Wojciech Cejrowski graduated from the XVII High School by the name of Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski in Warsaw. In 2010 he received a BA in Sociology from Catholic University of Lublin.

Organizations

Wojciech Cejrowski is a member of the following organizations:

  • Royal Geographical Society
  • CMA - Country Music Association (USA)
  • ACMA - Country Music Association of Australia
  • South American Explorers Club
  • Right-wing views

    In terms of his socio-political views, Cejrowski is Poland's most known journalist to openly advocate against the LGBT right movement. In his rhetoric, Cejrowski refers to LGBT people as sodomites, buggers, and pederasts. In his article for "Dziennik" he notes that he "prefers savages rather than gay parades". Cejrowski states that European society is overwhelmingly against homosexuality, and advocates for the institution of nationwide homosexuality clinics aiming to 'alter this disgusting behaviour'. He says that "gay people should be pointed at, as the sin of sodomy evokes disgust".

    Cejrowski is also strongly against abortion and abortion providers. In one of the interviews he said "I wish abortion clinics could burn down and abortion providers get shot".

    Television

    WC Kwadrans (WC Fifteen Minutes) broadcast by the Polish state TV station TVP (1994–1996) is his most widely known TV programme. The show was watched by three million viewers.

    Cejrowski started his TV career by cooperating with Wojciech Mann in his Non Stop Kolor show (Non-stop Color) broadcast on Polish TV (1992–1994). He also was the host of the Stajnia show (The Stable) broadcast by the Polish TV and some local TV stations. Between 1996 and 1997 Cejrowski recorded a series of 30 episodes reporting on his journey to South America for TV Niepokalanów (now called TV Puls).

    While at RTL 7 since 1997, Cejrowski, along with Jan Pietrzak, Jan Tadeusz Stanisławski, Krzysztof Daukszewicz and others, participated in a satirist talk show focused on various aspects of daily life in Poland. Between 1999 and 2000 Cejrowski co-hosted with Alicja Resich-Modlińska a talk show Piękny i Bestia (Beauty and the Beast).

    While at Polsat (2003-4) Cejrowski hosted his own show Z kamerą wśród ludzi (With Camera Amongst the People also broadcast by TV 4 and Polsat 2). His highest level of pulicity reached 2.5 million people - no. 4 record in Poland.

    In 2008 Cejrowski started his popular Barefoot Around the World travel show(Boso przez świat), awarded the 2008 Travel & Tourism New York Festivals Gold World Medal.

    In April 2008 Cejrowski announced his intention to abandon his Polish citizenship and acquire the Ecuadorian one instead.

    Radio

    Wojciech Cejrowski started his radio career in 1991 - along with Korneliusz Pacuda he conducted the program Czy jest miejsce na country w Polsce? (Is There a Place for Country Music in Poland?). One of its results was a contract with American ABC Network - since 1992 all Polish local broadcasting stations had started to broadcast Polish version of American Country Countdown. Wojciech Cejrowski (at the beginning along with Korneliusz Pacuda) was hosting this broadcast for eleven years. The very last one (No. 519) was broadcast in January 2003. In 1993 Wojciech Cejrowski was offered the job by Wojciech Mann and Krzysztof Materna, owners of the private radio station Radio Kolor (Radio Color). First he hosted his own music programme then also famous Aeroplan (Airplane) together with Beata Pawlikowska and then his leading morning programme (every Saturday from 6 to 10 am - which later gave the beginning to WC Kwadrans). His cooperation with Radio Kolor ended in 1997 (soon after Mann and Materna left the radio station and some changes for worse were made). He worked for Radio WAW-a for next 3 years (1997–1999). These days Wojciech Cejrowski's radio broadcasts can be found in various public and private broadcasting stations in Poland. The best known is his traveler cycle Po drugiej stronie globusa (On the Other Side of the Globe) - it's more than 300 episodes that were broadcast by Radio Station 1, Radio dla Ciebie, Radio Koszalin, Radio Merkury, Radio PiK and Radio Network PLUS. He also works for Polish Radio Station 1. He sends his correspondences from foreign countries for Z pierwszej ręki (First Hand) and Radio Kierowców (The Driver's Radio) and his traveler's stories for Lato z Radiem (Summer with Radio). During 2005 winter season Wojciech Cejrowski hosted the Zima z radiową Jedynką (Winter with Radio Station One). In the meantime since 2003 he has been creating music broadcasts on the demand of Music Editorial Office - Muzyka na Molo (Music on the Pier) and Audycja podzwrotnikowa (Subtropical Broadcast).

    Wojciech Cejrowski writes and publishes quite a lot on social and political situations (he got his columns in "Gazeta Polska", "Tygodnik AWS", "Ilustrowany Kurier Polski") and on his many travels (humorous reports in "Newsweek", "Rzeczpospolita", "Poznaj Świat"and others).
