Katarina is an award-winning podcast producer, journalist, and reporter.

She has over a decade of experience in radio journalism, concentrating on interviews, reports and in-depth, long-form packages in English and Slovak. She has contributed TV reports to CNN and cooperated on various radio programs with the BBC, the Austrian ORF – FM4 and Inside Central Europe.  In 2015 she was named finalist in the first-ever world Podcast Accelerator of the prestigious WNYC. 

Katarina now focuses on producing podcasts of different formats, from interview-based ones to complex narrative podcasts and docu-series. She has been covering a wide range of topics: from the history of Cold War espionage, the Muslim community and Ukrainians becoming “new neighbours” in Slovakia, electric mobility, Generation Z,  to the surprisingly rebellious world of knitting.

In 2021, her podcast “The Secret Struggle for Cold War Dominance” won the Lovie Award for Best podcast series in Science and Education. In 2023 she was named finalist at the Slovak National Journalism Prize for her podcast “A Pinch of Saffron” looking at the Muslim community living in Slovakia. In 2023 her narative podcast series “New Neighbours” (Novi Susedia) has been shortlisted among the top 4 best podcasts in Europe in the category News and Politics. 

Katarina enjoys taking on difficult topics and telling them through stories, or other non-traditional formats. She loves talking to people, recording sounds wherever she goes and is always looking for the next-big challenge.
