Finally, episode 9 is here! It's an interview with Jan Vaculík, owner and publisher of the Texas-based Czech language newspaper Hospodář, which was founded in 1890 in Omaha, Nebraska. Mr. Vaculík, who has been publishing Hospodár for over thirty years, prides himself on the independent nature of the newspaper. His goal, as he says in the interview, is to provide education, enlightenment, and a diversity of views. More information about Hospodář can be found at this link. If you would like to hear an English version of this interview, let me know and I will create one just for you!

Konečně je tu díl 9, rozhovor s Janem Vaculíkem, majitelem a vydavatelem novin Hospodář. Jsou to noviny v čestině, nyní vydávané v Texasu, ale původně založeny roku 1890 v Omaze, Nebrasce. Pan Vaculík, který noviny vydává již přes třicet let, je hrdý na nezávislý charakter svých novin. Jeho cíl, jak ostatně říká v rozhovoru, je poskytnout čtenářum jak osvětu a moznost se naučit něco nového, tak různorodost nazorů. Více informací o Hospodáři najdete zde. Rozhovor jsme podnikli jen v čestine, tak kdyby si někdo z vás přál slyšet anglickou verzi, dejte vědět a provedu to jen pro Vás!
