I know that we have a lot of more important problems in the world right now. This all pandemia, climate changes, political and economical crisis. And I feel terrible because in some radio they banned one song and some people working in this radio resigned.

But... It was not only a radio. Polish Radio Trójka was a kind of symbol, something being since always what should last forever. But time changes and step by step it was destroyed by limitation of speech freedom and other personnel decisions.

Since few months people who shaped my musical taste were gone one after another. I can't even name them all. But especially it hurt much when Mann resigned in solidarity with Gacek. Later on other joined: Waglewscy, Niedźwiecki, Stelmach, Metz, Kydryński... And today I've learned that Kaczkowski is leaving. My heart is broken.

You know this feeling when something what you've loved is not there anymore?

Even I didn't listen to this radio recently. Sometimes turned on for particular programs. But... I was raised with this station in times when there was no internet, youtube and spotify. It was often the only frequency I've set up in my radios. I recorded songs from this radio, because it was the only way to get them. I think I have those tapes somewhere...

And now? Yes, there is some hope in new initiative "Nowy Świat" - the amount of support given on patronite site is amazing - I hope it will last and this radio (internet version) will be able to recreate at least part of the atmosphere from Trójka.

But you know... it's like changing kid's old filthy but beloved teddy bear for the brand new one, even from the same brand. It'll never be the same...
