Postcards from Bosnia is an audio journey into the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina, seen through the eyes of an Englishman who has made this place his home.

Thanks so much in advance.
I’ve been watching retirement and over-70s content on YouTube recently, and something began to quietly trouble me.
Many of the most popular videos aren’t made by people at all.
They’re created by AI.
And yet older viewers are watching, commenting, and sharing deeply personal stories, often speaking into what is, in reality, a silence.
This isn’t a programme about technology.
It’s a reflection on aging, loneliness, and what it means to be heard in later life.
From my garden in northern Bosnia and Herzegovina, I talk about why calm AI voices feel familiar, why they feel safe, and why so many older people are reaching out, not because they’re gullible, but because they’re human.
Because we still want to be seen.
And we still want to matter.
Thank You
Thank you for listening to these little slices of my life. If you’d like to get more stories, you can subscribe to my Substack, it’s free, and if you ever want to upgrade to paid but can’t afford it, just email me. I’ll sort it out, no questions asked.
Here are 3 questions I have.
What would make you hit “play” on an audio post instead of just reading?
What makes a podcast episode feel personal or meaningful to you?
Would you like me to add audio versions of my blog posts so you can choose how to enjoy them?
I’ll give a complimentary subscription to Coffee and Rakija for life for taking the time to answer.
