U.S. appeals court judges questioned on Thursday whether President Donald Trump's tariffs were justified by the president's emergency powers. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., is considering the legality of "reciprocal" tariffs that Trump imposed on a broad range of U.S. trading partners in April, as well as tariffs imposed in February against China, Canada and Mexico.Trump said on Thursday he had agreed with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to extend an existing trade deal with Mexico for 90 days and continue talks over that period with the goal of signing a new deal. "Mexico will continue to pay a 25% Fentanyl Tariff, 25% Tariff on Cars, and 50% Tariff on Steel, Aluminum, and Copper. Additionally, Mexico has agreed to immediately terminate its Non Tariff Trade Barriers, of which there were many," Trump said in a Truth Social post.Delta Air Lines said an Airbus A330-900 from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was hit by serious turbulence on Wednesday, forcing the flight to divert to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The airline said 25 passengers were taken to hospitals for evaluation and treatment. One passenger said people who weren't wearing seat belts were thrown about the cabin.

Passengers on a Delta flight from Utah to Amsterdam found themselves diverted to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Wednesday night after severe turbulence prompted an emergency landing. Their plane took off from Salt Lake City Wednesday afternoon. About an hour into the flight, they ran into turbulence that caused the plane's altitude to drop about 1,000 feet within a minute – according to the flight-tracking website, FlightAware. Delta said 25 people on board were injured. They were taken to hospitals after landing. We wanted to know more about what causes severe turbulence.

Beleggers van farmaceut Novo Nordisk zijn afvallig. Het aandeel wordt gedumpt, want de directie komt met misselijkmakend nieuws. Er is voor de tweede keer dit jaar een winstwaarschuwing en als toetje komt daar nog een omzetwaarschuwing bovenop.De verkoop van de afvalprikken van Novo Nordisk vallen tegen. Concurrent Eli Lilly doet het beter. Alleen profiteert het aandeel van de concurrent niet van de neergang van Novo Nordisk. Sterker nog: die gaat ook hard onderuit. Beleggers denken namelijk dat de hele sector overdreven is.Daar hebben we het deze aflevering over. Is de markt voor afvalmedicatie niet gewoon een hype?Hoor je ook over heel veel ander nieuws, want het was een drukke beursdag. Philips bijvoorbeeld, dat hield een zegetocht op de Amsterdamse beurs.

Biophilic design is not just an aesthetic choice, but a critical evolution in workplace design. As work becomes increasingly digital and flexible, the traditional office is transforming into a dynamic, nature-integrated environment. We speak with Jeremy Myerson, design writer and Professor Emeritus in the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design at the Royal College of Art, who argues that the future workplace must move beyond sterile, industrial spaces to create settings that support human well-being, align with natural rhythms, and enhance productivity. This means incorporating elements like natural light, green spaces, vertical gardens, and designs that connect workers with the natural world. The post-pandemic workplace is no longer about containing workers, but about creating flexible, health-affirming spaces that recognize humans as part of a living ecosystem. Biophilic design, in Jeremy's vision, is the key to reimagining work as an holistic experience that nurtures both human potential and ecological connection. He shares with us highlights from his recent book "Unworking," and traces the fascinating evolution of workplace design and champions biophilic principles as a critical solution to our modern work challenges. The journey begins with agrarian societies, where work was intimately connected to nature - tasks performed on kitchen tables, in fields, and closely aligned with natural rhythms. The industrial revolution dramatically changed this relationship, creating artificial, efficiency-driven environments that systematically separated workers from the natural world. “We created an artificial internal environment in which to work, and the idea of technology, process and industrialisation was very much about conquering nature and resisting nature and separating nature from how we work. We pushed nature back at the end of the 19th century. We kept it at bay during the 20th century. And now we're beginning to think, well, actually, more natural ways of working, outdoor space, access to natural light and clean air, closeness to plants and greenery. All of this helps working life, but we're having to kind of put in a superhuman effort to try and bring back something that was naturally part of our existence. There's a certain irony in that there.” Workplaces became sterile containers designed to maximize productivity, with little consideration for human well-being or natural connections.Jeremy identifies three distinct phases of workplace evolution: the age of efficiency, the age of community, and the age of network. Each phase represents a gradual recognition that workers are not machines, but complex beings who thrive in more holistic environments. Today, we're entering a transformative fourth phase where biophilic design isn't just a nice-to-have, but a fundamental requirement. Digital technologies have liberated work from fixed locations, allowing for more flexible, nature-integrated approaches. For Jeremy, biophilic design extends beyond mere aesthetics. It's about creating environments that support human health, productivity, and well-being. His work with the Healthy City Design Congress emphasizes reconnecting public health with urban planning - a relationship that was intrinsic during the Victorian era but was lost during industrialization. We discuss innovative workplaces like GSK's London headquarters, which features a vertical farm, sit-stand desks, and carefully managed work environments. Booking.com's Amsterdam office demonstrates how biophilic principles can create socially permeable spaces that connect with broader community needs. Biophilia in society extends beyond individual workspaces and places to entire urban landscapes. Jeremy advocates for the "15-minute city" concept, where essential services are accessible within a short walk or cycle, for example Paris design. This approach integrates nature, reduces car dependency, and creates more human-centric urban environments. "We're trying to reconnect something that industrialisation broke," Jeremy says. His magic brush of biophilia would paint cities with more vegetation, slower traffic, and spaces that prioritize human and ecological well-being. The future of work, according to Jeremy, is not about returning to traditional office models but creating diverse, flexible strategies that blend work and life. Hybrid working, technological integration, and biophilic design are key components of this transformation.For Jeremy, biophilic design represents more than an architectural trend. It's a fundamental reimagining of how we interact with our environments, recognising that human productivity and well-being are intrinsically linked to our connection with nature. If we embrace biophilic principles, we can create environments that support human potential, ecological sustainability, and a more holistic approach to work and urban living.

Story Transcript:Nl: De zon scheen fel door het raam van Sanne's kleine, moderne appartement in Amsterdam.En: The sun shone brightly through the window of Sanne's small, modern apartment in Amsterdam.Nl: Ze keek naar de passerende trams en de drukte van de stad beneden.En: She watched the passing trams and the hustle and bustle of the city below.Nl: Het was zomer, en toch voelde ze zich koud en alleen.En: It was summer, yet she felt cold and alone.Nl: Haar gedachten dwaalden af naar Bram, haar vriend in Utrecht.En: Her thoughts wandered to Bram, her boyfriend in Utrecht.Nl: Ze hield van hem, dat wist ze zeker.En: She loved him, she was sure of that.Nl: Maar het leven in een langeafstandrelatie was moeilijk.En: But living in a long-distance relationship was difficult.Nl: De vluchtige berichten en korte telefoontjes waren niet genoeg om de leegte te vullen.En: The fleeting messages and short phone calls weren't enough to fill the void.Nl: Ze deelde haar twijfels met Lieke, haar goede vriendin.En: She shared her doubts with Lieke, her good friend.Nl: "Ik mis hem zo veel, Lieke.En: "I miss him so much, Lieke.Nl: Maar soms weet ik niet of we dit volhouden," zei Sanne, terwijl ze koffie dronken in een klein café om de hoek.En: But sometimes I don't know if we can keep this up," said Sanne, as they drank coffee in a small café around the corner.Nl: Lieke knikte begrijpend.En: Lieke nodded understandingly.Nl: "Je moet hem vertellen hoe je je echt voelt," stelde ze voor.En: "You have to tell him how you really feel," she suggested.Nl: "Ga naar hem toe.En: "Go to him.Nl: Verras hem."En: Surprise him."Nl: Die avond besloot Sanne spontaan naar Utrecht te reizen.En: That evening, Sanne spontaneously decided to travel to Utrecht.Nl: Ze voelde zich zenuwachtig maar vastberaden.En: She felt nervous but determined.Nl: De trein bracht haar langs groene velden en schilderachtige dorpjes.En: The train took her past green fields and picturesque villages.Nl: Terwijl ze dichterbij kwam, stelde ze zich voor hoe Bram zou reageren.En: As she got closer, she imagined how Bram would react.Nl: Het idee gaf haar hoop en moed.En: The thought gave her hope and courage.Nl: Utrecht was anders dan Amsterdam.En: Utrecht was different from Amsterdam.Nl: Minder chaos, meer charme.En: Less chaos, more charm.Nl: Sanne vond Bram in een kleine supermarkt, zijn favoriete waar hij had verteld over de verse stokbroden en kaas.En: Sanne found Bram in a small supermarket, his favorite, where he had talked about the fresh baguettes and cheese.Nl: Hij stond bij de groentenafdeling, verdiept in de keuze van tomaten.En: He was standing in the produce section, absorbed in choosing tomatoes.Nl: "Sanne!"En: "Sanne!"Nl: riep hij verrast.En: he exclaimed in surprise.Nl: Zijn ogen lichtten op.En: His eyes lit up.Nl: "Wat doe jij hier?"En: "What are you doing here?"Nl: "Ik wilde je verrassen en... praten," antwoordde Sanne voorzichtig.En: "I wanted to surprise you and... talk," Sanne replied cautiously.Nl: Ze pakten een mandje en begonnen samen boodschappen te doen.En: They picked up a basket and started grocery shopping together.Nl: Tussen de kraampjes met verse producten probeerde Sanne de juiste woorden te vinden.En: Among the stalls with fresh produce, Sanne tried to find the right words.Nl: Uiteindelijk, bij het pakken van een appel, draaide ze zich naar Bram toe.En: Finally, as she picked up an apple, she turned to Bram.Nl: "Ik voel me vaak zo alleen zonder jou," zei ze zachtjes.En: "I often feel so alone without you," she said softly.Nl: "En ik weet niet of onze korte gesprekken genoeg zijn."En: "And I don't know if our short conversations are enough."Nl: Bram bleef even stil, nadenkend.En: Bram remained silent for a moment, thinking.Nl: Hij legde zijn hand op de hare.En: He placed his hand on hers.Nl: "Sanne, ik mis je ook.En: "Sanne, I miss you too.Nl: Diep van binnen weet ik dat we dit kunnen.En: Deep down, I know we can do this.Nl: Maar we moeten meer tijd voor elkaar maken.En: But we need to make more time for each other.Nl: Wat als we elkaar elk weekend zien?"En: What if we see each other every weekend?"Nl: Sanne keek hem aan, en de ruimte vulde zich met een nieuwe warmte.En: Sanne looked at him, and the space filled with a new warmth.Nl: Het simpele voorstel liet haar hart sneller kloppen.En: The simple proposal made her heart beat faster.Nl: Dit was precies wat ze nodig had om hoop te voelen voor hun toekomst samen.En: This was exactly what she needed to feel hope for their future together.Nl: Ze wandelden verder door de straten van Utrecht, hun handen stevig in elkaar.En: They continued walking through the streets of Utrecht, their hands firmly clasped.Nl: De avondzon scheen nu zachter, schilderde gouden stralen op de plaveien.En: The evening sun now shone more softly, painting golden rays on the cobblestones.Nl: Alles leek opeens meer mogelijk, meer echt.En: Everything suddenly seemed more possible, more real.Nl: Sanne voelde het verschil – niet in de stad, maar in haar hart.En: Sanne felt the difference—not in the city, but in her heart.Nl: Hun liefde zou sterker zijn dan de afstand die hen scheidde.En: Their love would be stronger than the distance that separated them.

We hebben er lang op moeten wachten, maar het is eindelijk zover: er ligt een deal tussen de VS en de EU. Wat begon als een golftripje van Donald Trump naar Schotland eindigde in top-overleg met Ursula von der Leyen. Samen vertelden ze met een glimlach wat de uitkomst van de onderhandelingen is. Maar of beleggers diezelfde glimlach moeten hebben, dat is nog maar de vraag. Want in het rijtje aan eisen en voorwaarden staan vooral voordelen voor de VS. Heeft Europa zichzelf gered van een doemscenario, of heeft het overhaast een deal willen bereiken? Die vraag beantwoorden we deze aflevering voor je. Dan hoor je ook uitgebreid wie er in de huidige deal de grote winnaars en verliezers zijn. En wat er in de komende maanden nog kan gaan veranderen. Daarnaast hebben we het ook over een andere mega-deal. Twee bedrijven die er slecht voorstaan bundelen de krachten, om allebei hun eigen concurrenten weer aan te kunnen. Tesla en Samsung gaan voor 16,5 miljard dollar met elkaar in zee. Tesla betaalt daarmee een groot deel van een investering in een nieuwe chipfabriek van Samsung terug. En Samsung belooft de volgende generatie AI-chips voor Tesla te maken. En we vertellen je over de foute inschatting van Heineken. Dat presenteert met trots de halfjaarcijfers, maar dondert naar beneden op de beurs. Beleggers maken zich zorgen om de dalende verkoopvolumes. Waarom heeft de topman die zorgen niet?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Er is al veel gezegd over het handelsakkoord dat gisteren in Schotland werd getekend tussen de Verenigde Staten en de EU – en lang niet altijd positief. En ook Arnoud Boot, hoogleraar ondernemingsfinanciering en financiële markten aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam, loopt niet over van enthousiasme. ‘Europa heeft zich de kaas van het brood laten eten. De Verenigde Staten leggen Europa eigenlijk op wat ze willen.’ Met de deal tussen de VS en Europa lijkt een verdere escalatie van de handelsoorlog voorlopig voorkomen, maar Brussel is er niet geheel schadevrij vanaf gekomen. De Amerikanen gaan 15 procent heffen op een breed scala aan Europese producten, waaronder auto’s, farmaceutica en halfgeleiders. Daarnaast gaat Europa veel energie en defensie kopen in Amerika en investeren in het land. ‘Een akkoord suggereert trouwens dat het van beide kanten komt, en dit is nogal eenzijdig.’ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De situatie in Israël en Gaza is hooggespannen en iedere toeschouwer speelt voor eigen expert. Maar wat kunnen we op wetenschappelijke grond zeggen over deze oorlog? “De wetenschap is er vrij eenduidig over eens dat het hier gaat om een Genocide.” In deze aflevering van Focus vertelt Uğur Ümit Üngör (https://www.niod.nl/medewerkers/ugur-umit-ungor), hoogleraar Holocaust- en Genocidestudies aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en het Nederlands Instituut voor Oorlogs-, Holocaust- en Genocidestudies (NIOD), hoe hij onderzoek doet naar genocide.   "Ik ben op zoek naar patronen en motieven"   Wat is het belang van het benoemen van een conflict als een genocide? Verslaggever Syb Faes stond op de Rode lijn demonstratie in Den Haag en sprak met demonstranten over hoe zij met deze term omgaan.

Though this is the second episode of our international series, Amsterdam was actually the very first stop on this trip. At the Joods Museum, we sat down with city council members Sheher Khan (DENK) and Itay Garmy (Volt) — two leaders whose politics and identities often place them on opposite sides: Sheher, a Muslim and pro-Palestinian voice; Itay, a Jewish Israeli representative.And yet, in the wake of October 7th, they came together to propose a new kind of politics — one rooted in dialogue. Their joint initiative, “Bekend maakt Bemind” (“To Be Known is To Be Loved”), had been introduced earlier that year in May. Just three days after October 7, 2023, it was unanimously adopted by the Amsterdam City Council. The proposal has since been embedded in the city's anti-discrimination strategy, with tangible actions already underway — including public dialogues at City Hall and the mayor's residence, and programs across Amsterdam schools.In this episode, Sheher and Itay speak candidly about polarization, pain, and the quiet courage required to choose dialogue over division — and what a Third Narrative might look like when lived out through local leadership.

Over social media, algoritmes, marketingverantwoordelijkheid en vrouwelijke rolmodellenDe gemiddelde tienermeisje spendeert 5,4 uur per dag op social media. Meer dan de helft krijgt daar te maken met seksisme, haat of commentaar op haar uiterlijk. Een op de drie voelt zich daarna rot. Toch blijven we als samenleving - en als merken - deze platforms voeden en normaliseren. Hoe kunnen we dat keren?5,4 uur per dag online… en dan?Tienermeisjes brengen gemiddeld 5,4 uur per dag door op social media. 60% krijgt daar te maken met haat, seksisme of uiterlijk commentaar. En 30% voelt zich daarna rot. “We zien dat meisjes elkaar naar beneden praten. Op uiterlijk, gedrag, kleding. En dat gebeurt vaak op platforms waar ouders geen zicht op hebben, zoals Snapchat,” vertelt Anne-Marie.De invloed van algoritmesSocial media zijn gebouwd op algoritmes die niet alleen aandacht, maar ook gedrag sturen. Eén klik op een filmpje over automutilatie of lichaamsissues, en een kind belandt in een ‘rabbit hole' van vergelijkbare content. “Weet je, ik zie algoritmes als iets neutraals. Maar als je het voedt met extreme content, dan versterkt het dat. En het is een systeem dat niet vraagt: ‘Is dit goed voor jou?' Het vraagt: ‘Wil je dit nog een keer zien?'” zegt Maartje. De effecten daarvan zijn op jonge leeftijd vaak nog intenser, zeker wanneer ouders geen zicht hebben op de platformen waarop dit gebeurt.Offline als nieuw luxeproductToch is er hoop. We zien een groeiende behoefte aan offline samenzijn. Aan échte verbinding. Aan communities. “Steeds meer mensen verlangen naar plekken waar je zonder telefoon kunt zijn, waar je echt contact maakt,” vertelt Maartje. “Het is niet voor niets dat mensen honderden euro's per maand betalen voor clubs of retraites waar je verplicht offline moet. Dat zegt iets. Offline is het nieuwe exclusief.”Wat merken kunnen doenBeide vrouwen zijn het eens: merken hebben hier een rol in te pakken. Niet alleen door campagnes die awareness creëren, maar juist door mensen fysiek samen te brengen. Door digitale én fysieke werelden op een slimme manier te verbinden. Anne-Marie: “Kijk naar campagnes als die van SportCity over mentale gezondheid. Of Doritos x Minecraft, waarin jongeren letterlijk van de bank kwamen.”En ook binnen communities kan het anders. “In de Female Leaders Club bouwen we heel bewust aan een veilige, fysieke omgeving. Niet iedereen mag zomaar binnen, en we bewaken dat actief,” zegt Maartje. “Want juist in die veilige setting ontstaan gesprekken die je online nooit voert, omdat je je in een fijne community wél kwetsbaar op durft te stellen.”Van rolmodel naar normEen belangrijke rode draad in dit gesprek is het belang van rolmodellen. Niet als symbool, maar als gedrag. “Monkey see, monkey do,” zegt Anne-Marie. “Onze dochters kijken naar wat we doen, niet wat we zeggen.” En dat geldt niet alleen voor ouders, maar ook voor leiders in media, marketing en merken.Conclusie: we hebben iets te doenDe wereld is online. Maar het leven gebeurt offline. Als we willen dat onze dochters stevig staan in een wereld die hen voortdurend vertelt wat ze moeten zijn, dan moeten wij die andere wereld bouwen. In ons werk, in onze gezinnen, en in de communities die we vormgeven.Over Maartje Blijleven Maartje Blijleven is #1 bestsellerauteur, keynote spreker en senior community strateeg met meer dan 24 jaar ervaring bij o.a.

The Calling to Reorient the Self How can the sacred be recovered in a world fractured by autonomy and fragmentation? In this deeply personal episode of Kainos on The Lectern, recorded during a session hosted by Alexander Beiner on Kainos, John Vervaeke shares reflections from his recent pilgrimage across Europe—what he calls the Philosophical Silk Road. Weaving through sacred conversations and historic locations, he explores profound ideas like theosis, theoria, and voluntary necessity, inviting listeners into a lived philosophy of sacred participation. From Istanbul to Rome to Amsterdam, each location becomes a catalyst for insight and inner transformation. Vervaeke challenges the Enlightenment's idolization of autonomy and points toward a new possibility: a spirituality of finite transcendence, rooted in embodied knowing and dialogical belonging. This episode offers a raw and unfiltered account of mystical experience, intellectual shift, and spiritual disorientation—all in service of rediscovering what it means to be in contact with reality, in its fullest, most sacred form.

This week we go back in time to 2022 to re-enter the world of cardiogenetics and electrophysiology when we review the topic of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Is there a 'best' beta blocker for the treatment of this condition? Why is one better than others? How should one manage the patient who is intolerant of beta blockade but needs it for prevention of arrhythmia? What is the role of flecainide, sympathectomy or even ICD's for these patients? PhD candidate and physician Dr. Puck Peltenburg and CPVT world authority, Dr. Christian van der Werf (both of University of Amsterdam) share their deep insights this week. doi: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.056018.

Transcript of the Interview: Manya Brachear Pashman:   Israeli stand up comedian Yohay Sponder: first gained popularity for his funny Monday shows in Tel Aviv, which attracted a following on YouTube. A few years ago, Sponder made the decision to perform Israeli comedy in English to reach a wider audience and a wider audience it has reached. He has hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, and in May, launched the North American leg of his international tour in Baltimore.  Sponder is with us now on the sidelines of AJC Global Forum 2025. Sponder, welcome to People of the Pod.  Yohay Sponder:   Thank you so much for this eulogy. Manya Brachear Pashman:   I'm curious how you found your way to stand up comedy and tell us a little bit about your upbringing in general.  Yohay Sponder:   Doing comedy, I always been fascinated about the laughing reaction of humans. You know, it's fascinating, if you think about it, if you have the ability to improve the frequency in the room. As a kid, I was really intrigued by that. So you saying few things, and people go, haha. It's like designing a vibe.  So as a kid, I was attracted to that. So as a kid, you watch video cassettes, back in the day, I would watch all of the comedy stuff. I had all of them cassettes. I was very, very affected by it, impersonations, imitating them, doing jokes of my own, and always around that.  And in my show, I'm talking about comedy. I have a bit about comedy in my show that I'm saying that I was, I wasn't just the class clown in my school. I was the jokes technician. If you had a broken joke or a joke that didn't work, you would come to me. I would fix it for you, bring it back. Not using it as my own resume. I would bring it back, when it's fixed. Manya Brachear Pashman:   That's great. So you helped others clown around as well. Yohay Sponder:   Yeah, I was a clown teacher.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Were you raised in a secular home, a particularly Jewish home? Yohay Sponder:   I was raised in a, let's say secular but Jewish, celebrated holidays, family Friday night family dinners. But we weren't like super Shabbat keepers. I think I became closer now, when, after my father passed away, I for the Kaddish and I put tefillin a little bit. And the war, you know, this war, activated a lot of Jews to the to this kind of level. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Right. You're sitting across from me, and you're wearing a gigantic Star of David. On your chest. Yohay Sponder:   Yeah, you see what she did, you see what she did? You're sitting across and you're wearing a gigantic Star of David.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Have you always worn that or did you put it on after October 7? Yohay Sponder:   No, it's after the war kicked in. I don't know. I had a vision that that's what we should do right now. We need to be out there and show other Jews that we're there. That's what I felt. And I imagine that, I need a big star of David. And the day I thought about it, I saw that. So there was a sign for me, like I had this vision, that I need a big star of David here. And less than 24 hours, that one find me. I didn't look for it. It came across my eyes. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Which I imagine you'll be wearing your Magen David on tour. The tour itself is called Self Loving Jew. What is the meaning of that title? Yohay Sponder:   So, basically, you know, this is so awesome, because before October 7, you could argue of other opinion. You could hear some people saying, Yeah, but maybe we should this. After October 7 that we know so all these monsters that came and attack us, the self hating Jews that they're doing now, super horrific, disgusting job of mocking us. And I find it really bad, and I think so I'm I'm bringing the other side. I'm just bringing the you know, it doesn't mean that I hate someone that is not Jewish. I'm just, I want to inspire other people to be to love themselves, even if they're not Jewish. But as Jews, we have to love us, because we're probably the last ones to love us, and if we won't love us, that's that's over for us.  And people, people saying that it's very harsh to compare the self hating Jews of now to the Kapos and and I'm saying, yes, it's it's not fair for the Kapos, because they didn't have a choice. You guys have a choice, and you did it just for likes and for other people from other cultures to like you. I really, I really believe.  I really deeply believe I'm coming from there. I'm coming from the war. I really believe that the people that don't, they don't give us the credit, people that not supporting Israel, they're uneducated. I really believe in that they don't know enough. They might be not bad people, but they might be stupid people.  Self hating Jews, like whatever Dave Smith, all these guys that try to be liked by, you know, others, and they they just out of their own idiocy. Listen, you don't know anything about what's going on. As Douglas Murray told them, ou've been there. You saw those things that you're talking about when you're saying, Israel, starving the Gazans you're never seeing the the trucks that going every day. You're You're an idiot. You're just an idiot. You listen to other people, and you listen to other lies.  And they will say, No, I just want peaceful. We all want peace. Just the fact that you're Jewish, it means that you want peace. We say Shalom when we see each other, when we say Shabbat Shalom. The holiest day of the week. We say telech bshalom, tachzor bshalom. Go in peace, come back in peace. You don't want peace more than I want. We all want peace, but we're willing to fight for peace because we have to make sure that no innocent people from both sides, by the way, will get hurt.  So yeah, it's really bad and shitty situation, war, but you blame us without checking it. So anyway, I don't want it to make it too much political. It's not political, by the way, Self Loving Jew. It's about loving yourself and being, you know, being in touch with what's going on right now.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   So there is so much misinformation out there, you launched your you started doing English language comedy to reach a wider audience. Now you're doing an English language international tour. Do you have a message that you want to get out to the wider world to especially this region where there is so much misinformation and misunderstanding? Yohay Sponder:   Yeah, the message is that, we're living in a time that it's very hard to agree on something, and I really miss the days that we all agree that the world is round. You know, a little long ago, a few years ago. But yeah, the message is that you do your research and come to laugh with us.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   It's an important message that gets forgotten. October 7, and its aftermath were so horrific. Did you press pause on your comedy career for a little while? At what point did you find it acceptable to make people laugh again in the aftermath? Yohay Sponder:   No, it took time. It took time. It took a day. Manya Brachear Pashman:   One day. Okay. Yohay Sponder: Because right after that, after the attack, they start to arrange people to go to volunteer in squads and families that got evacuated from their house and soldiers and hospitals, people got wounded. So I've been around. I did that. That was my duty service. And also I did regular reserves duty, stuff like that.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   And what did you do on reserve duty?  Yohay Sponder: I was in Ramat Gan patrol. So not super serious, but I did what I did.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   And at what point did you go back to the stage and so more standup? Yohay Sponder:   So I'm running the show Funny Monday, I think roughly a month after October 7, we get. Maybe two months, yeah, something like around that. January, maybe, I remember, like a little bit after that, the show went back and we did stand up in English. People really followed what's going on in Israel. No matter what you do from the country, they follow that. And we had strong they were saying, Wait, Shahar Hassan, my co-host, very good friend. Really funny man, serious comedian, like one of A-list, Top list. And people follow, people watching what we have to say. That was the main purpose of Funny Monday, when we launched it in 2016 nine years ago.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Did it shift? When you restarted it after October 7, was it different? How so?  Yohay Sponder:   Yeah. We always talked about current events, what's going on in the world? It's the international perspective of not just news, but Israel perspective and stuff like that. So in that case, you're talking about Iran's attack. What the news with Biden, Benjamin Netanyahu? Whatever is happening politically, or current events and yeah, people were more attached to the screen those days. And also in comedy. It's a great form of art to deliver, you know, your point of view, or your, yeah, your what you want to say. So it's, it was great to do that, and till this very day, that's what we do.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   So you really though, have to read the room, right? I mean, different audiences, I imagine, receive your comedy in different ways, especially in different regions of the world. So I'm curious if there are differences in the kind of humor that resonates with an Israeli audience, and the kind of humor that resonates with an American audience or a European audience. Yohay Sponder:   So that's the thing, why I love my country so much, because you can just stand up in any form you want. You can go as dark as you want in Israel or as political as you want. We have some issues right now with people having fight with each other, of political issues, and we have a lot of demonstrations and stuff. So there's that. But beside that, you can get away with a lot of what people say here in America, woke culture, politically correct. In Israel, we don't have it. You don't stand up like in the 80s. If someone looks gay in the audience, you say, Hey, you look gay man. That's very gay. You're fat. You these, you're old, you're very brown. We just say that, and that's fine. No one canceled. We don't even know what it means to cancel someone. No one get canceled in Israel. Manya Brachear Pashman: Holocaust humor, is that acceptable in Israel? Yohay Sponder: Yeah, it's not just it's acceptable. For example, from my wife's point of view, she was shocked when people came back to say, wow, mitlachot poh shoah—the shower was like, it's the Holocaust. Holocaust shower. They sang that. There's something that you say in the army and it's kind of fine. No one like, hey, how can you compare this? Because the water was cold, so they were called. So they say, but in the Holocaust, no water at all, was gas.  And also, when my wife told me, Don't honk like this, it's ghetto. You know, it's American thing to say, Don't honk. It's ghetto. It's like, I'm pretty sure that in Auschwitz, they didn't have cars.  Manya Brachear Pashman: She's talking about a different kind of gheto.  Yohay Sponder: And she said, like, you can't do these jokes. Yeah, you can't do this. She's like, she's from American perspective, you can't do these jokes. It's horrible. It's like, that's jokes we do here all the time. And in Israel, you use Nazi sometimes, like, as a, not only as a bad thing. It's like, accuracy. You say, like, Nazis coming on time. I need a Nazi plumber, not . . . someone that is a good commander. When I'm having the perspective of my wife and American people, I understand how horrible that is.  However, some Holocaust survivors testify that they had humor in the camps. They used humor, even dark humor, in the camps, and it helped them raise their frequency and raise their morality and maybe survive, maybe humor saved them. So when you saying too soon, sometimes it's, yeah, it's too soon for someone but it's okay for someone else.  I see black humor as spicy food. We all have our own scale for it. You can, you can eat spicy like a crazy mental person, and I can just taste it. And, you know, it's too harsh for me, and vice versa. So I did jokes about October 7, in November 7, and horrible ones, and it was also with the Holocaust. That's how horrible that was. So maybe it's too soon for the Holocaust. It's too soon for October 7. I said, the people that compare compared October 7 to the Holocaust. And I'm saying at least in the Holocaust, no one kidnapped Holocaust survivors. It's not even a funny, like, haha, funny. It's like, oh shit, yeah, yeah, that's the joke. It's not a joke of a punch line. It's a punch in your belly. Yeah. Manya Brachear Pashman:   What have been some of the most memorable moments from your shows, from your live shows, and I'm talking good and bad, have there been really positive responses and have there been really ugly? Yohay Sponder:   So let's just take this afternoon in Paris that I'm sitting in my hotel and Instagram and social media exploding from what's going on with the releasing of the Bibas babies. That we're getting back coffins, and I'm getting, I don't know, hundreds of messages from people that like we don't know if we're coming to the show. Two shows sold out in a huge theater in Paris. I'm not there every day. That's the show. That's it. One day since October 7, and no one knows when I'm going to come again. And my heart is broken, and people tell me we want to come but we can't. What do you think we should do?  Now, I responded to all of them, my wife and I responded to all of them, you do what you feel. I totally support your feelings. And the show is going to happen, and we get together tonight, and it's going to be a group hug, but if you can't make it, that's fine. I went on stage with an orange tie that I bought, and we talked it through. Arthur is the comedian and producer of those shows. He opened the show, he talked about the situation, and we did the shows. Now, that's the beauty of it, that's, that's the genome of the Jewish people. That's so in us to . . . . what we talked earlier about the Holocaust survivors that testify that they want to laugh, they want to have a good time. They don't want to let these terrorists decide for us what we gonna feel. Yeah, we feel bad. Yes, you're the worst people on the planet. I wish God will wipe you out, or IDF as fast as possible. You're a disgusting dirt of…but for us, for what we can do right now, we're gonna, we're gonna do our best to raise our morality and frequency. And I did the shows. I'm not gonna lie to you, I was very sad. But you know, the people that, that's what Bob Marley said after, he got shot, you know, and he did the show anyway, and he said, the people that want us to feel bad, they don't take a day off. So how could I? That's a very nice thing to say. Manya Brachear Pashman:   You had a show at City Winery where some people in the audience came with, maybe with intentions to protest, or at least they expected to disagree with you, and they met up with you after the show. And what happened? Yohay Sponder:   After my show, one of the presidents of the BDS organizations. She approached me and she said, we came to hassle the show. We came to ruin your show. So like, why you didn't do it? And she said we were waiting for the right moment, but the more the show went on, the more we liked what you said. You talk a lot about peace, you talk a lot about mutual values and how to solve problems, and you talk about the nice things of the Jewish tradition and the Jewish religion. We couldn't ruin that. We have conscience and we also liked you.  They liked the show. They wanted to ruin it, but they loved it, and they laughed. I told her, that's exactly what I do. In my stand up show, when you see that bit, it's with the whole structure of what happened there and how I almost made peace with these guys, but it didn't work out.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Maybe you need to do your stand up routine in Gaza and that would solve everything. Yohay Sponder:   I checked that. They don't have comedy clubs there. I said that when I hosted the show, we have an Arab comedian, a friend of ours. You know, people like they don't know that, but Arab-Israelis, are Palestinians. To their definition, to the Palestinians definition, it's the same thing, but they don't identify as Palestinians. It's like we're Muslims, we're Arabs. Anyway, they're with us. They're like siblings to us.  So when I introduced him, I also made fun of the situation. I said, When is going to be in Palestine? When it's going to be the Jewish comedian goes on stage like you going here and stuff like that, and there is no comedy clubs in Ramallah or in Gaza, but Inshallah, when there will I go and I do a spot. Manya Brachear Pashman:   How many of your shows, as you've been traveling around, have actually been canceled or moved or postponed. I read something about your Amsterdam show, for example, was moved to an undisclosed location because of security concerns. Has that happened elsewhere? Yohay Sponder:   Australia. And they tried to cancel my show in Brussels, didn't make it. They tried to cancel my show in Paris. They couldn't make it, but demonstrated outside. And every time that thing happened, I got a lot of press covers and interviews, and people get insane. And like, oh, we have to support and come to see the show. So every time it happens, I doubling or sometimes tripling the amount of people. Which is so weird, you know, because they're always the people they hate us. Always go, oh, Jews, money and you guys this, and you made me make more money. I didn't want to make that much money.  I want to make third of the amount of money. But because of your protesting. Your hate, that's how bad you are of what you do. And how amazing we are what we do. You know, I didn't want to make that much money, so now I hire them, the protesters. So they work for me.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   They do your marketing, generate publicity. So none of the shows have been successfully cancelled? Yohay Sponder:   No, the Amsterdam show canceled. The Boom Chicago, which also surprising. Your name is Boom Chicago. What's your security concerns. That's gonna be a boom. Let it be.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   But I thought it was moved.  Yohay Sponder:  We moved that like because they a week before the show, they said we're not doing the show. And was like, guys, let me respond. Let me say something. No, no. Police said that. We called the police. We have their numbers, you know, we call them. They say, No, we didn't talk to them. And then they wrote, we can help you find a Jewish venue. So I told him, we can help you find a Jewish lawyer. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So there was no show? Yohay Sponder:  Not in the Boom Chicago. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Got it. Yohay Sponder:  And I'll never go there. Manya Brachear Pashman:   And not in Amsterdam?  Yohay Sponder:  No, it was in Amsterville.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   Got it, okay. Amsterville, is that next to Amsterdam? Yohay Sponder:   Turns out, yeah, they didn't know that too. Was was a very nice theater, I think, three times' size of the Boom Chicago, and we had a great time. And I'll go there again. And it's not just the Boom Chicago, when we try to rebook it, a lot of other venues, more than 30 venues, didn't want to have me there.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   So is there anything else that I haven't asked you that you really want to share with our audience? Yohay Sponder:   Yeah. I mean, listen, I'm not sure that the audience is going to be 100% Jewish, right? So the message is going to be split for both. So I'll talk to them. So if you guys are Jews, I wanted to know that everything's going to be fine, and we got this, and raise your head, and we're good. We're going to be good. This is probably the last one. It's the last one. I think Messiah is coming, right? We're going to be fine, all right?  And if you're a non Jewish person watching it, you're an ally. So I want to thank you. We don't take it for granted. It's very important that you're around. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Sponder, thank you.  Yohay Sponder:   Thank you so much.

Live from Paradiso, Amsterdam

Three travelers, three eras, countless miles—and not one of them racing to a finish line. From Marco Polo's China, Benjamin of Tudela's regal Baghdad, to the Chida's street debates in Livorno and rejected snacks in Amsterdam, none sought fame or fortune. They gathered meaning, moment by moment. Because sometimes, the journey _is_ the destination.

Roy Villevoye is beeldend kunstenaar. Hij studeerde aan de Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam en ontwikkelde zich daar tot een succesvol schilder. Begin jaren ‘90 vond er een verandering plaats in zijn werk. Hij bezocht de Asmat, een volk in Nieuw-Guinea, en raakte door hen geïnspireerd. In plaats van schilderijen, besloot hij installaties, sculpturen, foto's en videowerk te maken. Vanaf dat moment speelt de uitwisseling tussen plekken, mensen en gebieden een prominente rol in zijn oeuvre. Zo maakte hij verschillende films over de Asmat en de Eerste Wereldoorlog, zoals ‘Winter Prayers' en ‘The Double'. Zijn werk is nu te zien in ‘Imaginable Lives' in Kunsthal KAdE. De tentoonstelling is een dubbelsolo met Mella Jaarsma, die ook werk tentoonstelt dat verbonden is aan de Indonesische archipel. Beide kunstenaars creëren dialogen tussen verschillende culturen en dagen de toeschouwer uit om kritisch te kijken naar hoe ‘de ander' wordt gedefinieerd en waargenomen. Ernst-Jan Pfauth gaat met Roy Villevoye in gesprek.

We have a very special bonus episode today…live from Amsterdam! We took Family Trips across the pond for a very special live episode at our old stomping grounds of Boom! Chicago in Amsterdam. Not only did we bring out some of our old friends to share hilarious travel stories on the stage, but we also spilled some of our own tales from exploring Amsterdam, past and present. You'll hear from some of our friends including Ike Barinholtz, Brendan Hunt, Andrew Moskos, Jill Benjamin, Peter Gross and of course everyone's favorite parents…Larry and Hilary Meyers! This live episode of Family Trips from Amsterdam was recorded in partnership with Airbnb. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
