At Balkan Bakery, we believe in the power of community and the joy that comes from sharing stories—much like the delightful flavors in our baked goods! Today, we’re excited to introduce you to a special guest who embodies this spirit: Božo Durman, the host of the Bodupodcast.
Launched in 2022, the Bodupodcast aims to spread positivity and unite people through meaningful conversations. Božo, who has called the Chicagoland area home since 1998, has met many incredible individuals from the Balkans—bright, talented, and full of inspiring stories.
Recognizing that the Balkan community in the U.S. lacked a dedicated platform for these narratives, he created the Bodupodcast as a space for connection and understanding.
What makes the Bodupodcast unique is its openness to everyone. While it highlights the rich culture of the Balkan community, it invites people from all backgrounds to join the conversation. Božo hosts the podcast in English, ensuring that these stories resonate far beyond just one community, fostering mutual appreciation and unity.
With 25 episodes under his belt and many more on the way, Božo has had the pleasure of welcoming a diverse lineup of guests, including DJ Spaz, actor Stefan Jevtovic, immigration attorney Xavier Borjas, and many others who share their journeys and insights. Each episode feels like a warm chat between friends—just like the welcoming atmosphere we strive for in our bakery!
Though Božo doesn’t come from a media background, his passion for storytelling shines through in every episode, making the Bodupodcast a delightful experience for listeners.
We encourage you to check out the Bodupodcast! You can find it on:
YouTube (for both video and audio)
Spotify (audio only)
Instagram and Facebook (for updates and community engagement)
And if you’d like to connect with Božo directly, follow him on X (formerly Twitter) at @BozoDurman.
Are you interested in sharing your own story? Božo is always looking for new guests! You can reach out to him at bodupodcast@gmail.com.
At Balkan Bakery, we celebrate the flavors of our culture and the stories that bring us together.
We hope you enjoy the Bodupodcast as much as we do—after all, every great conversation pairs well with a delicious treat!
