Zvedavosť

Zvedavosť is a broad Denník N podcast feed where several interview and audio formats sit under one roof. Its identity comes from curiosity rather than from a single host persona. The episodes move quickly across Slovak public life, culture, science, religion, sport, and literature. A Dá sa to conversation follows Vladimír Špánik as he explains why working with Roma boys and improving a shared space can begin with personal self-interest and become public good. The exchange is warm, direct, and practical. It asks what community work looks like when it is not a slogan but a room, a garden, a routine, and trust built over time. Another episode turns to artificial intelligence through Matúš Mesarčík, using AI images in the style of a famous animation studio as a way into copyright, authorial style, ethics, and regulation. The question is not treated as a culture-war shortcut. It becomes a careful distinction between protected works, creative influence, legal limits, and what artists are owed when machines learn from art. The Hiking podcast episode with Eva Mareková brings the same concrete approach to mountain ultra-running. It spends time on equipment, first races, food, fear in the forest, community, competition, and the long arc toward Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc. Kóšer podcast shifts the lens again, explaining rabbinical court, conversion to Judaism, preparation, community life, and Central European Jewish connection through a conversational roundtable. The book-reading episode changes the pace. Its excerpt from Annie Jacobsenová’s Jadrová vojna is grave, detailed, and deliberately unsettling, describing nuclear attack, burns, overwhelmed hospitals, radiation, and the collapse of rescue. Moja Muzika returns the feed to cultural memory, with Martin Višňovský and Michael Káščák talking about Chiki liki tu-a, Bez ladu a skladu, clubs, touring, Czech and Slovak scenes, and the work behind a long musical life. Across all of this, Zvedavosť favors people who can explain a lived world from the inside. It is brisk without feeling shallow. The best moments happen when an abstract subject becomes a story someone can point to. For PlayNext listeners, the appeal is range: one feed can be humane, technical, outdoorsy, religious, severe, and funny-adjacent without flattening those differences.
