János Dunai

Do Eastern Europeans really hate each other? Which nations are most alike? And is it fair for someone to call us Balkan? János Dunai is the creator behind the "Living Ironically in Europe" channel, which boasts 400k subscribers and over 57 million views. The channel brings to life stories about Balkan history, culture, and politics to the English-speaking world, destigmatizing this region of the world that has often carried a negative perception in the West. At Brain Bar, he’ll talk about the Central-Eastern European character, and which of our traits might be best approached with a sense of humor.
