DutchNews podcast – Tjeenk Willink’s Love Letters Edition – Week 24

In this week’s podcast we look at the latest failure to form a Dutch government, a €60,000 barrel of herring and the tragic consequences of an online ‘choke challenge’. We also have a fizzing and fruity discussion about the burgeoning craft beer scene in the Netherlands.
