Tentang podcast ini
Everything we eat, think, wear, experience and even dream is influenced by global factors, but our news sources are often limited to our own (national) bubble.
I am Vincent Hoffmans, and it puzzles me that ‘the international’ receives so little attention in our lives. That’s why I started Radio Vinternational!
In each episode I interview experts and I try to learn something new about the world from them. The topics range from international art restitution to India's elections, and from fairness in AI to sports politics - as long as it's international, I'm up for it.
