The gang from Tienen is here!
My cousins, Jill (Insta@vandewijerjill) and Britt Vandewijer (Insta@vandewijerbritt), a comic GenZ duo came to the studio right after the first lockdown to blow off some steam and tell me about what we don't read in the reports about their age group. I was eager to know what keeps them busy, how do they see society, education, mental health and what is their surfing behaviour like?
For me they are the face for self-mockery and down-to-earth comedy. From Château Meiland to Alpacas, the way how they interpret and imitate pop-culture is both funny and full of sharp perception. As we say here: "straffe madammen".
You also hear how good humour can come from a painful place, when they open up about their school and uni experiences during the lockdown. This episode is here to give a face to our youngsters who had a hard time during this pandemic, but who, as ever, show great resilience in coping -while leaving their eldest cousin inspired and full of respect.
However this episode might be in Dutch, it might provide a good reason to convert yourself to our language. I had a lovely time talking to these prodigy Youtubers. Enjoy!

During a hot summer day we had Els Deboutte on our show. She is a Leuven (Belgium) -based HR veteran who started her own coaching program, called Make Me Fly (https://makemefly.be/) and tea and wine bar with her husband, called Terroir (https://www.terroirleuven.be/).
Through wit and humour we passed an intense afternoon debating personal growth. An important topic to look out for: what it is like for a mother to swim against the current when you choose to swap your job for an uncertain future as an entrepreneur.
Enjoy the life stories from someone who sees the world in her own way, without an apology, nor any excuses.

Ok, hier komt het.
Deze aflevering bestaat uit twee delen: Piloot 1 en Piloot 2.
Na het maken van deel 1 (de meer spontane versie van piloot 2) hebben de makers (Philip Vanstapel en Jacques Lacquet) hun pitch verbeterd en hun bedoeling met deze maatschappij-kritische podcast alvast aangescherpt. Een nieuwe episode betekent dus weer iets anders dat ze bijgeleerd hebben over het maken van podcasts.
Knippen wordt tot een minimum gereduceerd, want om het meevolgen van het groeiproces mogelijk te maken is transparantie belangrijk. Denk daarom mee met ons, geniet en onthoud goed:
