## Resource

Welcome to Bulgaria Today, the English-language podcast of Radio Bulgaria, on August 31 hosted by Kostadin Atanasov. We start with a summary of the leading news stories from Bulgaria and the weather forecast for tomorrow. Next on the show: Kotel’s unique carpets. Can a carpet serve as a “passport” to world cultural heritage, and why can’t the skilled hands of the local master weavers be replaced by artificial intelligence? The answers lie in Kotel’s unique carpet-weaving tradition. Finally, in our music slot, we bring you the piece “Sevdana” to the rendition of the Bulgarian National Radio Big Band. You can listen to the full version of our podcast on our website at https://bnrnews.bg/en/list/podcast-in-english
