Welcome to the Eric Mantaxe Show.

Due to budget issues, Eric's been replaced by a cranky secondhand robot named Dr. Nuts and Bults.

He assumed you won't mind, but if sparks shoot out your radio, you'll know why.

So, stand back and now here's Eric 2.0.

Hey, thanks Todd.

I appreciate it.

Folks, you know this is the program about everything.

The Eric Mantaxe Show purports to be the program about everything.

And I realized that, you know, in the scheme of things, I haven't had a whole lot of Polish people on the program.

And since Polish people and Poland fall under the rubric of everything, I needed to remedy that.

So I looked around and lo and behold, I found a guy who is Polish.

His name is Dr. Anjay Turkhanik.

He is, in fact, a native of Poland.

He was born and raised during the communist era in Poland.

He has degrees in music and art in Poland, as well as theology degree from Germany.

And then he got a PhD in Oriental Studies from Cambridge University.

Needless to say, I'm impressed.

He heads up something called the Quo Vadas Institute.

They say that they're dedicated to helping ask the questions as to what true human flourishing means in the changing societal landscape in Europe and the Western world.

And they also ask how cultural renewal can be stimulated.

Sounds like a man after my own heart.

Dr. Anjay Turkhanik, welcome to the Eric Mantaxe Show.
