Van onze Correspondent is een serie van de makers van podcast De Dag. Iedere zondag maken we kennis met een van de correspondenten van de NOS, het land waar ze wonen, en de verhalen die wat hen betreft meer aandacht verdienen. Vandaag: Rudy Bouma, correspondent Verenigde Staten & Canada. Rudy woont en werkt nu een kleine drie jaar in Washington. Toen hij aankwam was Joe Biden nog president. Bouma vertelt dat hij opzich goed voorbereid was op de tweede termijn Trump: hij volgde hem al heel goed vanuit Nederland. Maar toch blijkt de stortvloed aan nieuws van de regering Trump erg vermoeiend. “Je wordt zo overspoeld, dat je soms heel goed moet nadenken wat doet hij nou echt?” Hoe is het werken nu? Ook zonder auto, zoals Bouma? Heeft hij zorgen over zijn veiligheid? En hoe kijkt Rudy naar de grote verbouwing van de stad Washington? En die drukte, hoe pakt Rudy dat aan? “Mijn voorganger noemde ons beroep: vakkenvuller. En zo zie ik het ook.” In de podcast vertelt Bouma hoe hij van journalist die diep in dossiers duikt bij Nieuwsuur correspondent werd. Tijdens de opname krijgt Rudy kippenvel, omdat we teruggaan naar een fijn moment in zijn jeugd. Hij wilde van jongs af aan al een journalist worden die reizend z'n verhalen maakt voor tv en leeft dus nu zijn droom: “ik denk er niet vaak over na, maar het is natuurlijk fantastisch.” Volgende week hebben we de laatste in deze serie met Daisy Mohr, correspondent Midden-Oosten vanuit de Libanese hoofdstad Beiroet.

A new report into the NSW police force has revealed bullying, incivility, and discrimination are at 'unacceptable levels' within the force. More than 5,000 current and former staff engaged with the review, which was undertaken by former Victorian equal opportunity and human rights commissioner Kristen Hilton. Australian correspondent Murray Olds says the inquiry ran for 18 months, and uncovered high rates of victimisation, with many impacted staff feeling afraid to speak up.

Another member of Sir Keir Starmer's cabinet has jumped ship, with Britain's Defence Secretary John Healey the latest to go. He's the sixth minister to resign in the past month. Healey's accusing the Prime Minister of putting the UK at risk, with a planned defence spending uplift of just 0.08% of GDP. UK Correspondent Vincent McAviney told Francesca Rudkin that Healey's suggesting it won't provide the military equipment needed in a dangerous world. He says Starmer's acknowledged Healey's comments but says he doesn't agree - but also hasn't found anyone to replace him yet. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Episode 227, Sarah talks with book industry analyst Brenna Connor about the behind-the-scenes world of book sales, bestseller lists, and publishing trends. Brenna shares insight into how sales data is gathered and used across the publishing industry, from tracking pre-orders and audiobooks to measuring the impact of celebrity book clubs and award recognition. They also discuss what makes a book commercially "successful," what current reading trends are revealing about 2026 so far, and what Brenna is watching for in the second half of the year.

Van onze Correspondent is een serie van de makers van podcast De Dag. Iedere zondag maken we kennis met een van de correspondenten van de NOS, het land waar ze wonen, en de verhalen die wat hen betreft meer aandacht verdienen. Vandaag: Devi Boerema, correspondent Zuid-Azië.  Devi woont sinds vorig jaar in New Delhi, in India. En daar beginnen haar dagen vroeg: ze moet om 04.30u opstaan om haar watertank te vullen. Water dat goed van pas komt als het 46 graden is, zoals nu. Op sommige dagen komt ze nog eerder haar bed uit, om hard te lopen in de stad die daarna door hitte en smog wordt verteerd.  Het is een groot verschil met het leven in Mumbai, waar ze eerder woonde. Ze was er toen de stad in 2008 werd getroffen door aanslagen, en was dagenlang op pad om verslag te doen voor Nederlandse media. Het was de start van haar journalistieke carrière.  Nu, 18 jaar later, doet ze weer verslag vanuit India. Met in haar hand een lijstje met onderwerpen die ze vooral niet te veel aandacht wil geven: vrouwen in sari's bijvoorbeeld, en het kastenstelsel. Want India is zo veel meer dan achtergrondverhalen: het land is belangrijk op het wereldtoneel, en dat wil Devi laten zien.  Volgende week: een gesprek met Rudy Bouma, correspondent in Washington.

The latest batch of files relating to Peter Mandelson's appointment to be released is reflecting poorly on the UK's Labour Party. More than 1,500 pages of messages, emails, and other correspondence was released, and among them was criticism of Sir Keir Starmer by both Mandelson and other ministers. In May 2025, Mandelson told Minister Pat McFadden that Starmer “lacks verve”, and the same month, cabinet minister Pat McFadden criticised government policy on public spending and welfare, saying “every meeting I have is 'who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others." UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the files are uniquely embarrassing to the Labour Party. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Van onze Correspondent is een serie van de makers van podcast De Dag. Iedere zondag maken we kennis met een van de correspondenten van de NOS, het land waar ze wonen, en de verhalen die wat hen betreft meer aandacht verdienen. Vandaag: Meike Wijers, correspondent Australië, Nieuw Zeeland en Pacifische eilanden. Meike had nooit gedacht aan de andere kant van de wereld te belanden. Ze wilde altijd graag de grens over, andere culturen en landen ontdekken. Maar tijdens een reis door Latijns-Amerika had ze gedacht daarnaartoe te verkassen. Maar door haar toenmalige Australische vriend belandde ze eerst in Londen en vervolgens down under. Direct toen ze voet zette op Australische bodem was ze verkocht door de rauwe natuur, de mooie vogels en de mensen. Het land fascineert Meike, omdat het vol tegenstrijdigheden zit. Het is een land opgebouwd uit migranten, maar de laatste jaren is ook hier het anti-migratiegeluid gegroeid. En er is altijd de omgang met de oorspronkelijke bewoners, de aboriginals, die ongemakkelijk voelt. En dan zijn er nog de duizenden eilanden die in haar gebied vallen met eigen culturen en gebruiken die zo interessant zijn. Toen Meike vertrok zeiden mensen tegen haar: bereid je maar voor, je zal het niet heel druk hebben. Maar daar merkte Wijers de afgelopen jaren niks van. Ze ligt naar eigen zeggen te weinig op het strand, waar ze zo graag komt. De combinatie van dat strand en de multiculturele stad Sydney maakt dat Meike voorlopig niet aan vertrekken denkt. “Ook al was het nooit een droom van me, is dat het wel geworden. Het blijft gewoon een hele interessante plek om te werken en een hele fijne plek om te wonen.” Cultuurtips: De film The Castle Videoclip van David Bowie - Let's dance Volgende week: een gesprek met Rolien Creton, correspondent in Kopenhagen.

Announcements One of the many benefits to supporting the podcast through either our Patreon Community or our Substack Community (both for just $7/mo) is that you get access to several bonus podcast episode series, including Book Preview Extras! In these episodes, Catherine and Sarah share 4 bonus books (2 each) we are excited about that we did not share in the big show preview episode. Get more details about all the goodies available and sign up here for Patreon and here for Substack! Highlights A lightning round of some big summer releases that are NOT our personal preview picks. Catherine's theme this season was following her initial emotional reaction to a book, while Sarah's picks skew a bit outside of her usual comfort zone. Catherine chose books across historical fiction, cultural fiction, romance, humor, and thriller. One of the season's more challenging reads for Catherine comes from an author she trusts, while Sarah has two books over 450 pages. There's one debut in Sarah's stack this season — along with some historical fiction. Sarah has already read one of her picks — not only was it 5 stars, it's already a strong contender for book of the year. Plus, their #1 picks for summer.

Chloe opens up about her two-year journey to parenthood with husband, Brian, after diagnoses of low ovarian reserve and male factor infertility.
