The Hungarian Heritage Podcast
This is the Hungarian Heritage Podcast. Here, we are dedicated to leaning in and listening to Hungarians and non-Hungarians who have a deep understanding of Hungarian history, culture, traditions, food, travel, and everyday life experiences in Hungary or from just being Hungarian. Our approach will broaden and expand your connection to your Hungarian Heritage in a fun, modern, inclusive, and welcoming format. So if you were ever curious to know more about your Hungarian Heritage, or you're not even Hungarian and you want to learn more about this culture, then this is the place to be. Follow along as we interview, discover and share, and I am confident that no matter how Hungarian you are, or are not, you will enjoy this journey!
