Andriy Izdryk

"The search of beauty cannot be stopped, even if the object is unattainable. Only the aesthetic is a reliable method of verification of all things. Therefore, in any case, beware of people with bad musical taste."

Andriy's philosophical education has given him the keen insight needed to understand the difference between a diploma and working in the office. The world of Mr. Izdryk is one coloured by the perspectives of both the earthly-bound Positivist and heavenly-bound Pythagorean.

Andriy is one of the pioneers of Ukrainian podcasting as was first initiated in 2008. He published the literary podcast "litpodcast.com", which was commissioned by TO "Dziga" in 2011-2013, and Podcast "Akademraznitsa", Center for Humanities Research.
