Polish media history and podcasting culture highlighted in new book and festival

Sławomir Malinowski has released a new book titled ‘Świat Młodych. Dzieje harcerskiej gazety nastolatków’, which chronicles the history of a scouting newspaper for teenagers. The work explores a period of media characterized by educational and inspirational content for youth, contrasting it with modern digital consumption.

In a related cultural trend, the BlastCast! festival is scheduled for October 9 and 10 at the Norblin Factory in Warsaw. The event, organized by Bartek Przybyszewski and Mateusz Witkowski of ‘Podcastexu’, serves as a major gathering for the Polish podcasting community. The festival aims to explore how nostalgia for past decades influences modern media and helps listeners understand contemporary technological and social shifts through audio storytelling.
