The Dead Cats and Fallen Emperors Special Edition - Week 8 - 2023
DutchNews Podcast - A podcast by DutchNews - Fridays
Unfortunately there is no regular episode this week because in a freakish coincidence the entire DutchNews podcast team is away and we promise this has nothing to do with the ten Russian spies who were expelled from the Netherlands on Tuesday. As a compensation, we release last summer's special episode for Patreon supporters in which we don't discuss the news, but rather a number of fascinating stories from Dutch history and several of them are remarkably related to current affairs. So if you want to know what a high-ranking German refugee, a giant Russian with a taste for torture, a hungry mob who literally grilled their prime minister and an art forger who conned the Nazis have in common? Spoiler: they all feature in our special summer podcast for DutchNews patrons, now available for everyone. But if you do want to support the DutchNews podcast, go to www.patreon.com/DutchNewsNL and make sure we will return next week with a regular episode!
