Hey, I'm Josh Spiegel, host of the podcast, Lunatic in the newsroom.

If you enjoy journalism that drifts into my old panic, wild overthinking,

and a guaranteed nervous breakdown, Lunatic in the newsroom is for you.

It's news like you've never heard before, the only newsroom with a panic button.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and gasp and horror as the show spirals completely out of control.

It's not just news, it's emotionally unstable.

Check in the newsroom, listen today.

Miloš, young and smart with a heartless idea,

is trying to find a place for his new fate.

But today, the park was filled with people.

The seats were filled with eight eyes,

which surprised the atmosphere of the world.

Miloš and Duboko managed to get rid of the darkness in the dark.

After a long long journey, he found out that he was alive.

Jovana, a new nerd, in a good way with a good story and Stefan,

in love with the story of Duboko, was talking about it.

He thought about his own passion.

Oh!

I'm sorry, I didn't want to talk to you, but Miloš is smart.

Jovana laughed at us.

It's not a joke.

It's a good story, some new story.

Stefan was in a very close relationship.

You know, a few days later, there was a hidden place

where a few people knew each other.

It's over for the silence and look.

The three of them came together to the stage where they lived in peace.

The darkness had already opened before them,

after the funeral of the city and the river.

That was what Miloš was doing.

It was a completely new place.

Inspirated, Miloš began to feel his love in the dark.

Jovana went to the piano atmosphere and got the idea

for her speech with the hidden secrets of Belgrade.

Stefan is a part of his passion for the story,

and he came back to the place.

The time was dark, but all of them felt some weight.

Miloš learned how much to share his courage

and listen to the story.

His ideas were changed with new perspectives and inspirations,

which gave him a special feeling of his joy.

When the sun began to rise,

three new friends went to the place

in the festival's sound.

In the heart of the village, there was a new star

created by Kalemegdanskundan.

Let's take another listen.

Listen closely to any parts you may have missed.

Kroz šare nilo vetra i šapat trave.

Kalemegdans parki zuja utoplini proleča.

Through the colorful wind and the whispering grass,

Kalemegdanskundan park buzzed with the warmth of spring.

Božuri i magnolia cvetali su punim sjajem.

Pienes and magnolias were blooming in full glory.

Children ran among the old monuments,

and sound waves of music floated from afar,

bringing a festive melody.

Miloš, mladijumetnik sa srcem punim ideja,

vteo je da nadje sa vršeno mesto za svoju novu sliku.

Miloš, a young artist with a heart full of ideas,

wanted to find the perfect spot for his new painting.

But today, the park was crowded with people.

Smiles and voices spread everywhere,

making it difficult to find peace.

Miloši du boku u dachnu,

i odlučio da krenje u dublje predele parka.

Miloš took a deep breath

and decided to head into the deeper parts of the park.

As he walked along narrow paths,

he encountered a lively discussion.

Jovana, noviner ka upotrazi za dobrom pričom,

i stefan, za ljubljeniku historiju,

du boku su rozgovarali.

Michova razmena mišlini o svojele pažnim.

There exchange of opinions captured attention.

Izvini, nisam hteo da prekinem,

rekoje Miloš stidlivo.

Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt, said Miloš Shaily.

Jovana se nasmišila.

Jovana smiled.

Ne brini.

Don't worry.

Uvike dobro sresti nekoga novog umnoštvu stvari.

It's always nice to meet someone new among the crowd of things.

Stefan pointed to the nearest path.

You know, a bit further ahead,

there's a hidden place that few people know about.

It's perfect for silence and view.

The three of them walked together down the path

that led them to tranquility.

The mysterious landscape unfolded before them

a beautiful panorama of the city and river.

It was what Miloš was searching for.

The perfect place lifted from the pages of dreams.

Inspirisan, Miloši bryzupočio da certa svojom olovku muski cero.

Inspired, Miloš quickly began sketching with his pencil in a sketchbook.

Jovana jupia latmosferu i dobila ideju za svoju pričo skrivenim dragulima Belgrade.

Jovana absorbed the atmosphere

and got an idea for her story about the hidden gems of Belgrade.

Stefan, sharing his passion for history,

recounted the story of the place.

Time passed, but they all felt a connection.

Miloš learned how beautiful it is to share his art

and listen to other stories.

His ideas were enriched with new perspectives and inspirations,

adding a special depth to his work.

As the sun slowly began to set,

the three new friends gradually left the spot to the sounds of the festival.

In their hearts, they carried memories and new connections forged in the spring day at Kalamegden.

Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.

And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives.

So each week on big technology, I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it.

Asking where this is all going, they come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon and plenty more.

So if you want to be smart with your wallet, your career choices,

and meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties, listen to big technology podcasts or ever you get your podcasts.

There are today's vocabulary words, first in Serbian, then in English.
