While comedian Kitodar Todorov and the host - Dr. Rada Stamenkova, keep it light and funny, other 10 people get on the stage of Forum Klyuch to tell us about their awesome projects that will turn the world (or at least our society) around for the better.
One Way Ticket to Mars

8 March 2018

We've all collectively screw things up on Earth and only together we can make things right, but with the speed that we understand concepts like recycling and sustainable resources, it might get too late too soon. That is why a few advanced minds are already working ot Plan B and are in a search of another planet for humanity.

In February we encounter cauliflower mostly pickled in jars but we can still catch it in the fresh fruit&veggies stores. Why do we need to? The curly cousin of cabbage is an anti-cancer agent that holds 77% of our daily vitamin C dose, a whole bunch of B complex, doesn't hold too many calories but has a lot of fiber and antioxidants that take good care of the human brains and hearts.

Unpleasant atmosphere

18 January 2018
text Emanuela Ivanova

We met 2018 under a quilt of gray atmosphere and leaped against the measures that were (not) taken against fine particle contamination. However, our attacks do not reach those whose eyes should be opened to the fact that it is not normal to know the taste and color of the air. Not because we prefer pizza and pink, but because that gray is poisoning us. How exactly, what can we do to stop it and where to watch if we shoul go to the park or not, we explain down.

We'll play some music and we will finally bake something sexy for the holidays. We've been trying to get to this for years and still can't, so now we meet someone better than us - Lyubka Atanasova from LUbakery, who prepares amazineg cakes and cookies that look ready for exhibition and taste awesome, too.

I lived in London for almost two years without an umbrella. Due to the constant wind in this city, it's simply impossible for an umbrella to protect you from the rain - it turns into a useless piece of fabric on a long stick and you end up taking care of it instead of the other way around.
Tracking the Master and Margarita

7 December 2017
text Nikola Shahpazov

He is the Master and she is his Margarita. But insted of spilling vodka and talking about Pontius Pilate, today we join them for a conversation on Bulgarian cuisine, a beer and a saucepan of "shkembe chorba".
The New Rakia Road

30 November 2017

For sure you know at least one lord of the kettle, who is like "come to try my rakia - it's the best!". If you ask Svetlin Mirchev, this coin has two sides: yes, it is good to pass on the craft, but the rakia is a far more complex drink to stay next to the shopska salad. With this idea, he returned from Vienna (where he studied at the Austrian Wine Academy) and over a year he traveled around the Balkans to meet small producers in search of their best distillates. Today his visits fill the shelves of Rakiashop.eu (which he holds with his wife Gergana), but before we try some of their bottles at the Balkan Rakia Festival, we sit on a table and talk - what is "real rakia" and what to put next to it rather than just cut a tomato.
Boredome or dare?
