The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Printing in Slovenia: From Revolutionary Words to the World Travel Market 26:05

منذ 1 year26:05

At the Slovenian pavilion as part of the famous World Travel Market in London, the star attraction in 2023 was an enormous, old-fashioned mechanical printing press. Alongside it was shelving full of all the analogue tools of the trade a printer would need: shelf upon shelf of letters cast in lead in various fonts and sizes, inks—altogether around three tons of material that had been transported by truck from Ljubljana. Guests could come to the pavilion and take home a beautiful souvenir colour travel poster , printed on the very machine on show, featuring Ljubljana’s market and Triple Bridge. They could also meet my guest for this episode, master printer Marko Drpic . In this episode, we look at how printing of books in particular helped Slovenia toward independence, and how tourists can participate in their own printmaking workshops while visiting. At the old print shop in Ljubljana , you can become a manual typesetter, designer, and printer. You’ll select the letters for the alphabet poster and learn how carefully they need to be set to make a good impression. You’ll select the colour of the alphabet and apply the ink to the letters. Then you can make the first impression. And probably a second one and perhaps another until the poster is perfect. The Slovenian Tourist Board (STB) has designated Art and Culture as the overarching communication theme for 2024 and 2025. Cultural tourism, renowned for its sustainability , appeals to travellers seeking authentic experiences , a deep connection with local heritage, and a genuine immersion in artistic creativity. With its top artists, a year-round calendar of inspiring events, and a wealth of cultural heritage, Slovenia is poised to captivate visitors 365 days a year .

Jože Plečnik: Slovenia’s Architectural Shining Star 28:25

This episode is all about Jože Plečnik , Slovenia’s greatest architect and, according to the host of Feel Slovenia the podcast, Dr. Noah Charney, Slovenia's greatest artist in any medium. Plečnik is the darling of architectural historians but he is not a household name the way his contemporaries, Antoni Gaudi, Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, are. That is largely because he chose to do most of his work in his hometown of Ljubljana, away from the grand artistic centers of Modernism. To get to know Plečnik , there is no better place to visit than Ljubljana . And to learn more about him, Dr. Noah Charney spoke to two experts, Ana Porok of the Plečnik House Museum and Peter Krečič , former director of the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana —and his PhD mentor, as Charney's own doctoral dissertation was on the life and work of this brilliant architect. Architect Jože Plečnik's masterpieces in Ljubljana have earned a distinguished place on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites, acknowledging their exceptional cultural and natural heritage significance. Learn more about his work. Also, we invite you to embark on an exciting Slovenia Unique Experience named "Master Plečnik" . The tour will take you through UNESCO's Ljubljana with Plečnik, delving into the world of this visionary master. Join a small-group experience to intimately explore Plečnik's legacy and follow the trail of his plans and visions, gaining unique insights into his achievements and discovering countless fascinating architectural details.
