Hi, it’s David here, and welcome to another episode of Coffee and Rakija, the podcast where I share my life as an Englishman living in the beautiful and sometimes surprising Balkans.
I'll be sharing stories from the perspective of an over 70's guy, living in rural Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I'll also explore the stories, culture, and a slice of life from my rural village that make this corner of the world so special for me.
I’m really glad you’ve decided to join me today.
In today’s episode, I’m coming to you from my misty, waterlogged garden in northwest Bosnia. Donning my trusty bobble hat, I reflect on life here in the Western Balkans as winter takes hold.
In this chat, I share updates about my content journey, including experimenting with a new microphone setup, meet the Zoom H3, complete with a fluffy “dead cat” windshield! I’ll also touch on the magic of audio storytelling, the beauty of birdsong (yes, woodpeckers made a guest appearance), and the joys of living simply in this serene corner of the world.
💬 What to Expect in This Episode:
• The charm of a rainy Balkan winter day 🌧️
• Exciting audio gear upgrades and future plans for content
• Reflections on building community and the art of storytelling
• Sneak peeks into upcoming podcasts and celebrations of two Christmases!
Whether you’re a regular listener or discovering the podcast for the first time, this episode is all about connection, creativity, and embracing the little things that make life in the Balkans so unique.
Stay warm, stay well, and let’s keep building this vibrant community together! 🌟
