We start this week's podcast with some breaking news from the US Congress, where it seems Dominic,

but we've been given a little shout out by none other than Mark Zuckerberg. Let's play the tape.

I think if it's the right regulation, then yes. Do you think the Europeans have it right?

I think that they get things right. Have you ever submitted? That's true.

So thank you to Chuck Schumer for asking that very important question in the two days of interviewing.

I mean, we were really flattered.

We didn't know Chuck and Mark were fans.

I kind of feel like publicity from Mark Zuckerberg is like the worst publicity that you could have right now.

But they do say that all publicity is good publicity.

So thanks a lot, Mark.

Much appreciated.

We should probably clarify that he wasn't actually talking about this show when he said that the Europeans get things right.

He was talking about European regulation of the internet, but we mustn't let the truth get in the

way of things.

That's ironic, isn't it?

As Mark said, this is the Europeans. It is a podcast hosted by me, Katie Lee, a journalist in

Paris. And me, Dominic Kramer, an opera singer in Amsterdam. I nearly said Paris there.

Well, you are going to be Paris. Next week, it's very exciting. We might even record some stuff

together. Watch out, Paris. I'm coming for you. Yeah, everyone's already forewarned. Don't worry about it. How's Amsterdam looking this week?

Amsterdam is looking fine, although I'm a bit worried that my neighbours might be reporting me

to the police because I'm currently learning contemporary German opera with which the

libretto is mainly Nazi propaganda.
