We are excited to announce our first podcast made in collaboration with Berlin Stories for NPR. Thanks so much to Berlin Stories founders, Anna Winger and Gisela Williams. For more, go to http://www.berlinstories.org In this podcast, we checked out the Dutch expat scene in Berlin. We wanted to know why they came to Berlin, because, let's be honest, there are some pretty cool cities in the Netherlands! We discovered that they came for many of the same reasons we did: affordable rents, the intriguing history, the promise of jobs, and of course, that certain Berlin vibe. We talked to Tim De Witt a freelance radio journalist, Janine de Haan a nurse in a senior's home, Edial Dekker the founder of online start-up Gidsy, and Mathieu Sneep head of EMEA Sales at SponsorPay. They talked to us about why they live in Berlin, how it differs from back home, and a little bit about bikes and cheese...

The answers ranged from a bottle of whiskey to the right friends, to having the right attitude. Take a listen, and let us know if you think something is missing from our list.

In our third episode we talked to Nikolaj Nyholm, a partner at Sunstone Capital in Copenhagen, Denmark. We wanted to talk to him as Sunstone had recently led a large investment into Gidsy.

Oh, and you need to listen in to hear what were some of the hot Nordic and Baltic companies they've passed, but have since then become successful.
