- An American Fan!
Much to my dismay, I am American. That said, I’ve spent a great deal of time in Europe—especially because my cousin married a Dutch man, so I visit them in Amsterdam not infrequently. I like to keep up with everything that’s going on across the pond, and this podcast does a great job. It’s funny and informative, and I especially appreciate all the book recommendations! I wish there were a podcast like this for every continent.

United States16 days ago - Not what it was
Used to be quite interesting and niche objective stuff. Increasingly just EU propaganda on behalf of the German empire.

I love this podcast so much. It’s the perfect balance between informative and entertaining. I started listening to The Europeans in 2022 when at work I started analyzing EU-focused data, and this really helped me learn a lot and contextualize my work. Thank you for producing this lovely podcast.
Apple Podcasts5LFSSLUnited States4 months ago - An excellent new podcast find!
I discovered this podcast fairly recently, and am enjoying how it provides an excellent balance between covering heavy and important topics, while also keeping things light and engaging. I have been listening through some of the back catalog and finding it thoroughly interesting.

Canada6 months ago - non-westerner could enjoy too
It’s a great show. I’ve been listening to it on and off for years now. I’m not European, not even westerner, so the news isn’t really politically/culturally close to me. However, I like how it reminds me that nothing should be taken for granted; from laws and regulations to ideas and values. When people live in one society for a long time, it’s easy to forget that elsewhere things can be different. I like how this show reminds me of all of these. Thank you!
