Dear friends, welcome to Bulgaria Today on January 3!  

We have some festive programming for you on our podcast today as we are still in the 3-day new year’s break.

First, we bring you an interview with a Bulgarian entrepreneur living in Germany – how did Rangel Valchanov make a sharp career move from a job in the Bundestag to starting his own successful business?

Next, we talk to Bulgarian film director Stefan Komandarev about his latest project focusing on the lives of senior Bulgarians, a film concluding a trilogy on the state of modern Bulgarian society.

And then in the second part of our show, of course, we have a selection of Bulgarian pop music for you.

Have an enjoyable listen!
