HOW TO BECOME AN AMBASSADOR IN FRANCE AND HOW NOT TO GET YOUR NOSE CONFUSED

In a new two-on-one format, Jan Zatloukal and Jarmila Beková will interview diplomat, former ambassador to France, journalist and translator Petr Janyška. The discussion will revolve around diplomacy and the current state of France, but we will also delve into literature, translation and samizdat. What does it take to become a diplomat? Which French politician surprised Petr Janyška the most, for better or worse? Did he experience any diplomatic faux pas? And where will France go after Macron? French melodies performed by the chamber duo Jarmila Beková and Richard Mlynář will permeate this engaging talk.
