NEW EPISODE: This week on the podcast, we're delving into our weird obsession with the Nutri-Score food labels used in 8 European countries.

Why might chamomile tea get a C rating when a diet cola gets an A? And does Giorgia Meloni have a point in claiming the ratings are biased against Italians?

We're also talking about Georgia's protests and a scary moment in German politics.

Hey Mastodon, what are your favourite Europe-related accounts to follow? National/European politics, culture, tech, sport, science, etc.

After initially feeling very hopeful that this site could be a great home for us post-Twitter, the conversation has rather dried up over here (for us, at least!) so we’d love to find some new people to follow!

It’s the only revolution in world history (that we know of) that began with a Eurovision song. Today, Portugal marks 50 years since the Carnation Revolution ended decades of dictatorship. This week on the podcast, we talk about the day that changed everything.

Fantastic news yesterday that the #KlimaSeniorinnen have won the first #climate case victory at the European Court of Human Rights. We made an podcast last year about this epic battle, challenging the idea that climate #activism is for young people.

NEW PODCAST: This week we're taking a look at the EU's once-trumpeted nature restoration law. Can the EU still claim to be a world leader when it comes to going green?

PLUS a music-themed good week, bad week 🎵

We've got a #Czech-focused podcast for you this week. We're discussing what happened when the Wall Street Journal rather patronisingly described Czechia as 'a small ex-Soviet satellite state'. Plus, why the Czech government is so much less scared of China than others in Europe.

Our Twitter feed is 100% Kate Middleton Photoshop drama; our Mastodon feed is 0% Kate Middleton Photoshop drama.

I’m torn between feeling relieved and also very much enjoying the drama 🤪

Who’s got reading recommendations on why Ireland delivered such resounding ‘no’ votes in Friday’s referendums? #ireland #irishreferendum #internationalwomensday

europeanspodcast, 2 months ago to random

Happy #internationalwomensday! Ireland votes today on whether to remove a clause from the national constitution which refers to ‘a woman’s role in the home’. This week, we spoke to Cait Beaumont, a historian of Irish feminism, about how this clause made it into the constitution in the first place.

In February 2022, as Russian tanks rolled across the border, the writer and historian Olesya Khromeychuk told us the story of the boots she had bought for her brother, serving at the front in eastern Ukraine. This week, we're sharing her story again.

We’re away this week, so instead of our usual podcast we’ll be re-releasing a beautiful reading by Olesya Khromeychuk from her book, ‘The Death of a Soldier Told by His Sister’, recorded for us this time two years ago.

Thinking a lot about our Ukrainian friends this week. Here’s a picture from this weekend’s march in Paris, marking two years since the full-scale Russian invasion.

This week we’re talking about the scandal that has shaken his government. We're also talking about the legalisation of gay marriage in #Greece and a Dutch court case that could have major consequences for the war in #Gaza.

Hello, Mastodon! People kept telling us to give you a try, so here we are are. If you're looking for a podcast about Europe that

• isn't boring
• isn't just for people inside the Brussels bubble
• celebrates a Europe much bigger than the EU
• covers politics and policy but also European book, film and TV recommendations
• is rigorously fact-checked but doesn't take itself too seriously

We're the podcast for you!
