In the latest audio story of Radio Si Exclusive we meet one of the volunteers at TOM, a free helpline for children and adolescents in Slovenia. It operates on the number 116 111. The voices on the other side are there every day of the year, even on Sundays and holidays. They are there to listen, support and guide young people in their most difficult moments. What makes a person spend their free time listening to the worries, fears, and secrets of young people? We’re sharing the powerful audio story of a young TOM volunteer — part of the free helpline for children and adolescents in Slovenia — who sits on the other end of the line when no one else is there.

January is often the time when we sit down and consider holidays for the year ahead. Many Slovenes will wish to travel outside their land, and some will want entertainment too. Cruises can offer both of these things without much hassle and a knowledge of exactly what it will all cost. Matjaž Tomanič has experience in this and Požejdon is his company that has many suggestions on how to enjoy a break throughout the year. Still in the Christmas music mood this show features both Slovene and international artist’s seasonal offerings.
Electric cars are becoming commonplace on our roads today and many people use them for the daily commute as well as weekend journeys. Not everyone may have considered a long-distance driving holiday though.

That raised many questions in my mind, so I asked him how he planned such a journey and what he discovered.
