Fun
Some of the things I do for fun.
Danes je nov dan
Today is a new day is a collective of activists focused on increasing political participation, transparency and public oversight - often with the help of digital technology. I’ve been hanging around since ~2016, occasionally volunteering to develop bits and pieces of various projects (from parliament tracking tools to battery chicken simulations).
There’s a lot to cover, so check out the website.
Radio Študent
I passed the audition to become an announcer at this infamous alternative station in 2010 and actively worked in that role for a few years. Some of my favorite contributions:
- Kuharski programi (Culinary programmes, 2011) - We did four of these together with my friend and colleague Andraž Magajna. The concept was to host a normal 4-hour live radio programme while cooking, each edition focused on a different culinary theme and included guests, cooking competitions and fake food-related news bits.
- Dlakava Dlan (Hairy Palm, 2010 - 2015, seriously NSFW 🍆) - This morning feature ran weekly for 5 seasons and covered different topics related to sexuality and pornography. It started as a joke, but grew immensely over the years. We somehow got a sex shop to sponsor us and did a bunch of fun things - from sex toy reviews and DVD giveaways to interviews and reports from local adult-themed events. Shoutout to Maco, Šuška, Tegla, Zala and Pia for their freaky contributions.
- Pritiskavec (Joypad, 2015 - current) - Another morning feature with a simple concept - every week we recommend an indie video game. Originally the brainchild of Rasto Pahor, I was on board by the third week and Domen Mohorič joined in the second season. The idea later (2017) spawned a more serious spinoff called Pritiskavec Gold - an hour-long monthly talk show where we cover various video game related topics. Both are still going strong.
If you speak Slovene, there are full recordings and podcast feeds of all of the above available on the provided links.
Oktet 9
A small men’s choir (well, an a capella group) we’ve had since high-school. Not much to say other than they’re some of my closest friends ❤️. We have an outdated website and a release on Bandcamp no one ever bought.
