In this episode, I sit down with Mile Mićić to talk about his incredible project, Bosana—a fantasy world deeply inspired by Bosnia. We dive into his creative journey, where he shares the inspirations behind Bosana, his connection to Bosnian cultural heritage, and the challenges he’s faced in bringing this world to life. Mile also opens up about the importance of financial support through platforms like Patreon and how it helps him continue his work.

During our conversation, we explore Mile’s unique story as a native of Bosnia and Herzegovina now living in Andalusia, Spain. He reflects on his deep connection to his roots, the move to Spain for love, and the fascinating cultural parallels and contrasts between Bosnia and Andalusia, especially when it comes to food and hospitality.

Mile takes us into the heart of Bosana, explaining how it reflects the complexities, culture, and conflicts of Bosnia while creating a space for storytelling that resonates with audiences worldwide. He shares his hopes of inspiring creativity and resilience through this project and invites listeners to join the Bosana community. It’s a heartfelt conversation about storytelling, cultural preservation, and the passion it takes to build something truly meaningful.
