We zijn bij R’damse Nieuwe begonnen met een nieuwe podcast reeks waarin we het gesprek aan gaan met creatievelingen uit Rotterdam. Deze eerste aflevering wordt gehost door Epifania Queta. In deze aflevering kletst Epifania met Joni Kling, een multi-disciplinair kunstenaar uit Rotterdam met een basis in illustratie. Haar werk omvat grote muurschilderingen; kleine handgetekende illustraties; ontwerpen voor mode; en performance- en tattoo-kunst. Een laagdrempelige podcast om geïnspireerd te raken door de wijze woorden van Joni. Luister nu de podcast terug via onze Spotify.

Tijd om onze nieuwe aanwinsten te introduceren.

Deze twee dames gaan onze marketing en communicatie afdeling overnemen en R’damse Nieuwe tot een nieuw hoogtepunt brengen.

@epifaniababes is de jongste in ons team en is een zelfstandig ondernemer met een achtergrond in mode, management en marketing. Ze werkt op dit moment als communicatie medewerker voor een ecologisch museum in Delft en heeft daarnaast een grote liefde voor vintage. Epifania wilt graag gebruik maken van de diversiteit in Rotterdam en daarmee het bereik vergroten.

@evasharo heeft de afgelopen jaren als copywriter en marketing & communicatie specialist gewerkt. Op dit moment werkt zij bij Het Industriegebouw als Director of Operations, geeft daarnaast nog op strategisch niveau advies aan horecazaken en heeft een hele knappe teckel. Waar ze het meeste naar uitkijkt als nieuwe connector? Alle kennis van mijn mede-connectoren tot me nemen en onze impact in Rotterdam vergroten.

Official Eurovision Village Podcast Episode 8! 🎙🙌

Naomi Brandwijk and her team at Veenman+ had the honors of making a very special Eurovision collectors item, namely an official Eurovision cookbook: The Taste of Rotterdam. With this book they not only show you the perfect dish from every Eurovision country, but also tell the best culinary stories that Rotterdam has to offer.

Across the table from her is Anne Bloemendaal of Flowerdales Agency. With her company she helps up and coming photographers on their way in their careers and, especially for Eurovision, she has set up a fantastic open-air exhibition with beautiful, local photography throughout the city.

Official Eurovision Village Podcast Episode 7! 🎙🙌

Music is all about emotion and is the perfect way to open up to each other. And today's guests know all about it. Melissa 't Hart has been teaching singing for decades and has set up a wonderful music project at a primary school in the south of Rotterdam. Opposite of her is Peter Verheij. This year he has the honor of accompanying the Norway delegation. Although Tix, the Norwegian star and entry from Norway, has obviously already made it to the top, we find out that primary school students and pop stars have more in common than you might think.

This podcast is most probably the tastiest one of the bunch. Robert Wittenberg, brand manager at Dudok brought a Dudok Sing Along cake for us to taste. For all the Dutchies out there, you know what their apple pie is like right!?

Eurovision officially has a flavour after today and we are happy to share our thoughts in this cake. Together with Annemieke van Wegen Delhaas, head of R’dams citydressing team, we discuss how this year's slogan; ‘Open Up’ launched itself into the world and just how infectious the excitement can be.

Ladies night has arrived with the following guests in our fourth podcast. The next two local powerhouses know what it takes to be in control of major city events. Alice van Vlaanderen, project director host city Rotterdam joins us together with Jolanda Jansen, Director of Ahoy Arena. We talk to them about what Eurovision means to the city of Rotterdam and how this 2021 edition is the most special one so far! Not having the biggest audience and amount of visitors coming to the city, is a challenge for all of us. How have these ladies prepared the city and Ahoy? You’ll find out here!

In the third episode of the podcast we zoom in on some awesome projects that literally happened and will happen around Eurovision. We go in depth with Tymon de Laat, a street artist who is, at least for Eurovision fans, more famous for Jeangu’s face than for his own. He is responsible for the beautiful portrait of Jeangu on the facade of Ahoy Rotterdam! We talk to him about his sources of inspiration and his artistic process.

We also speak with Wesley van den Bos, the brain behind Around010. They provide tours for, among others, the delegations in which they reveal a Rotterdam you won’t see everyday. Wesley and his team are also responsible for the awesome ‘countdown videos’ that can be seen all over the internet and of course at eurovisionvillage.com.

After the successful start of the series yesterday, the second podcast is just as interesting and worthy of listening to. The next two guests will be familiar ones for those who have stayed up to date. Executive producer of Eurovision 2021 Sietse Bakker joined us in Het Nieuwe Instituut, to talk about how he experienced preparing for this event in the past two years. The second guest's work might be more famous now than she is, Madje Vollaers of VollaersZwart joins the conversation. She talks about how she came up with the term ‘citydressing’ and what it does to Rotterdam and its citizens.

#podcast #eurovision2021 #eurovision #makeithappen #rotterdammakeithappen

Proudly taking you on a journey into the world of Eurovision in Rotterdam. What effect does this event have on this amazing city, and how are all its citizens coping with the fact that the event in itself is the most unique one yet.

We’ve set up a special podcast series with 16 inspiring guests who are actively trying to make this year’s event the best one yet. We’ve lined up 8 podcasts which will be released daily from May 15th onwards. You will get to hear about all the ins and outs of the buildup towards this major event, the city programming, citydressing and all fun things Eurovision!

Podcast 1

The first episode of the Eurovillage podcast series features Eurovisions most well known blogger William Lee Adams. His Youtube page WIWIbloggs has just hit 100k subscribers after setting foot in Rotterdam. If someone can tell us a thing or two about all the madness that comes with Eurovision, it’s William! Alongside him we’ve invited a local events superstar who is now the director of R’dam Festivals. With her experience in creating a positive city hospitality, these two will get along just fine. Enjoy watching or listening to our first episode, and stay tuned for what we have in store for you next!
