Café
Europa
podcast

In the biweekly podcast Café Europa Mathieu Segers and Annette van Soest discuss the backgrounds to European news. On intrigue, power and the chess game between European leaders. How does the EU really work? And what do we notice?

We make the podcast Café Europa together with our partner Haagsch College. Haagsch College is an initiative of Freek Ewals (former BNR Nieuwsradio) and Vincent Rietbergen (former NOS). They produce substantive productions such as theater tours with Rutger Bregman, Joris Luyendijk and Thomas Erdbrink. And in-depth live streams and podcasts about current events.
