This week, we bring you the sounds and stories from the magical meadow of Hontianske Nemce, where every August, people of all generations gather for one of Slovakia’s most charming summer festivals — Atmosféra 2025. Here, music, community, and nature come together in a unique celebration of life, creativity, and connection. In this special broadcast, we explore this year’s theme, “Zažnime od seba” (“Let’s ignite from within”), through voices from across the festival: Grétka Pavlovová, the heart and mind behind Atmosféra, musicians Lasky (Para), Jureš (Fallgrapp), and Martin Geišberg, Tomáš Bartoněk from Rádio Junior and the world of kids’ programming, Žaneta Morovská, bringing light, love, and connection to the meadow, and Zdenko and Ema, long-time volunteers sharing what makes Atmosféra feel like home. The new episode of Slovak Sound Check dives into essential vocabulary for getting around and asking for directions in Slovak.
