Bulgaria Today – 2 January 2026

Hello and welcome to Bulgaria Today, Radio Bulgaria’s podcast in English, on Friday 2 January.

Today’s festive edition is dedicated to The Day of St. Sylvester.

We’ll also share ideas for a holiday or a relaxing spa break in Bulgaria.

Next, Rayna Mandzhukova, chair of the Agency for Bulgarians Abroad, talks about the agency’s plans for 2026.

And in our Friday Music Special, we revisit the classic “San Sanuvah” (I Dreamed a Dream), a Golden Orpheus-winning song from the 1960s.

I’m Elizabeth Radkova, together with Kostadin Atanasov. Enjoy the show!
