In this episode Colleen and Allard dive into their pasts and discuss all the weird and wild jobs they’ve had in the Netherlands. From Allard’s (cliché!) job at a video rentals shop to Colleen’s escapades hosting speed-dating in Amsterdam for “lonely expats” — find out what they did and why they did it!

The Dutch are known for inventing uber successful! television formats, everything from Big Brother to the Voice! Find out how Colleen serendipitously landed a role as a game-show host on a Dutch mega production…to Allard’s shock and awe!

In this episode, Allard and Colleen share the stage with highly acclaimed Dutch actor and comedian Henry van Loon.

Come along as they discuss Dutch comedy, the sexiest province in Holland (Brabant, of course), soft 'g's' and the history of carnaval.

Didn't know the Dutch celebrate carnival?! Well, neither did Colleen --but luckily Henry is a big fan and a bit of a know-it-all on the subject.

Find out how the Dutch do comedy different (think: singing) and the excellent excuse Henry has for not attending Carnaval this year (psst..it involves a red carpet). One not to be missed!

You know the podcast, the socials, and the memes...but who and what is behind the Stuff Dutch People Like brand?! From its humble beginnings as a blog, to an 8-book series, successful merchandise line and more!

Come along as Allard interviews co-founder Colleen about how she and her partner carved out a lucrative niche and went on to self-publish the #1 best-selling book series of all time on Dutch culture! Listen as Allard and Colleen discuss their creative process, the ups and downs and their advice for those crazy enough to trust their gut!
