Someone asked when the first KONCENTROHU episode would be available. In my reply, posted on 19 October in Kosovo, I said we did not yet have an exact date. Eduard was in Switzerland, and we wanted to begin after his return. The aim I shared was late October, or early November at the latest. That was a plan, not a confirmed release date.
Begin with the journey we had just made
For the first episode, we planned to speak among ourselves rather than invite a guest. I wanted to discuss our month travelling through Europe: the museum visit to see Skanderbeg’s sword, the Arbëresh communities in Italy and our time in Kruja.
Those experiences were the starting point for a larger conversation about Albanian history, language and what brings us closer. I also wanted to discuss how my work with dua.com connects to that purpose. These were subjects for the conversation, not claims that the podcast had already achieved its aims.
Why the name KONCENTROHU
In the recording, I explained the name through something you might say when someone has lost direction: concentrate, focus, come back to what matters. I wanted the podcast to help us move closer when political, religious or ideological divisions have pushed us apart.
Personal development and my spiritual journey also belonged in that plan. Later, we wanted to invite people who could contribute to these conversations. I did not announce a guest list or a fixed publishing schedule.
I had wanted to do this for years. With the team and the studio ready, I was excited to begin. This update records what I said we wanted to make; it is not an announcement that the first episode has been released.
