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

Magical Billions for Defense & How Does the Public Broadcaster Work? - Lowdown #7

On this week's Lowdown, we'll first talk about parliament agreeing to spend 19 billion euros more on defence, without actually having that money readily available. After that, we'll discuss the disappearance of crucial video footage in two court cases against violent Israeli hooligans in Amsterdam last November. Then, after running through a handful of other headlines, we get to the Holland Hotline, where our international guest gets to ask their most pressing question about Dutch society.

In this episode, Eleni's question is about how the Dutch public broadcasting service works.
