Lowdown #9: Antisemitism Clash Between Politician and Singer & Why is Dutch Food so Bland?

On this week's Lowdown, we'll first talk about the costs incurred because of the long-standing stalemate concerning the nitrogen crisis. After that, we'll discuss the false allegations of antisemitism by the leader of the Liberal Conservatives, Dilan Yesilgöz, against a singer, Douwe Bob. Then, after running through a handful of other headlines, we get to the Holland Hotline, where our international guest gets to ask their most pressing question about Dutch society.

In this episode, Juliette's question is about why Dutch food is so bland.

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.
