Jet Lag: Episode 1 – Bohemian National Hall

The New York Transatlantic is launching a new audio series, Jet Lag, a podcast that traces the footprint of Europe in New York.

In this episode, our host Tim O’Donnell introduces deputy editor Katerina Barton with a story about the Czechoslovak centennial anniversary celebrations on going at the Bohemian National Hall on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Czechs around the world celebrated Czechoslovakia’s centennial on Oct. 28—but why are they celebrating a non-existent country?

 

 

Produced and edited by Katerina Barton. Introduction recorded by Tim O’Donnell. Contributing help from Anna Pazos, Emilia Otte, Hannah Beckler, and Joseph Zeballos-Roig.
