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.Production & Presentation: Daniel da Costa & Allart van der WoudeFollow us on Instagram! @lowdown.nlEmail us for inquiries and tips: info@lowdown.nlwww.lowdown.nl

Geert Wilders in Trouble & Why Do the Dutch Swear with Diseases - Lowdown #4

This week, we're covering Geert Wilders' struggles to dominate the discourse, about which we spoke with political journalist Coen van de Ven, and a Russian hack on the Dutch police. Next, after quickly running through a handful of other headlines, we'll get to the Holland Hotline, where our international guests get to ask their most pressing question about Dutch society.

In this episode, Kristo's question is about the origin of the Dutch preference to use diseases as swear words.
