The official international broadcasting station of the Czech republic offers its programmes as podcasts in six different languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Czech and Russian. The station’s website features a wide range of content, covering current affairs, business, arts, culture, history and sport. The podcasts are available to be downloaded in mp3 format or can be streamed and archived material goes back as far as 2005. A typical example is this interview with head of the Czech National Film Archive, Michael Bregant, in which he explains how during the Communist era staff had to resort to subterfuge to hide and preserve valuable film materials from the authorities.
The podcasts are accompanied by summaries, full transcripts and illustrated with stills and photographs. The History section of the archive is particularly interesting with sections devoted to 1968, the communist era, World War II and Czech-German relations. There is also some interesting contextual material in the form of illustrated essays, including a history of Czech radio and a detailed look at the history of Radio Prague
