Summary

A treasure-themed episode for you this week: the natural treasures of Poland's ancient Białowieża forest, hidden treasures in rural France, and buried treasure on a German island. Dominic's been chatting to Agata Szafraniuk of environmental lawyers ClientEarth about their battle with the Polish government to protect Białowieża, one of the few remaining patches of the primeval forest that covered Europe 10,000 years ago. Also heading into the countryside are Parisian podcaster Oliver Gee of The Earful Tower fame and his fiancee Lina Nordin, on a quest to discover the real France through a heart-shaped (awwwwww) tour of the country. Plus: Strict Belgian gyms, 10th century bling and a bitcoin heist. We're being listed by Apple as a 'new and noteworthy' podcast for the next few weeks, woohoo!

0:00.0	Hello listeners and welcome to the Europeans, your weekly smorgas board of titbits from across the continent.
0:23.5	I am Dominic Kramer, a singer living in Amsterdam but currently in London. And if she's managed to

0:59.7	meeting a friend from the internet. I mean, I guess you are a friend from the internet. Yeah,
1:02.9	we are friends on the internet nowadays. We actually hadn't seen each other since we recorded

1:12.7	Woohoo!
1:13.6	We should have a big bash.

1:15.1	I'm actually having cake right now, so that's appropriate, it seems.
1:18.5	Yeah, but it was a great trip, I think.
1:20.2	We talked a lot about what we want to do with the podcast, and we did some guest appearances.
1:23.5	There was another podcast, which is very exciting.
1:25.6	And all of this happened when the weather was really good.
