“On this episode we talked to Magdalena Bartkowska about her new memoir and what it's like to work with editors, to get it published, and just the entire process that goes along with creating her book.

PolishFest NY
June 2020
For the 2020 Polish Fest in Latham, NY, I was asked to present something about the history of Poland. It didn’t take me long to decide on Paderewski! (Here’s why.)

Also, head on over to YouTube and enjoy this amazing musical video about the phenomenon which swept the globe over a hundred years ago: Paddymania! It is the best thing you will see today, I promise.
