"A podcast is most often an audio recording of the spoken word that delivers interesting information to listeners, and is typically longer in time format, e.g. 30 to 60 minutes."

In the eleventh podcast of THE CZECH TAEKWON‑DO, we bring you a truly rare guest, premiering on Wednesday, September 15, 2021 at 2:00 pm.

On the last day of the holiday season we went to the Austrian capital, Vienna, to interview the current ITF President, Professor Ri Yong Son, directly at the ITF headquarters.

In a really interesting personal interview, you will not only find out information from the private life of the ITF President, but also whether he also practices Taekwon‑Do or who has inspired him. You will learn what path led to the position of president of the worldwide organization, or whether there is a further convergence with the Olympic version of Taekwondo (WT).

.

Now, our podcast team is hard at work preparing for this year's ITF European Taekwondo Championships in Crete, Greece, where they will be looking to record a few more podcast interviews with world taekwondo personalities.

This interview, which is all in English this time, can be found on the CZECH TAEKWON‑DO PODCAST podcast channel on the Spotify, Apple podcasts and Google podcasts platforms.

At the same time, you will also be able to watch the video interview already on the YouTube channel of the Czech Taekwon‑Do ITF. The interview will also be in English here as well.
