Since 2020 I have been sharing 4 podcast tips in May of every year. So far, I’ve shared 20 podcast tips already. You can find the tips in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth edition of this series. Today I will keep the tradition going and share 4 more podcast tips (in May 2024)….

This will be the third and last list with recommendations from 2023. Last week and the week before that I already shared my book recommendations from 2023 and my series recommendations from 2023. Today I will share my documentary recommendations from 2023. After this post, you’re all set for a while haha. You’ll have enough…

Last week I shared all my book recommendations from 2023. Today I will continue this flow with a new list: my series recommendations from 2023. I mean, 2024 has just begun, so that’s the perfect time for me to reflect and write about 2023. Prepare to see more of these kind of posts the coming…

I’ve decided to do things a little different. In the past, I used to write an entire blogpost about one book that I recommend. But starting from today (2024, happy new year!), I want to write one post a year in which I recommend the books which I read the year before and think are…

I found it. The ultimate book that tells me how to eat in order to live longest and best. It’s called How not to die by Micheal Gregor. A book that describes the scientific basis of what’s written in it and tells me on a day to day basis what to eat. When I think…

At this moment, we have a huge agricultural crisis in The Netherlands. It’s one of the things that made our government fall this past week. This crisis inspires me to share a documentary that I’ve seen a while ago, one that tackles the global agricultural crisis we’re in. Today I’ll tell you more about the…

This title says it all. We should all be feminists. But we are not. I think that has to do with a negative image that many people have of feminists. The word feminist even has a negative connotation. People think of it as a curse word. ‘Oh no, I’m not a feminist, I’m not that…

It’s May again! And if you’ve followed this blog for some time, you know what that means. In May I share my favorite podcasts with you. I’ve done that in May of 2020, 2021 and 2022 as well. 99% of the podcasts I listen to are educational podcasts. I listen to them to learn new…

It’s been a while, but today I’m sharing a series with you again. ‘Dominee of Koopman’, a Dutch series. In English it would say ‘Reverend or merchant’. It’s a series which dives a little deeper in the world of Dutch development aid. Something I’m very much interested in, because I feel like countries which are…

If I must believe up-to-date numbers, only a small percentage of people in society are transgender. Numbers vary, but the highest number I’ve seen is 4%. That’s a minority. Most people say they don’t know someone who is transgender. And as is usually the case for minorities, there are many misconceptions about that minority. And…
