| What is a podcast and why don’t you call it Czech? |
| Podcasts are spoken word recordings placed on the Internet where anyone can play them. The plus of podcasts over radio is the ability to listen to your favorite show anytime, anywhere. If you are on your way to work, on holiday or do not want to spend the evening staring at the TV, all you need is a mobile phone, ideally headphones. The English word podcast comes from the combination of the words iPod and broadcast, there is no fixed equivalent for it in Czech yet. Since last year, podcasts have also been published by Novinky. |
In addition to sports, Petřikov appeared in the role of one of the dwarves in the fairy tale Long Live the Ghosts. “At that time, Mr. Sovák and Mr. Brodský told their stories there during the filming days, I remember that very much,” says Petřikov, who eventually appeared in the shot for two seconds.
“Even so, today all the children I train have to watch when they show it on TV,” laughs the judoka, who started training immediately after the end of his career. In addition to the youth, he also led the women’s representation.
“Coaching girls is different and I would say harder. It can sometimes be a problem in the team to direct them to one goal, “admits the coach, who celebrated medals with the women’s national team at the World and European Championships.
He spoke about why he doesn’t like footballers, about the hopes of Czech judo or the trouble that almost cost him his career during socialism.
