ENG/ New Neighbours (Noví Susedia) is a narrative podcast that talks about the big and small things, the facts and stories that are emblematic to Ukraine and its people. The podcast informs about Ukraine’s past and present, about the obvious topics as well as the ones that are just beneath the surface.

The podcast addresses a big topic: since the launch of the full-scale Russian war in Ukraine, over 100 000 Ukrainians have made Slovakia their new home. However, Slovaks don’t know much about its eastern neighbour – Ukraine. The podcast tries to bring Slovaks and Ukrainians closer, provide conversational ice-breakers, and help aid in more mutual understanding
