An Icelandic Cruise Episode 63: Show Notes In mild protest against our usual summer holiday trend, Tom decided to go on a big trip, and today, we unpack everything he experienced on his Icelandic cruise aboard the Holland America Rotterdam. We begin with Tom's transatlantic flight in economy (the horror!) before learning about local transport options when traveling from Amsterdam to Rotterdam. Tom goes on to deliver an overview of the Holland America cruise line as we hear about the on-board food quality, housekeeping and safety protocols, how they live entertainment measures up against Royal Caribbean's benchmark, and everything you need to know about the Holland America casino. We also unpack multiple chance encounters Tom had with familiar faces, as well as his highlights from the ports and tourist attractions he visited. To end, Tom details his journey home on a low-cost carrier airline, and Trevor offers a sneak peek into his upcoming cruise on one of the Mediterranean's largest vessels.       Key Points From This Episode: [00:00] How Tom's summer trip began with a transatlantic flight in economy to Amsterdam.    [06:43] Getting to port: How he traveled from Amsterdam to Rotterdam.    [15:16] An overview of the Holland America Rotterdam.   [16:18] Food quality on board, how the main dining room works, and housekeeping protocols.  [20:18] How the live entertainment measures up against the Royal Caribbean benchmark.   [23:01] Chance encounters with familiar faces, sharing points and rewards, and gift cards.  [29:21] Highlights of the Holland America casino. [33:48] The ports and attractions Tom visited, starting with Norway and ending in Iceland.   [45:08] Departing from Keflavík International Airport on a low-cost carrier.  [48:40] Tom's final thoughts on Holland America, and a peek at Trevor's upcoming cruise.  Quotes: “For a six-hour flight across the Atlantic, the economy experience was not bad at all. It was very reasonable and pretty comfortable. Lately, all my transatlantic flights have been economy, one stop over the Atlantic, and they've been working out so far.” — @TktweetsKim [05:18] “The quality of food was very high, and we only did complimentary food; we didn't go to any specialty restaurants.” — @TktweetsKim [16:48] “One of the things that always separates a cruise experience from almost any other vacation experience [is] the ability to have a meal at the same time, with the same waiter, [and] at the same table. You get this feeling like you're a local by the second or third day.” — @tmount [17:51] “The live music was good, and if you're a music lover, you'll probably find something to enjoy. [However], if you're looking for an ice show or acrobatics or a Broadway musical, I don't think you're going to find it on Holland America.” — @TktweetsKim [21:58] “I'm so glad I didn't have to buy too much in Iceland because everything is expensive there.” — @TktweetsKim [42:21] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Holland America Rotterdam KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Winmatch365 Chase Sapphire Airport Lounges Hyatt Place Amsterdam Airport JetBlue Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast Princess Cruises Norwegian Fjords Cruises Celebrity Cruises Carnival Cruise Line Royal Caribbean Cruises Episode 33: Cruise Loyalty with Traveling Well for Less' Debra Schroeder Port of Rotterdam Ålesund City & Surroundings Akureyri, Iceland | Arctic Wonders on a European Cruise Mývatn Nature Baths Goðafoss Waterfall Ísafjörður, Iceland | Wild Westfjords on an Iceland Cruise Keflavík International Airport Icelandair WOW Air The Ritz-Carlton Thomas Kim on X Trevor Mountcastle on X The Milenomics Podcast Network

#502 Meet Coach Lauren Brown   Welcome Welcome to Episode #502 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. We're your hosts Coaches Rich Soares and April Spilde. Thanks for joining us for another week of news, coaching tips and discussion.   We are back after being away at USAT Nationals in Milwaukee and TriDot Pool School in Tempe, Arizona.   April, how was it coaching swimming on the Sun?   Rich, I might as well be walking on the sun, LOL! I remember I texted you and Coach La that I was living in Satan's butthole the past couple of days. I thought I was going to melt a couple of times. But seriously, even though it was hellfire hot, I had an incredible time and I can't wait to unpack that later in the show.   Show Sponsor: UCAN UCAN created LIVSTEADY as an alternative to sugar based nutrition products. LIVSTEADY was purposefully designed to work with your body, delivering long-lasting energy you can feel. Whether UCAN Energy Powders, Bars or Gels, LIVSTEADY's unique time-release profile allows your body to access energy consistently throughout the day, unlocking your natural ability to finish stronger and recover more quickly!   In Today's Show Announcements and News: Rich  Ask A Coach: Who is Coach Lauren Brown?

We had an improvement rate 15% across the board. Coach Dennis Hetland and I had the privilege of running Lane 3 – Aim High! – and we say remarkable results in both dropping stroke counts and smashing the 100-yard benchmark.   I want to give a special shout-out to Coach Gene Deyoe who was in my lane. Coach Gene dropped two strokes from his 25-yard distance, and 11 seconds off his 100-yard time! He had such a great attitude and always appreciated the feedback we gave. He was a joy to coach.   Second, we had Jay Camp, Coach Chad Rolf's athlete, in our lane and he was a hoot to work with! I especially enjoyed his dry sense of humor–very much like Coach Chad. He was also very receptive to feedback and his results showed how much work he put into his Functional Freestyle. He reduced his stroke count by 4 for 25 yards which is massive! Think about all that energy he will save because of his efficiency in the water! Get this, he shaved 29 seconds off his 100-yard benchmark. I was blown away by his improvements. He winked at me and told me not to tell his coach, which I promptly did LOL! Can't wait to hear how his new zones treat him after that incredible improvement.   Finally, the last thing I'll share is that even though it was hotter than hell on deck, we had some of the best lifeguards. They would come around every 20 minutes or so with buckets of cold water with rags that we could put on our heads and necks. It kept me from being a heat casualty for sure as the temps reached 114 degrees. So again, thank you to the McClintock Pool Lifeguards for coming in clutch last weekend! You made our pool school a huge success!    USAT Nationals Update: Milwaukee transformed into the epicenter of multisport excellence as it hosted the 2025 USA Triathlon Sprint and Olympic Distance National Championships. Thousands of amateur athletes from across the country descended on the city to compete, connect, and celebrate the sport we love. Race Highlights The action kicked off Friday with an open water swim in Lake Michigan, open to all registrants. Saturday brought the Olympic Distance National Championships, featuring a 1,500m swim, 40k bike, and 10k run. Athletes raced through Milwaukee's scenic lakefront, crossing the iconic Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge and finishing in Veterans Park [1]. Sunday was slated for the Sprint Distance Nationals and Paratriathlon Championships, but heavy overnight rain led to the cancellation of the sprint race for safety reasons [1]. Despite the disappointment, many athletes expressed gratitude for having raced earlier in the weekend. One athlete shared on Facebook: “Grateful I got to race yesterday. The stitches and bandaging got me through great. Heat, humidity, and wind were the factor yesterday, not the ankle wrap.” Yes, you heard that right—this athlete raced with stitches, tetanus, and antibiotics after a pre-race injury involving a bike and a hotel room. Talk about grit and determination! Celebration of Sport Gala & Hall of Fame Inductions Thursday night's Celebration of Sport Gala, hosted at Discovery World, was a moving tribute to the spirit of triathlon. The event honored the USA Triathlon Hall of Fame Class XIII, which included: Colleen Cannon – 1984 Nice World Champion and founder of Women's Quest. Graham Fraser – Race producer and visionary behind Ironman North America. Ellen Hart – 18-time World Age Group Champion and Ironman podium regular. Paul Martin – Paratriathlon legend and author who turned adversity into triumph. Kenny Souza – Duathlon pioneer and charismatic ambassador of the sport [2] [3]. Here's a breakdown of the 2025 USA Triathlon Hall of Fame inductees and their connections to Colorado: Colleen Cannon Lives in Boulder, Colorado. After retiring from professional racing, she founded Women's Quest, a Boulder-based adventure retreat company focused on empowering women through outdoor activities and wellness. She was inducted into the Boulder Sports Hall of Fame in 2017 [1]. Ellen Hart Lives in Niwot, Colorado, and previously served as First Lady of Denver during her marriage to former Denver Mayor Federico Peña. She is a longtime Colorado resident, Harvard graduate, and University of Colorado Law School alum. Hart has been a prominent figure in the Colorado endurance community and was inducted into the Colorado Running Hall of Fame [2]. Final Thoughts Milwaukee once again proved why it's a favorite host city for USA Triathlon. From the scenic course to the passionate community, the weekend was a celebration of perseverance, excellence, and camaraderie.

After years of competing in the figure and bodybuilding world, she found her way into multisport through duathlon in 2018 and transitioned to triathlon in 2019. She now races across sprint, Olympic, and 70.3 distances, with 70.3 being her favorite. Lauren is passionate about working with athletes of all backgrounds and experience levels, helping them navigate real-life challenges—like time constraints, fitness level, or self-doubt—to discover what they're truly capable of. As the Grit2Greatness Ambassador Program Manager, Lauren will lead the charge in building a vibrant community of athletes who proudly represent G2G—at races, on social media, and in everyday moments that matter. She's here to empower you, connect you, and help each of you feel even more supported on this journey. Lauren, we are beyond excited to have you on board Questions for Lauren: Two Truths and a LIe Icebreaker: I danced on stage with Brittney Spears, I once got lost on a training ride and ended up in a different state; Before being an endurance athlete, I competed as a pro with the International Federation of Body Builders Where did you grow up and where do you call home? Tell us about your athlete journey? Tell us about your coach journey? Your vision for the G2G ambassador program? When I think about the Grit2Greatness Ambassador Program, I picture a true community—one that builds on the incredible foundation we've already created, but keeps growing in depth, reach, and connection. In our world, every athlete has a seat at the table. Whether you're brand new to the sport or you've been racing for decades, whether you prefer the excitement of a sprint or the challenge of an IRONMAN, you belong here. This is a space where every athlete is encouraged to step in, be seen, and thrive. My biggest hope for this year is to welcome a wave of new athletes into triathlon—people who may have been curious, but unsure if they'd fit in—and show them that this sport is for everyone. And beyond racing, I want this to be a place where we support each other's growth both inside and outside of sport. I'd love for us to lead more community events, take part in races together, and deepen relationships with race directors and the brands that make our sport stronger. My heart tells me this program is just at the beginning of its potential, and I truly cannot wait to see what we create together. Get Gritty Tip: 66-Day Challenge! Rich, as you know, I am a huge fan of the book, The ONE Thing, by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan and one of the favorite lessons I learned is about the power of breaking down habits into bite size pieces that you can consistently sustain over time. I've actually crafted several keystone habits over the past five years through using the tools from The ONE Thing.  For example, I built the habit of setting aside my gym clothes every night before work. We have our habit of reading the Daily Stoic as a morning ritual, and now we share our 3 wins and 3 things we are grateful for each day. These habits have been critical for helping me make each day purpose-driven and intentionally meaningful. So that brings me to the habit I am now currently working on. I decided at the beginning of the year that I wanted to complete 10 unassisted pull-ups by the end of 2025. I was going strong for the first 3 months and kind of fell off with the start of race season. Well, after doing my mid-year reset I realized I needed to get back on the proverbial horse, and what better way to do that than a 66-day pull-up challenge! So why 66 days? If you've read The ONE Thing then you'll remember in Chapter #6 the discussion around a study the University College of London did on how long it takes on average to create a habit–66 days. So my challenge, because I know how important it is to start small, is to complete 1 pull per day for 66 days. Now, I do as many as I can and right now, I'm on Day 10 and I'm up to 4 unassisted pull-ups. I also use a band and knock out as many as I can with the assist to help me continue to progress. I'm also hoping I can start adding in weighted pull-ups as we get further down the road. The other part of the challenge is to post the evidence on social media which 1) keeps me accountable, and 2) inspires others to join me! I found out today that Coach Will Nichols, @coachironwill on Instagram, bought his own pull-up bar and started his 66-day pull-up challenge!  So I want to throw the challenge out there to you, Rich, and to our audience! It doesn't have to be pull-ups, but what's one thing you can commit to doing for 66 days that helps you on your athletic journey! I want you to share with us and tag me @getgrittywithme on Instagram so I can cheer you on just like Coach Will!   TriDot Workout of the Week: Orientation Swim   Open Water Swim is the Workout of the Week I've chosen for a couple of reasons. One, it is so helpful to get in the body of water you will be racing in and get a feel for swim start, current, temperature, lighting, sun direction, weeds, swim exit, which goggles work best,  etc.    In Milwaukee this was key. They had the course setup and we were able to swim the buoys through the bridge and practice the swim exit as it would be on race day. It also gave us the opportunity  to get comfortable with the high likelihood of the race not being wetsuit legal.I chose to do the practice swim in just my TriDot swim jammers.   Here's a full list of benefits: Course Familiarization Swim the actual course (or as much as allowed) to understand sighting landmarks, turns, and exit points. Identify key buoys: Start buoy, turn buoys, and finish buoy. Practice sighting using fixed landmarks (buildings, trees, flags) beyond the buoys. Note water entry and exit terrain: Is it sandy, rocky, slippery, or grassy? Environmental Awareness Assess water conditions: Temperature, current, chop, visibility. Practice breathing on both sides if waves or sun glare may affect one side. Check for wind direction and how it may affect swim navigation. Gear Check Test your race-day gear: Goggles (anti-fog), wetsuit, swim cap. Practice wetsuit entry and exit to simulate transitions. Try different goggles if visibility or sun glare is an issue. Mental Preparation Visualize race morning: From lining up at the start to exiting the water. Practice your start strategy: Deep water start, beach start, or time trial start. Swim with others to simulate race-day contact and drafting. Technique & Strategy Practice sighting rhythm: Every 6–10 strokes is typical. Work on pacing: Start controlled, build into race effort. Try drafting behind or beside another swimmer if allowed. Safety & Logistics Locate lifeguards or safety personnel and understand emergency protocols. Note the location of medical tents or aid stations near swim exit. Time your swim to understand how long it takes at race pace.   Fun Segment: Triathlon Hot Takes Debate! So I happened upon this article in Triathlete Magazine titled “7 Spicy-Hot Debates Triathletes Can't Stop Arguing” and I thought this would be a perfectly juicy topic of discussion for this week's fun segment! Your assignment is to convincingly argue your case in 20 seconds or less. Time to bring the heat! Are you Team Bare or Team Hair: Do you shave your body hair for triathlon or go au naturel? Which is harder: Training for an Ironman or training for a marathon PR? Flying dismount or unclipping, foot down? White Tri Suits? Yay or Nay? Sprint or jog into the finisher chute? Post every workout on social media, or no? Which is more impressive? Ironman World Champion or Olympic Champion? Well there you have it. We laid our opinions on the line and now it's your turn! We want to hear from you: are you team bare or team hair? Is training for a marathon PR harder than training for an Ironman? And what about white tri suits? Give us your opinions and we'll see who truly won the Triathlon Hot Takes Debate!   Closing:   Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed and enjoy the endurance journey!  

Send us a textIn the last couple of years, we have started checking off some bucket list cruises. Given that they are bucket list destinations, vessels, or both it is of little surprise that several of those bucket list check offs made it on to this list. And as we have a number of bucket list cruises in front of us, i suspect this list will evolve over time. Like later this year, our next cruise is a bucket list trip to the Panama Canal on Holland America Lines flagship, Rotterdam, and if what I have researched turns out to be the case I suspect it will crack our top ten. This is an absolutely subjective list, not just that it is our opinion only, but offered from the perspective of non-professional reviewers. We don't have a YouTube channel, so we don't go over ships anywhere near as comprehensively as many of those content creators. We just thought it would be fun to do. Exactly half of the top ten were before The Joy of Cruising Podcast was created, and the other half have been since the podcast, and thus we have done a reflections podcast for each of the five on the list that we have done since the podcast started two and-a-half years ago. So, you could check them out if you missed them.Paul's article about the AmaWaterways AmaKristina Soulful Experience cruise at Quirky Cruise https://quirkycruise.com/amawaterways-soulful-experience-cruise/ 1.     AmaWaterways, AmaKristina by Friends of Festival At Sea2.     Fire & Ice, Hawaii to Alaska to Vancouver on Norwegian Spirit 3.     Celebrity Beyond Mediterranean 4.     Soul Train Cruise on Holland America Line Nieuw Amsterdam5.     The Smooth Jazz Cruise on Celebrity Millenium6.     Explora Journeys, Explora I7.     Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady Transatlantic Cruise8.     Festival At Sea On Celebrity Equinox9.     Carnival Mardi Gras10.   Royal Caribbean Symphony of The Seas Do you have a dream car?Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

Tales of 5 A's and Rotterdam

Dominicaan Michael-Dominique Magielse sluit aan bij de lezing van de zondag uit het evangelie van Lucas, vers 35-40. Magielse is prior van de dominicanencommuniteit van Rotterdam en een van de presentatoren van het Geloofsgesprek van KRO-NCRV Volg of abonneer je op de Kloostercast in de app waar je nu naar luistert.  Meer informatie kun je vinden op kro-ncrv.nl/kloostercast.     

Internationaal is er felle kritiek op het plan van het Israëlische het kabinet om over te gaan tot de militaire bezetting van Gaza-stad.  Rotterdam werd het toneel van een protestmars tegen femicide. De mars werd georganiseerd door Dolle Mina, de vrouwenbeweging die een halve eeuw geleden actie voerde voor gelijkheid, emancipatie en rechtvaardigheid.  De slag van de dode mannen'; de veldslag bij een fort boven Warschau in Polen uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Daarbij zetten de Duitsers gifgas in tegen de Russische soldaten, die zich daartegen niet konden beschermen.  Deze zomer voeren in het Oog gesprekken over de traditionele muziek van verschillende landen. Hoe levend is die muziek nog? We zijn aanbeland in Italië.

We zijn terug. En hoe. Na een jaar lang sleuren, zo voelde het althans voor ons, hebben we met name Fockert nieuw leven ingeblazen. Stoppen, doorgaan, luisteren naar wat Vriends zegt en dat vervolgens doen. Het is allemaal maar lastig. Maar niet met ons nieuwe format. Het geeft energie. We gaan weer als een trein.Tijd om jullie bij te praten over onze zomer, over Barcelona, over vakjargon en over droomtransfers. We zijn er elke week op vrijdag en op dinsdag kunnen jullie af en toe een Vrij Spel verwachten. Wat dat is?

Op 16 mei 2025 opende in Rotterdam het Fenix Museum, het eerste kunstmuseum ter wereld dat migratie als centraal thema heeft. Het vertelt verhalen van landverhuizers tot hedendaagse migranten, met grote kunstwerken, historische objecten en het iconische trapkunstwerk de Tornado. Anne Kremers is sinds juni 2020 directeur van Fenix. Hoe kijkt zij terug op de eerste maanden sinds de opening? Presentatie: Carine van Santen

Ceo Sam Altman van OpenAI heeft een overeenkomst gesloten met de Amerikaanse General Services Administration (GSA) voor het gebruik van zijn chatbot binnen de overheid. Voor slechts 1 dollar mogen federale instanties die zijn opgenomen in de deal ChatGPT Enterprise gaan gebruiken, een aparte dienst speciaal voor organisaties. Rosanne Peters vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De overeenkomst komt een dag nadat OpenAI samen met concurrenten Google en Anthropic op de lijst staan met goedgekeurde AI-leveranciers voor de Amerikaanse overheid. President Trump gaf enkele weken geleden al aan dat hij meer AI-tools binnen de overheid wil integreren. Dat gebeurt via de Multiple Award Schedule, een nieuw federaal aanbestedingsplatform.

Amsterdam's one and only Deniro returns to the series with a two-hour treat spanning his fast-paced, hi-res techno headspace. Up with the cutting-edge wares and laser-focussed grooves, the TAPE Records co-founder and RYC alum has us drifting across hi-tech machine funk scapes and jagged analogue reliefs, constantly in search for the next mind-expanding thrill. Known for his impeccably chiselled signature cuts blending the finest of future-facing techno with an experimental-leaning approach to production, Deniro turns in a monster transmission, rife with the hypnotic hoodoo and typically entrancing buildups that've made him the surefire agent of techno he is today. A gigantic ride packed with climactic eargasms and unsuspected cliff-hangers. Lock in, zone out. 

Begin jaren ‘90 lijkt een seriemoordenaar actief te zijn in Rotterdam. De levenloze lichamen van de 45-jarige Berendina Stijger en de 22-jarige Francis Hofland worden op dezelfde manier aangetroffen: met messteken en een doorgesneden onderbroek, terwijl de bovenkant van hun lichamen is bedekt met theedoeken en kranten. Beide vrouwen waren dakloos, drugsverslaafd en werkten als prostituee op de tippelzone bij de G.J. de Jonghweg. En zij zijn niet de enige vermoorde sekswerkers. Nog drie andere vrouwen worden op vergelijkbare wijze dood aangetroffen. Toch krijgen de moorden op de sekswerkers weinig aandacht en wordt er geen dader opgepakt. Tot een coldcaseteam jaren later een nieuw onderzoek start. Een achtergelaten sigarettenpeuk en een slimme DNA-match leidde naar een verdachte: een verwarde man met een teruggetrokken bestaan. In het Oude Luxor Theater in Rotterdam vertelt rechter Jacco Janssen over de zaak waarin hij het oordeel velde. Ook aanwezig is Carina van Leeuwen, dé coldcase-expert van Nederland. Het vonnis: https://uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl/details?id=ECLI:NL:RBROT:2018:8603See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Expertly mixed and proper XTC-inducing, Stranger's mix vouches for the mad sound quality flowing in the veins of our beloved city. Reclaim.

De VVD won jarenlang verkiezingen met het imago van daadkracht, maar de werkelijke strategie was vaak: niets doen. Problemen niet oplossen om ze politiek te kunnen blijven uitspelen. In deze aflevering gaat Or Goldenberg in gesprek met journalist Kim van Keken over politieke framing, verkiezingsretoriek en de langetermijngevolgen van ‘niets doen' als beleid.Lees ook het artikel Toppers in wegwimpelen in De Groene Amsterdammer.Productie: Or GoldenbergSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While the headlines focus on control of the Panama Canal, there is another extremely important and strategic location which could change the course of trade dominance in the Western Hemisphere: on the Pacific Ocean side of South America, in Chile, lies CopiaPort-E, billed as the “Rotterdam of the Pacific." Todd Calllender, CEO of the Cotswold Group, which has set up a Memorandum of Understanding with Chinese Representatives to purchase equity and the rights to develop the Super Port project, is working with members of the Trump Administration to have the U.S. control and develop the deep-water port -- one the CCP wants as well. Callender talks with Dr. Corsi about CopisPortE, why its control is important and its potential to increase international trading dominance for the nation which owns the rights on Corsi Nation.Visit The Corsi Nation website: https://www.corsination.comIf you like what we are doing, please support our Sponsors:MyVitalC https://www.thetruthcentral.com/myvitalc-ess60-in-organic-olive-oil/Swiss America: https://www.swissamerica.com/offer/CorsiRMP.phpGet Dr. Corsi's new book, The Assassination of President John F.

‘On the road' van Jack Kerouac, de sprekende verhalen van Scott Fitzgerald, The A-Team en de veelheid aan Amerikaanse films en series: muzikant, schrijver en journalist Auke Hulst kon van kinds af aan geen genoeg krijgen van Amerika. Maar de jaren van Ronald Reagan liggen achter ons, het land is niet meer wat het ooit was: het land van vrijheid en onbegrensde mogelijkheden. De democratie staat onder druk en de idealen zijn vervaagd. Wat ooit liefde was, is een slopende en giftige relatie geworden. Het is tijd om af te kicken. Maar hoe?Hoe kun je in een toxische relatie zitten met een land? Hoe kick je af van de liefde voor een land die je decennialang gevoed heeft?Kees van den Bosch in gesprek met Auke Hulst over zijn relatie met Amerika en zijn poging om afscheid te nemen van een oude liefde die niet meer goed voor hem is.Lees het artikel in De Groene Amsterdammer deze week.Productie: Pleun Kraneveld en Kees van den Bosch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hester Knibbe is dichter. Ze debuteerde in 1982 met de bundel ‘Tussen gebaren en woorden'. Sindsdien publiceerde zij nog een tiental bundels, die onder andere werden bekroond met de Herman Gorterprijs, de Anna Blamanprijs en de Adriaan Roland Holstprijs. Daarnaast was Knibbe voorzitter van de Nederlandse afdeling van schrijversorganisatie ‘PEN', die zich inzet voor vrijheid van meningsuiting en samenwerking tussen schrijvers, en was ze in 2015 en 2016 stadsdichter van Rotterdam. In haar nieuwste bundel ‘Barcode van stilte' wil Knibbe vat krijgen op de fundamenten onder ons bestaan. In de bundel gaat ze op zoek naar de stilte. De stilte die je kunt ervaren in de marge van de samenleving, of juist in de hectiek ervan.  Femke van der Laan gaat met Hester Knibbe in gesprek.
