Description
Rádio Povídka is a Czech spoken-word station built on a simple and rather lovely idea: the best short stories and novels, read aloud, running around the clock for nothing. It comes from Radia.cz in Prague, the portal that grew out of ABradio, and it is aimed squarely at people who want a book but cannot face one more page on a screen. The running order moves between adventure, history, detective work and comedy, so you might catch Jules Verne in one hour and Agatha Christie in the next. Karel Čapek, Ota Pavel, Arthur Conan Doyle and Alexandre Dumas all come round in rotation, and the station publishes its schedule so you can wait for a favourite rather than take pot luck. There is no music and no chatter, just a voice and a story, which makes it unusually good company on a commute or a long evening.

Contact route
none found. Looked at the station page and its Info tab, the Playlist and Program tabs, the site Kontakt page and the FAQ, and probed for an own domain. No station email, no form, no telephone, no request or dedication feature, and the Info tab's Facebook field gives the portal's own account rather than the station's. The only route on the whole site is the portal company's single corporate email at its registered office, and the portal's own FAQ answer states it is above all a signpost of radios and tells senders to write to the individual stations instead of to it.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| title |
Rádio Povídka
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
The stored title is a fragment of the stream mount name (ice3.abradio.cz/povidka128.mp3). The operator's own channel page names the station 'Rádio Povídka' in its heading, its About section ('O rádiu') and its page title. |

what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
Fetched and loads with real station content: heading 'Rádio Povídka', the strapline 'Dobrodružné, historické, detektivní či komediální příběhy', an About section, a live playlist and a schedule tab. This is the operator's own page, not a directory entry: the station's stream is hosted on ice3.abradio.cz, abradio.cz now 301-redirects to radia.cz, and the Radia.cz contact page states the portal is run by RadiaCZ s.r.o. of Prague and that it began as Internetradio.cz in 2000 and grew 'už jako ABradio' before renaming to Radia.cz. |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| The portal company's corporate email address and its Prague registered-office address | Not the station's route, the portal disclaims routing content to stations, and never copying actual emails or addresses into this file.
source |
| A probe of radiopovidka.cz timed out and radio-povidka.cz does not resolve | No own station site could be confirmed, so no CONTACT_URL on a station domain exists and the line is omitted.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
