Welcome to Bulgaria Today, the English-language podcast of Radio Bulgaria, on September 23.

In today’s show – join us to learn more about the Kozareva Mound, one of the most valuable archaeological sites discovered in Bulgaria in 2014. More and more valuable evidence of a highly developed civilization on our lands dating back to the 5th millennium BC comes to light each year. We talk for details with Nadezhda Stoikova, archaeologist from the historical museum in the town of Pomorie near the mound.

Another less popular topic we bring you today – which was the first Bulgarian textbook written in colloquial language with secular content – a topic that takes us back to the year 1824 when the so-called Fish Primer of Petar Beron was published.

Stay with us to learn more and, of course, to listen to good Bulgarian music of which we will have a lot on the show today!

Have an enjoyable listen!
