgarian chef Nedko Rusev, whose career has taken him from Kardzhali to the kitchens serving British royalty, and discover how his Bulgarian venison moussaka has become a hit on hospital menus in the UK.
And to round off the edition, we’ll revisit the enduring magic of Bulgarian pop music with the story of Maria Neykova’s much-loved classic “The World Is Made for Two”, before enjoying a piece of contemporary Bulgarian jazz performed by the Bulgarian National Radio Big Band.
Stay with us for half an hour of Bulgarian news, stories and music!
