Summary

This weekend edition of Czechia in 30 Minutes brings you a shortened version of another episode from Blood in Bohemia, our special series within the Czechast podcast. Together with British journalist Rob Cameron, Vít Pohanka explores the dramatic events of July 1419, when an angry crowd stormed Prague's New Town Hall and hurled councillors from its windows. The first Prague defenestration marked a turning point in Czech history and helped set the stage for the Hussite Revolution.
