Welcome to Bulgaria Today, the English-language podcast of Radio Bulgaria, on April 18 hosted by Rositsa Petkova.

Today is a special day in this country – the Friday of the Holy Week, in anticipation of Easter, called Good Friday by the Christian Church. Stay with us for a special selection of topics and Orthodox music from Radio Bulgaria!

We will bring you an interview with Associate Professor Arsenia Ivanova: who says that humility is a journey into self, without limits for the human soul, talent, and ambition.
Next, an interview with Catholic priest Father Paolo Cortesi who believes that more and more people from all Christian Churches are working for unity these days.

In our music slot at the end we commemorate 130 years since the birth of celebrated Bulgarian singer Gyurga Pindzurova with one of her performances of Bulgarian folk songs.
Have an enjoyable listen!
