Low Country Lowdown is the podcast for internationals in the Netherlands who want to stay in the loop.Every Friday morning, we deliver a 20 minute explainer on the past week’s most important stories in Dutch news, politics, and society. We go beyond the breaking news by picking the major themes that will continue to shape the country. Whether it's the ever-worsening housing crisis, consequential political feuds or the slow-burn disaster in the prison system, we explain why each story matters now and how it may play out in the months and years to come. Every week, we're joined by an expat guest who shares their view and voices their most pressing questions.Production & Presentation: Daniel da Costa & Allart van der WoudeFollow us on Instagram! @lowdown.nlEmail us for inquiries and tips: info@lowdown.nlwww.lowdown.nl
