Region, Religion and Politics Presented on Radio by Professor Marija Manja Kovačević, Ph.D.

Doctor Mandica Manja Kovačević (1929–2011) was a professor at several Croatian tacher training colleges (Čakovec, Kutina and Gospić) and the author of three books and some 60 papers in various journals. She moderated a weekly ten-minute programme for the local radio station in Gospić in the first decade of the 21st century. Thus, more than 300 radio contributions were produced, of which seventy were published in the book “Life on the Highest Wave” (Gospić, 2010). By researching and presenting phonographic recordings not included in the aforementioned book, this paper will focus on the topics dealing with the affairs from the Croatian society in the first decade of the 21 century serving as an original sample by means of which Professor Kovačević presented her personal views and attitudes resulting from life experience and local and traditional expectations. Professor Kovečević’s original reviews have attracted the attention of a large number of listeners because they have been able to find answers to questions that are usually contemplated by a contemporary man torn apart between existential challenges and spiritual search.
