Hello there, listeners. Before we start, we have a little announcement to make. We are launching a new

mini-series with our friends at the lovely magazine, Are We Europe? And we are looking for your stories.

The series is called This Is What a Generation Sounds Like, and we'll be recruiting eight young

storytellers who have a personal story that reflects on what it's like

to be young in Europe right now. We have quite a vague definition of young, don't we?

Well, are we including ourselves in that definition? Yes. We've created the boundaries just

so we're within that definition. Very convenient. It's a paid project for eight participants

and each person will come out

with a beautifully produced visual podcast episode about their story and they'll also get some training

in podcast making along the way from our wonderful producers. Getting paid to learn to make podcasts,

what could be better? If this project sounds like it might be something that's perfect for you or

someone you know,

then head to our website.

There's a link in our show notes of the specific place on our website where you'll find it.

Can't wait to hear from you.

Now, time for the show.

Music Welcome back to the Europeans, which is now being recorded 100% in cities under curfew.

We are stuck in the house, which I suppose leaves more time for podcasting, at least.

Seems like the curfews been much more controversial over there in the Netherlands than it has been here in France, Dominic.

Yeah, it's been quite a horrible few days, in fact, or a few nights with riots in the street,

people throwing fireworks at hospitals and setting cars and bikes on fire.

It's awful.
