The million dollar (or crown...or euro...) edition! Make it. Save it. Spend it. Lose it. But who can live without it?
When night falls ... another side of the city awakes.
In this edition, we venture out to experience Prague at the witching hour.
Food (Glorious) Food... from sour dough to kofola, stinky cheese to rendang, and not forgetting the mysterious Old Bohemian Trdelnik, which is neither Old nor Bohemian. We're ready to take your order...
The opposite of love? Wait, that's indifference....Are Czechs really a nation of haterz? And are they gonna hate?
Love is....what exactly? I mean, really, what is it? And where do you find it in Prague?

In this first edition of the PragueCast, we mark the 25th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution - the peaceful overthrow of Communism in Czechoslovakia.

And do people born after 1989 care? Take a listen.
