Hello listeners, just wanted to let you know that part of this week's episode deals with rape and sexual assault.

If that's something that you might find upsetting, you might want to skip that part of the show.

It's between 23 minutes in and 30 minutes in. Hello listeners. We're back with another episode of your favourite topical European podcast.

I am Dominic Kramer, the Amsterdam half of this podcasting team.

And I'm speaking to my good friend Katie Lee in Paris, the other half of our empire.

How are you doing over there?

I'm doing very well. How are you?

Are you actually in Amsterdam? I thought you're in Germany.

I am in Germany for the summer, but I've come back for the weekend because I've got another show here.

But you've got an exciting week ahead of you, haven't you, Katie? I have indeed. By the time you hear this, listeners, I too will be in

Germany in beautiful Arkin near the Belgian border. I'm going up there for the Charlemagne

Youth Prize, which is the prize that we got nominated for. We are representing the Netherlands.

Don't laugh. I'm not laughing. It's just because it's a bit awkward because I'm like British.

I live in France and I'm going to have to go there and be like,

yep, I'm here as the Netherlands. But that's fine. I think that's a beautiful part of the European

project. Dominic and I are technically still young people at 30, but I think most of the other

people there are going to be like 18 and full of enthusiasm for life. So it's going to be fun.

But no, genuinely, it's going to be a great few days,

meeting young people from all around the continent,

doing cool things.

And we might win some money.

Quite a lot of money, actually,
