THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Backpackers have been exploited in Oz for a long time. That is the outcome of investigative journalism by the ABC. Low wages, having your passport taken, and even sexual misconduct. The ABC article is here - I did some digging in the radio archive at SBS Dutch and found some earlier examples. We hear from a Mr. Lubach about the connection between Corona and 5G and Jochem tells us about his zonnebank experience. Music-wise we are getting "daydrunk", 

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Tja je krijgt wat K-Pop voor je kiezen vandaag. Mijn collegae hadden niet door dat er niemand in de andere studio zat (want vantevoren opgenomen) dus die vergaten even om te schakelen naar de auto-feed en zaten nog even lekker van hullie muziek te genieten. Nou ja, dat heb je wel eens. Je valt derhalve halverwege bij Urbanus binnen. Mag de pret niet drukken toch? In de Luister tip luisteren we naar BBQ en wijn geluiden van "Wat Schaft de Podcast", cabaret van Micha Wertheim en Australische muziek van Guy Sebastian. lekker vol  met de gebruikelijke herrie dus!

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Jopie Witzand, host and executive producer for SBS Dutch interviews yours truly. Previously aired on SBS2 and on 4EB.

Even though you may think this is a joke, considering this was originally publish on April 1, 2007, when your assailant is coming at you swinging, wielding a barbecue fork, your best defense is to keep it food related and in the kitchen. What does every cop pretty much all over the world carry around all day? Pepper spray! You season your steaks and make people cry all from one simple can!  Your favorite friendly mid-western police officers have the deetz!

THIS ONE IS IN  DUTCH - But, I will tell you what you are missing if you don't speak the language :-) I am once again talking to Jordy and Daniel who bought a boat just to escape the COVID19 crisis. If you can't fly back home ... SAIL! Well, one of these days they will make it to Holland, however for the time being, they are still sailing around in Australia. I caught up with them on the phone. In our medical segment, GP Michiel Mel tells us everything about  red ears and I am interviewed by Jopie Witzand from SBS. The tables are turned as they say... Music from Australia today, listen for the Hilltop Hoods (and a Dutch version of Tones and I).

Most people do not know that before 9/11 (way way way back in 1945) a plane crashed in NYC. Right into the Empire State Building!. I have the audio of that in this episode of the Kastpod (number 5) which originally publish on June 27 2005. There is some other useless stuff (a 3 year old riding go-kart over the foot of his 9-month old cousing) and some reasonably decent music. THIS IS HISTORICAL GOODNESS!

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Hoe ervaren de in Queensland wonende Nederlanders  de Corona crisis en beperkingen? Ik ben het even gaan vragen aan de mensen die ik op Facebook tegenkom. Het blijkt wel mee te vallen! Nederlanders zijn redelijk nuchter en redelijk opti... Had je eigenlijk iets anders verwacht? We maken ons best zorgen om de economie, maar we moeten ook eigenlijk wel lachen om dat WC papier gedoe!

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Corona is eng. Een loopneus, of een keelpijntje niet. Maar een keelpijntje tijdens de pandemie... dat weer wel. Met wat griep-achtige klachten laat Jeroen zich op aanraden van 4EB's eigen huisarts Michiel, toch maar testen. Het loopt uiteindelijk op niks uit. Maar da's toch best raar zo'n Covid-kliniek. Daar moet over gepraat worden dus. Verder belt Jeroen rond in QLD om uit te vinden hoe Nederlanders in den Australische vreemde de pandemie ervaren. In de live uitzending ging wat mis... Nou ja dat gebeurt zomaar wel eens... 

THIS ONE IS IN DUTCH - Listen here for the replay of another hour of Dutch radio from Brisbane, Australia! In this episode we discover there is a Dutch connection to the Tarantino movie Reservoir Dogs, criminals don't like Corona and in Amsterdam brand new underground waste collection containers simply don't get emptied...How crazy is that?

Beer and cars is never a good combo. It gets even worse when it snows! Really, don't do it. But if you were in Tulsa some time around 21 March 2007 (the original publication date for this podcast) you could easily have gotten yourself chased by officer Jay. It turns into a foot pursuit, the driver running into the front and out the back of an apartment building and a confession of the passenger in this ice cold adventure that earlier they crashed the car into a wall. Grandma's car no less, who now has no way of getting to work!
