Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio

As part of the Gothic Route project, the gates of eleven historic churches in the Gemer and Malohont regions open to tourists during the season. Experts gather regularly to discuss the latest research into the region’s medieval cultural heritage. Peter Palgut, Dušan Buran and Ivan Foletti share insights from this year’s conference. On Friday, 16 October, Slovak Radio paid tribute to a legend of 20th-century radio broadcasting in what is now Slovakia. Štefan Horský died on 5 October 2026, aged 97. In this RSI obituary, Martina Greňová Šimkovičová looks back at excerpts from her 2018 interview with the iconic broadcaster. And to round off the programme, we head to Bratislava for a world-class contemporary dance festival currently under way.
