Gumi on Placák Podcast: “When looking for talent, I’m not searching for perfection — I’m searching for authenticity.”

Authenticity as the Key to Music and Community. Why is passion more important than performance within a team, and how do you build an independent media platform that isn’t afraid to go against the current?

The guest on the Placák podcast was our dramaturg Gumi, who is also the founder of the independent music platform Klubovna.net.

In the interview, he looks back at the beginnings of Klubovna, which started organically fourteen years ago, and talks about how he approaches building his team and why he avoids corporate structures. You’ll also hear why dramaturgical courage means “not being afraid to take risks” and embracing an “element of error,” and how to understand civil society through independent communities and grassroots initiatives.
