February 20, 2019 Here in Holland Marathon Story
This time a story I made when I was working at Radio Netherlands in 1998 - it's a documentary I made about running the Rotterdam Marathon. The music is a bit over the top - but what the hell. I thought I would share here as more than 20 years on I have dusted off my running shoes.

December 17, 2018 Here in Holland The Monkey Comes Out Of The Sleeve
I’ve decided it’s time for a campaign to get the best Dutch proverbs and expressions translated literally into English and accepted in every day use.
There are so many brilliant Dutch expressions and it is a crying shame they are not given the spotlight on the world stage they so richly deserve.
Nu komt de aap uit de mouw - now the monkey comes out of the sleeve is my favourite but there are loads more and a selection are featured in this podcast.

Leading the way through the forest of weird Dutch sayings is comedian and writer Paulien Cornelisse
I caught up with at her home in Amsterdam during a break in her latest one-woman theatre tour.

October 02, 2018 Here in Holland - Distrust of Dutch Doctors
This time, why don’t internationals here in the Netherlands trust Dutch healthcare?
Surveys show only 30% of internationals trust Dutch doctors.
It’s a staggering figure…and this lack of trust can lead to some random decision making with people going go abroad for healthcare and even quitting the Netherlands altogether.
And all this while the Dutch have one of the most advanced medical systems in the world.
So what’s going on?
In the podcast this time a conversation with Dirk Jan Frijling from Healthcare for Internationals a non-profit network of healthcare providers that aims to have Dutch healthcare better meet the needs and expectations of internationals. You can find
a detailed explanation of Dutch healthcare and health insurance at the website.
