Eigentlich will BastiMasti nur nach Rotterdam, doch zwischen Besucherritze, Zugbekanntschaften und fremden Lebensgeschichten entwickelt sich die Reise zu einem unerwarteten Abenteuer. Währenddessen bereitet sich anredo auf seinen nächsten Inseltrip vor. Die bunten Europa-Wochen sind eröffnet: In den nächsten Wochen ist rundfunk 17 on Tour. Heute meldet sich BastiMasti direkt aus Rotterdam. Allerdings nicht von einer Messe oder aus einem hippen Café, sondern aus der berüchtigten Besucherritze seines Hotelbetts. Während anredo den nächsten Mallorca-Trip vorbereitet, entdeckt Basti Rotterdam auf seine ganz eigene Art. Dabei stößt er auf futuristische Architektur, seltsame Gebäude und eine kulinarische Innovation, die ihn nicht mehr loslässt: Essen aus dem Schrank. Schon die Anreise entwickelt sich zum Abenteuer. Im ICE fehlt die Sitzplatzreservierung. Plötzlich sitzt Basti zwischen Fußballfans, schreienden Kindern, gackernden Weibern und einem Mann im rosa Tütü, der nur noch als Zahnfee bekannt ist. Während eine Partie Kniffel gespielt wird, entstehen im Zug neue Freundschaften, alte Beziehungskrisen und Gespräche, die eigentlich niemand in einem voll besetzten Abteil führen sollte. Vor allem nicht über die Frage, wann zuletzt Seggs mit Eugen gemacht wurde. Außerdem sprechen anredo und BastiMasti über Verkehrsunfälle, Felgenprobleme, beinahe tödliche Autobahnmomente und die großen Reisepläne der kommenden Wochen. Eine deepe Folge voller Rotterdam, noch mehr Rotterdam und am Ende sogar ein bisschen Rotterdam. Nur die Besucherritze ist noch tiefer. Diese und alle anderen Episoden #rundfunk17 findet ihr unter anderem bei Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Deezer und als RSS-Feed.

I'm joined by my good friend Menno van Dyke, artistic director of Circusstad Festival in Rotterdam, for a conversation that starts with a recent circus trip to Stockholm and quickly turns into a masterclass on how audiences decide what to believe.We unpack a museum-style juggling show that uses archives, artifacts, and history to pull kids deeper into the craft and to give adults a new way to watch. From there we get honest about the downside of that same technique: skepticism. When the stakes look too high, some viewers assume it's all a story, which leads to a bigger question about showmanship, credibility, and why “real” physical skills sometimes need more proof than you'd expect.Then Menno takes us behind the scenes of contemporary circus festival programming and how Circusstad Festival Rotterdam helped build a stronger Dutch circus field by creating opportunities for graduates, inviting international companies, and producing new work like a gala night and a family freak show. We finish with the topic we can't stop nerding out about: the seven minute act. We talk structure, dramaturgy, and why short acts can be harder than full shows, plus how a personal circus video archive becomes a living library for anyone who wants to see what makes great acts endure.Subscribe, share this with a fellow circus lover, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.LINKS:You can find information about the Juggling Tango act here.You can see a filmed version of it here.And this is a link to the Circusstad festival where Menno is the artistic director.

At just 22 years of age, Jesse Moore is already rewriting the history books for Australian gymnastics.At the 2025 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta, Moore delivered the performance of his career, finishing 11th in the men's all-around final — the highest placing ever achieved by an Australian male gymnast at the World Championships. Twelve months earlier, at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Jesse stepped onto the sport's biggest stage and qualified for the all-around final against the very best gymnasts in the world. Competing with composure and confidence, he became the first Australian male gymnast since London 2012 to reach an Olympic all-around final, ultimately finishing 21st overall. For a country still emerging in the global gymnastics landscape, Moore's rise represents something bigger than individual success. It signals a new era for Australian men's artistic gymnastics.Now, with 2032 Summer Olympics on the horizon, the opportunity ahead is enormous.For Australian athletes, a home Olympic Games represents more than competition. It brings funding, exposure, belief, and the chance to inspire an entire generation. And for Jesse Moore, Brisbane 2032 is not simply a dream in the distance — it is a target.Already in the opening months of the 2026 World Cup season, Moore has continued building momentum, winning multiple medals internationally and proving he belongs among the sport's elite. His performances have showcased not only technical excellence, but also the resilience and maturity that define world-class athletes.This year, Jesse is chasing a top-10 finish at the World Championships in Rotterdam. Beyond that lies another major opportunity: the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, where he hopes to challenge the best gymnasts from across the Commonwealth and contend for medals on one of the biggest stages of his career.This is his story.

Politie in het buitenland ontdekt dat een frequent gebruiker van een kinderporno site op het dark web een Nederlands IP-adres gebruikt. Het onderzoek leidt naar een woning in Brabant, waar een 38-jarige man woont samen met zijn vrouw en dochtertje van 6 jaar oud.

De discussie over de huurmarkt draait steeds om dezelfde keuzes: lagere belastingen of hogere huren. Maar volgens Matthijs Koorevaar ligt het echte probleem veel dieper.In zijn column stelt hij dat de Wet Betaalbare Huur niet meer te ‘optimaliseren’ valt, omdat het hele puntenstelsel politiek is geworden. Met voorbeelden van energielabels, WOZ-waardes en sociale huur laat hij zien waarom huurprijzen volgens hem nauwelijks nog iets zeggen over de kwaliteit van woningen. Hij stelt ook een alternatief voor: een systeem gebaseerd op daadwerkelijke marktprijzen, zoals in Brussel al bestaat. Matthijs Korevaar werkt als universitair docent Finance aan Erasmus School of Economics in Rotterdam. Hij publiceert regelmatig over de woningmarkt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Het was do-or-die voor onze TeamNL Handbalmannen in het tweeluik tegen de Grieken voor een WK-ticket. Helaas was het geen herhaling van twee jaar geleden, toen we ons ten koste van de Grieken wisten te plaatsen. Afgelopen woensdag was het resultaat in de heenwedstrijd in Griekenland weliswaar beter dan destijds, maar zondag vonden onze Oranjemannen hun Waterloo in Rotterdam door in eigen huis met ruime cijfers te verliezen. We blikten erop terug met Raymond Koning, handbalcommentator bij onder meer Ziggo Sport. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

Disclaimer: Due to a studio change and some equipment issues, the audio quality in this episode isn't what you're used to from Heart of Man. My team has done the best with what we had. I can however say with absolute confidence, the conversation itself was worth every minute. I hope you feel the same.Gil 'the Grid' Gomes Leal is the founder and artistic director of the Amenti dance collective and creator of the Amenti MoveMeant method. As a choreographer, performer, and movement teacher drawing from hip hop, African embodiment, Jungian psychology, and shadow work, Gil now incorporates movement as a form of medicine, connecting others to the inherent wisdom of their body.Gil grew up inside a Jehovah's Witness household in Rotterdam, where the joy, freedom, and expression he found through dance became a direct threat to his sense of belonging... It was within those early years of tension between attachment and his authentic expression that the foundation of everything he now teaches was laid...Through workshops, immersions, and trainings, Gil works alongside the Amenti collective with individuals to access their innate intelligence, guiding them towards deeper empowerment and healing of incomplete past experiences.I attended one of Amenti's workshops in Bali last year and was struck, as a somatic practitioner myself, by the potent places I got to access through this movement method.At the core of this conversation is a question Gil and I keep returning to: how can we move through experiences where we may have been legitimately victimized, and come into a felt embodiment of our agency and power, which I would argue is our birthright. We explore how this can be reclaimed through movement, shadow work, and the willingness to stop identifying as a victim of our story and start taking responsibility for it.In this episode, find out:How Gil's childhood within the Jehovah's Witnesses shaped himThe value of the pain teacher, and what it teachesWhy authenticity requires the willingness to lose people, and the cost of choosing attachment over truthThe link between unresolved trauma and powerlessness, and how the body can become the access towards agencyThe difference between being victimized by an event and adopting the victim identity as a way of lifeWhy anger is such a foundational emotion to work with, and the wisdom it carriesWhy fundamental safety can never be a given, and why the focus according to Gil is about creating brave spaces rather than safe onesI loved this conversation with Gil, and admire the way he was fuelled by his own pain, making incredible art out of it that individuals worldwide now get to benefit from.This episode is for anyone who has spent years feeling like life is happening to them, and is ready to step into the truth that it no longer has to.—Connect with Alex Lehmann:

In 2025, at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia, Kameron Nelson announced himself on the world stage. Competing in his first major championships for Team USA, Nelson qualified for the floor exercise final and narrowly missed the medal podium, finishing an impressive fourth against the world's best.His rise to international gymnastics had been anything but conventional.Nelson joined the Ohio State Buckeyes gymnastics team in 2021 as a walk-on athlete, determined to prove he belonged among the NCAA elite. Over the course of his collegiate career, he developed into one of the most exciting floor exercise performers in the country, capturing multiple NCAA medals on the event. In 2025, he reached another milestone by claiming the NCAA National Championship title on vault.Building on that momentum, Nelson opened the 2026 international season with another breakthrough performance, earning the bronze medal on still rings at the Cottbus World Cup in Germany.Now training at the EVO Gymnastics Centre alongside some of America's most accomplished gymnasts — current World Champion Brody Malone, World medalist Donnell Whittenburg, and Olympic medalist Stephen Nedoroscik — Nelson continues to push the boundaries of the sport.He made gymnastics history by becoming the first artistic gymnast ever to compete two triple back somersaults in the same floor exercise routine, cementing his reputation as one of the sport's boldest innovators.With the LA 2028 Olympic Games on the horizon, Nelson has firmly set his sights on earning a place on the U.S. team that will begin Olympic qualification this autumn at the World Championships in Rotterdam.This is Kameron Nelson's story.

Over the course of 175 years, this architectural gem has not only stood as a bastion of maritime heritage but has also facilitated a myriad of social interactions, decision-making processes, and community bonding. I, Erik Pekel, engage in a profound dialogue with architect René Freiters, who has played a pivotal role in the significant restoration of this historic edifice located at Veerdam 1. Through our conversation, we delve into the intricacies of the building's architectural features, the implications of its status as a national monument, and the challenges encountered during its meticulous restoration to ensure that it remains a vibrant venue for contemporary use while honoring its storied past.

During my conversation with architect René Freiters, we traverse the rich history of this architectural gem, which has not only served as a venue for rowing and sailing but has also functioned as a critical nexus for decision-making and social interaction among the city's notable citizens. Freiters recounts his first encounter with the building, emphasizing the architectural qualities that captivated him and the profound sense of history that permeates its halls. We delve into the significance of the Sociëteit as a monument to resilience, particularly in light of the destruction faced by Rotterdam during World War II, which starkly contrasts with the survival of this remarkable structure. As our dialogue unfolds, we examine the extensive restoration efforts undertaken to preserve the Sociëteit's unique character while ensuring its relevance in the modern era. Freiters articulates the challenges faced during these renovations, including compliance with heritage conservation standards and the complexities involved in integrating contemporary infrastructure within a historical framework.

In conclusion, our discourse encapsulates the essence of the Sociëteit as a living testament to Rotterdam's heritage, inviting listeners to contemplate the responsibilities associated with preserving such cultural landmarks. Freiters emphasizes that the ongoing stewardship of the Sociëteit is not merely about maintaining a building; it is about nurturing a community and fostering connections that transcend generations.

At ten, Gil Penalosa tried to convince his parents to let him quit school and turn pro. He was ranked second in tennis in Colombia. The catch: 99% of tennis in Colombia was played in private clubs — and Gil's family wasn't a member of any. He played on a public park court across from his house, and routinely beat the wealthy kids on their own courts.You can see the rest of the life unfolding from there. Former Parks Commissioner of Bogotá, where he helped build more than 1,000 new parks and grew the Cyclovía program from 17 km to 130 km — now adopted in 350+ cities worldwide. Founder of 8 80 Cities. Two-term chair of World Urban Parks. Runner-up in the 2022 Toronto mayoral race after entering 100 days out and pulling 100,000 votes against an entrenched political establishment.In this episode — recorded in person at the Toronto Botanical Gardens during the Urban Ravine Summit, where I'd just delivered the opening keynote — Gil and I dig into what cities already know how to do, and the courage most are missing to actually do it. We talk about why public engagement is broken in most cities, and what real listening looks like (hint: it involves pizza, juice, and a school at 3 p.m.). Why tree canopy averages mask brutal equity gaps — and the unprecedented redistribution Gil would push for if he were mayor. Why walking is the most underrated urban idea on Earth, and why "becoming a bicycle city" is the most overrated. And why elections, more than any master plan, are what actually change cities.We also talk about the dying Cyclovía he inherited as commissioner and grew tenfold; Janette Sadik-Khan's pedestrianization of Times Square; Anne Hidalgo's car-free schoolyards in Paris (350 and counting); the Texas border towns where every public school is locked at 4 p.m. while one in three children doesn't have a park within walking distance; what Tirana, Malmö, and Rotterdam are doing that more famous cities aren't; and the simple thing Gil does mid-run when his heart rate hits 145 — which I have since tried, and which works.Plus the line I haven't been able to stop replaying since we sat down: "Engagement shouldn't be tokenism. It should be real listening."Find Gil at gpenalosa.ca and 880cities.org. Sign up for his free Cities for Everyone webinar series — every other Tuesday at 11 a.m. ET.

Het moest de kers zijn op de grootse carriere-taart van entrepreneur par excellence, Hennie van der Most; Rivoli. Een attractiepark aan de Maas in Rotterdam. En na het succesvol ombouwen van een ziekenhuis, een watertoren en een ongebruikte kerncentrale was het in Rotterdam tijd om aan de slag te gaan met een voormalige vuilverbrander. Aan enthousiasme geen gebrek, maar door tal van andere oorzaken lukt het maar niet om het park te openen. Het drama dat zich heeft afgespeeld aan de Maas in Rotterdam en in het onstuimige leven van Hennie is gefilmd door documentaire-maker Max Ploeg.

This episode kicks off our collaborative mini-series with Dance or Die on hardcore and what better way to start the whole thing than by talking to Holly Dicker aka Holly Dee. Holly is a music journalist and raver who has devoted over a decade to covering the history of hardcore while working for places like Resident Advisor, Boiler Room, Tresor and PRSPCT Records. Then she spent four years of blood, sweat and tears writing Dance or Die, a book that traces the history and evolution of hardcore electronic music. Holly and I talk about her formative experiences from renegade UK drum 'n' bass bunker raves to free tekno parties, breakcore squats and Dutch gabber mega-raves. We also discuss the cornerstones of hardcore, compare notes as rave journalists, discuss changing visual and surveillance culture and explore current women-led, queer and inclusive hardcore movements.

De Verenigde Staten kondigden deze week nog ‘Project Freedom’ aan, een operatie om schepen veilig door de cruciale zeestraat te begeleiden. Maar nog geen twee dagen later werd dat plan alweer gepauzeerd. Tegelijkertijd klinken er juist signalen dat Washington en Teheran dichter bij een akkoord zijn dan ooit. Terwijl de geopolitieke onzekerheid voortduurt, is er ook aandacht in de Verenigde Staten voor de binnenlandse politiek. Met de midterms in aantocht laten zowel Republikeinen als Democraten in voorverkiezingen en bij het hertekenen van kiesdistricten zien dat ze vertrouwen hebben in hun kansen. En Jan sprak een man met een bijzonder verhaal. De laatst levende Engelandvaarder. De inmiddels 102-jarige Diederik van Overbeek ontsnapte in de Tweede Wereldoorlog uit Rotterdam om vanuit Engeland mee te vechten. Na de oorlog is hij gaan wonen in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Over de makers Bernard Hammelburg is buitenlandcommentator en columnist voor BNR Nieuwsradio en het FD, en presentator van BNR De Wereld. Als oorlogsverslaggever was hij o.a. ooggetuige van de Culturele Revolutie in China, de revolutie in Iran en de oorlogen in Vietnam, het Midden-Oosten en Afghanistan. Hij was twintig jaar correspondent in de VS. Hij verdeelt zijn tijd tussen zijn woonplaatsen Amsterdam en New York. Jan Postma is Amerikanist en werkt sinds 2009 waar hij meerdere programma's gepresenteerde waaronder BNR Bouwmeesters, Boekenstijn&de Wijk en Zakendoen. Sinds 2018 is hij correspondent in de Verenigde Staten, woonachtig in Washington D.C. Naast de Amerika Podcast maakt hij onder meer Postma in Amerika en is hij regelmatig te horen in de Ochtend‑ en Avondspits. Hij is tevens auteur van het boek De Trump Fluisteraars.

A staple component of Marcel Dettmann's MDR imprint and Berghain's Ostgut Ton, German legend Norman Nodge clocks in this week with a killer two-hour deluge of Indus-oriented barrage fire. Known for his laser-precise mixing and lethal selections, Nodge cuts a path of absolute dance floor devastation, pushing back the boundaries of techno as we know it through streams of gravity-defying rhythmic assault and leftfield-informed abstraction. The result is a torrential outpour of powerhouse machine funk, no-surrender techno brutalism and fiery analogue thunder. Dive into an orgiastic smorgasbord of ruthless uptempo churn, surgical technique and immersive cerebrality. Sleek, propulsive ride all the way, y'all aren't ready for this one. Enjoy! 

Martijn van Leerdam is predikant-directeur bij de Pauluskerk. Een kerk in het centrum van Rotterdam, waar daklozen iedere dag terechtkunnen voor warm eten, gezelligheid en hulp. Bij de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen kwam de kerk middenin de campagnestorm terecht. De VVD wilde 'm verplaatsen, Leefbaar zelfs sluiten. Maar zo ver kwam het niet: de bitterbal, zoals ie ook wel wordt genoemd, blijft op z'n centrale plek in de stad. In Rotterdam slapen steeds meer mensen op straat. Welke rol vervult de kerk in de stad?  Martijn van Leerdam is de vierde gast in een De Dag-interviewreeks deze week, met mensen die ons zijn opgevallen in het nieuws.  Reageren?

Milou van der Kolk is zedenrechercheur in het team Seksuele Misdrijven van de politie Rotterdam. Met dat team spoorde zij de 22-jarige hoofdverdachte op van een grote sextortionzaak die deze maand startte. Ze is de tweede gast in een reeks interviews deze week met mensen die ons zijn opgevallen in het nieuws. Sextortion is online afpersing met naaktbeelden en het kan gruwelijke vormen aannemen. Het aantal zaken neemt volgens betrokken instanties in schrikbarend tempo toe, ook internationaal.  Milou van der Kolk vertelt in de podcast hoe zij sextortion-beelden bekijkt en analyseert om zowel daders als slachtoffers op te sporen. 'We merken dat de beelden steeds grover en gewelddadiger worden,' zegt ze. En dat gaat ook rechercheurs niet in de koude kleren zitten.  Wil je een melding maken over sextortion, dan kan dat hier: www.politie.nl/help2tell  Reageren?

In deze zesde aflevering van ‘Boegbeelden & Bliktrekkers' staat de ultieme vrijheid van het zeezeilen centraal. Presentator Erik Peekel gaat in gesprek met zeezeilers Aad en Hella Twigt, die samen meer dan 200.000 zeemijlen aflegden en grote delen van de wereldzeeën bevoeren.Van hun eerste reis in 1974 zonder moderne communicatie tot het ronden van Kaap Hoorn met hun jonge dochters aan boord. Een gesprek over de ultieme vrijheid van de zee, de noodzakelijke discipline aan boord en de bijzondere opvoeding van hun kinderen op de oceaan.In deze aflevering hoor je over:De sprong in het diepe: Waarom Aad en Hella in 1974 alles achterlieten om met de Aldebaran de Atlantische Oceaan over te steken.Gezinsleven op de oceaan: Hoe Agnita en Alies opgroeiden als 'zeezigeuners' en de prestigieuze Daughters of Cape Horn Trophy wonnen.De psychologie van de lange reis: Wat is het geheim om jarenlang op een kleine oppervlakte de vrede te bewaren en stress te voorkomen?Een inspirerende aflevering over zeezeilen, wereldreizen, oceaanzeilen, gezinsleven aan boord en de tijdloze aantrekkingskracht van de zee.Podcastmaker Rik BoumanThe core of this podcast episode revolves around a compelling narrative of adventure, resilience, and the pursuit of freedom, as experienced by Aad and Hella Twicht, who have collectively navigated over 200,000 nautical miles. Their journey encompasses the crossing of oceans and the profound challenges faced while rounding Cape Horn with their young daughters aboard, a testament to their unwavering spirit and dedication to exploration. Throughout the conversation, we delve into their initial decision to abandon conventional life for the vast unknown of the seas, highlighting the pivotal moments that shaped their path and the reactions of those around them. The episode further explores the intricacies of family life on a sailboat, the lessons learned from both triumphs and tribulations, and the impact of their adventurous lifestyle on their daughters. Ultimately, their story serves as an inspiring reminder that the pursuit of one's dreams, despite the inevitable uncertainties, can yield a life rich in experiences and profound connections.Situated in the heart of Rotterdam, the Royal Rowing and Sailing Association de Maas stands as a venerable institution, bridging the city and its waterways for over 175 years. In this enlightening dialogue, I engage with Aad and Hella Twicht, two seasoned sailors who have traversed more than 200,000 nautical miles, including the formidable Cape Horn, while accompanied by their daughters. Their narratives not only recount epic voyages but also delve into the profound transformations that sailing has instigated in their lives, fundamentally altering their perspectives on freedom, adventure, and familial bonds. A poignant aspect of their sailing odyssey is the evolution of their family dynamics, particularly as they embarked on a second, more ambitious journey in 1986 with their children. This familial expedition not only entailed navigating treacherous waters but also necessitated a re-evaluation of their educational approaches, as Hella took on the mantle of educator amidst the vastness of the sea. The children grew up learning the value of teamwork and adaptability, a testament to the unique upbringing afforded by their maritime lifestyle. Through trials and triumphs, the Twichts' story encapsulates the essence of pursuing one's dreams, underscoring that the pursuit of adventure is often fraught with uncertainty yet immensely rewarding.Takeaways:The Royal Rowing and Sailing Society de Maas, located in the heart of Rotterdam, serves as a remarkable symbol of the city's connection to water, enduring for 175 years.Aad and Hella Twicht have navigated over 200,000 nautical miles, demonstrating exceptional resilience and adventurous spirit with their daughters aboard diverse voyages.The decision to embark on a significant sailing journey arose from a desire for freedom and exploration, leading them to leave conventional life behind.Their initial voyage was fraught with challenges, including navigating without modern technology, highlighting the complexity of maritime adventures in the past.The couple's journey towards Cape Horn highlights their determination and the unpredictability of ocean travel, showcasing the interplay between preparation and spontaneity.The impact of climate change on their sailing experiences reflects a broader environmental concern, as they note changes in wind patterns and storm frequency over the decades.

Welcome back to It Was What It Was the football history podcast. In today's episode, co-hosts Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper bring this Graham Taylor series to a close with the Oslo qualifier that defined his reign: a chaotic, tactically muddled 2–0 loss to Norway at the peak of their ‘golden age', captured in painful detail by The Impossible Job. Unpacking Taylor's mounting stress, tabloid caricature and “no‑win” selection calls—especially the dilemma of persisting with an undercooked Paul Gascoigne—before explaining how the back-three plan collapsed, England's structure unravelled, and Norway's alertness (including a quick free kick) punished them. The episode breaks down England's chaotic structure, Norway's tactical calm under Egil “Drillo” Olsen, and Taylor's famous touchline outbursts, before tracing the fallout: “Norse Manure” headlines, concerns the players had stopped responding, and a demoralising US tour. England briefly revive by beating Poland, but lose in Rotterdam and, despite winning 7–1 in San Marino after conceding almost instantly, miss out as the Netherlands win in Poland. They assess Taylor's broader legacy, his misfortune with timing and player form, and his later rehabilitation at Watford.01:51 Norway's Golden Generation04:51 Tabloid Mockery Era06:11 Psychology and Pressure08:18 The Gaza Fitness Dilemma18:30 Paranoia and Tactical Switch22:50 System Collapse in Oslo25:57 Quick Free Kick Nightmare29:41 Norway Strike Again30:32 Tabloid Backlash32:07 Tactics And Trust35:18 Bigger Picture Failings42:56 USA Tour Fallout43:49 Last Chance Qualifiers45:36 San Marino Shock48:28 Reassessing the Taylor Legacy Hosted on Acast.

Op 28 juli 2021 verdwijnt een 29-jarige man uit Zwijndrecht. De man blijkt onder valse voorwendselen te zijn gelokt naar een woning in Rotterdam. Daar is hij bedreigd, geboeid en vervolgens gemarteld. Een aantal dagen later wordt het lichaam van de man gevonden in de kofferbak van een auto. De man is met 19 messteken om het leven gebracht, en zijn lichaam is vervolgens in stukken gesneden, in plastic verpakt en in twee grote koffers uit de woning verplaatst. Voor de gruwelijke moord worden in totaal vijf verdachten aangehouden en vervolgd. Advocaat Joris Kersemaekers stond één van de verdachten bij en vertelt over de strafzaak.

Mick Fox (2:19 marathoner) and Matt Fox (2:18 marathoner) return with another episode of the Fastest Fox series. They cover the current marathon period with Rotterdam complete and Boston and London just ahead, before moving into debates around race weather, hydration policy, shoe technology, underrated running creators, and where the sport is heading. Train with Matt Fox here: https://sweatelitecoaching.com/matt-fox/ Join the Supporters Club and private podcast feed here: https://www.sweatelite.co/shareholders/ Contact Matt Fox here: matt@sweatelite.co Matt Fox Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattinglisfox/ Matt Fox Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/6248359 Mick Fox Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningfox26.2/ Mick Fox Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/9571709/ Mick Fox and Matt open the episode by looking at the heart of marathon season, with Rotterdam just completed and both Boston and London coming up next. They discuss how different forecasts can shape not only race-day execution but also the appeal of one event over another, noting that Boston looks relatively cool while London may be much warmer. That leads into a broader reflection on how unpredictable weather remains one of the biggest variables in marathon racing. The conversation then shifts to the Paris Marathon and its controversial trial of removing cups at aid stations. Mick and Matt question whether the policy, while environmentally motivated, creates unnecessary inconvenience and potential risk for runners trying to hydrate properly during a marathon. They also discuss Paris winner "Cripp," and use the race to make a wider point that events outside the Abbott World Marathon Majors can still offer fields, atmosphere, and performances that rival the biggest races in the sport. From there, they explore what really makes a marathon feel "major," including the influence Abbott has had in shaping perception and expansion. They also touch on some of the most popular European races for fast times, especially from an Irish perspective, with Valencia, Seville, Dublin, and Frankfurt all mentioned as strong options depending on goals, timing, and conditions. The episode also includes discussion around Rotterdam's 2:03 to 2:04 winning standard and whether modern marathon performances are being driven primarily by shoe advancements. Mick and Matt acknowledge that training, depth, and professionalism all matter, but argue that shoe technology has clearly played a major role in lifting the level of the event and the sport more broadly. Matt then shares updates from China, where he is researching a shoe brand referred to as "QD," while also thinking through broader ideas around business, running culture, and product access. That includes discussion of a paid group-run app, the possibility of an online shoe store, and what it might look like to help people access performance footwear that is less visible in Western markets. Later in the episode, the discussion becomes more personal, moving into the tension between travel and family life, the way sleep and routine are affected by constant movement, and the wider shift on social media toward short-form content. Mick and Matt also spotlight underrated running creators including Dan Nash, Ryan Creech, and Caroline Hassett, before briefly debating Josh Kerr's mile world record ambitions and whether he could eventually be a serious marathoner. They wrap up by pointing listeners toward the private podcast and deeper training discussion.

Three weeks ago, we were having this conversation; a conversation that was a little bit alarming about the scale of the disruption of the oil market with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and how that could have ripple effects through the global economy. Three weeks later, oil is still not flowing. What is happening? And what has maybe surprised you? Or been in line with expectations over the last couple of weeks? Martijn Rats: Yeah. Many things have been in line with expectations, in the sense that we're seeing the effects of the closure of the strait the earliest in regions that are physically the closest to the strait. So, we saw the first examples of physical shortages in, say, the west coast of India. Then we saw examples from the east coast of India From there on it's reverberated throughout Asia, where now governments have announced a whole host of. Effectively, energy demand, uh, management measures, uh, work from home, kids staying at home from school, um, cancellation of flights. There are quite many through, through Asia Also in Asia, we're seeing the type of prices that you would expect with this situation. Bunker fuel for shipping, somewhere between $150 to $200 a barrel. Jet fuel over $200 a barrel. Naphta going into Japan; naphta normally trades well below the headline price of Brent. Now $130 a barrel, that's more than double what it was in February. So, those things tell the story of this historic event. What has been surprising on the other end is how slow the reaction has been in many of the oil prices that we track the most. Like… Andrew Sheets: The numbers people will see on the news. You know, it's $100 a barrel maybe as we're talking. Martijn Rats: Yeah. It's strange to see jet fuel cargoes in Rotterdam more than $200 a barrel, but then the front month Brent future only trading at [$]100. That spread is historically wide and very surprising. But look, there are some reasons for it. The crude market had more buffers. There are a few other things. But how slow Brent futures have rallied? That has been somewhat surprising. Andrew Sheets: But you know, from those other prices you mentioned, those prices in Asia, those prices in Rotterdam that are maybe higher than the numbers that people might see on the news or on a financial website. Is it fair to say that in your mind that's sending a signal that this is a market that really is being affected by this? And being affected maybe in a larger way than the headline oil price might suggest? Martijn Rats: Oh, clearly. Look, the oil market is full with small price signals that tell the story of the underlying plumbing of the oil market. So, you can look at price differential. So, physically delivered cargoes versus financially traded futures. West African oil versus North Sea oil. Brazilian oil versus North Sea oil. Oil for immediate physical delivery versus the futures contract that trades a month out. And many of those spreads have rallied to all time highs. That is no exaggeration. And so, in an underlying sense, the stress in the market is clearly there. It is just that in front of Brent futures, which is the world's preferred speculative instrument to express a financial view on oil. Yeah, there the impact has been slower to come. But you're now seeing a lot of Asian refineries bidding for crudes that are further away in the Atlantic basin. So, demand is spreading to further away regions. And that should over time still put upward pressure on Brent. Andrew Sheets: In our first conversation, you know, you had this great walkthrough of both just putting the scale of this disruption in the Strait of Hormuz into the global context. How many barrels we're talking about, how that's a share of the global market. Maybe just might be helpful to revisit those numbers again. And also, some of the mitigation factors. You know, we talked about – well maybe we could release reserves, maybe some pipelines could be rerouted. Based on what you're currently seeing on the ground, what is this disruption looking like? Martijn Rats: Yeah, so to put things in context, global oil consumption is a bit more than 100 million barrels a day. That number lives in a lot of people's heads. But if you look at the market that is critical for price formation, that's really the seaborne market. You can imagine that if, say you're in China, and you have a shortage. But there is a pipeline from Canada into the United States – that pipeline's not really going to help you. What you need is a cargo that can be delivered to a port in Shanghai. So, the seaborne market is where prices are formed. That is roughly a 60 million barrel a day market, of which 20 million barrels a day flows through the Strait of Hormuz. So, for the relative market, the Strait of Hormuz is about a third. It's very, very large. Now, out of that 20 million barrel a day that is, in principle, in scope, there is still a little bit of Iranian oil flowing through. That continues. They let their own cargo through. Then Saudi Arabia has the East-West pipeline. They can divert some oil from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea. That's about 4 million barrels a day, incremental on top of the flow that already exist on that pipeline. The UAE has a pipeline that can divert half a million barrel a day. But you are still left with a problem that is in the order of 14-ish million barrels a day. You're going to have some SPR releases to offset that a little bit. But global SPRs can flow maybe 1 to 2 million barrels a day. You're very quickly left with a double digit shortage – and that is historically large… Andrew Sheets: And just to take it to history, I mean, again, if we were placing a 14 million barrel a day disruption in the context of some of these historical oil disruptions that people might have a memory of – what is the relative scale? Martijn Rats: Yeah. This is at the heart of why this is such a difficult period to manage. Like, normally we care about imbalances of 0.5 to 1 million. That gets interesting for oil analysts. At a million, you can expect prices to move. If you have dislocations in supply and amount of, say, 2 to 3 million barrels a day, you have historically epic moves that we talk about for decades, literally. Like in 2008, oil fell from $130 a barrel to [$]30 on the basis of two to three quarters of 2 million barrel a day oversupply. In 2022, around the Ukraine invasion, oil went from 60-70 bucks to something like [$]130 at the peak on the basis of the expectation, but not realized. This was just an expectation that Russia would lose 3 million barrels a day of productive capacity. And so, 2 to 3 million barrels a day normally already gets us to these outsized moves. And so, this event is four, five times larger than that. That means we don't have historical reference for what's currently happening. Andrew Sheets: I guess I'd like to now focus on the future and maybe I'll ask you to summarize two highly complex scenarios in a[n] overly simplified way. But let's say tonight we get an announcement that hostilities have ceased, that the strait is open, that oil can flow again. Or a second scenario where it's another three weeks from now, we're having this conversation again, and the strait is still closed. Could you just kind of help listeners understand what the energy market could look like under each of those scenarios? Martijn Rats: Yeah. So maybe to start off with the latter one. Because from an analytical perspective, that one is perhaps a bit easier. Look, if the Strait stays closed, at some point, consumption needs to decline. Andrew Sheets: Significantly. Martijn Rats: Yeah, significantly. We need demand destruction. Now that's easier said than done. Who gets to consume in those type of environments – are those who are willing to pay the most. And that means that certain consumers need to be priced out of the market. We tried to answer this question in 2022, and the collective answer that we all came up with is that you need prices for Brent – in money of the day – $150 or something thereabouts. That is not an exaggeration. Now, let's all hope we can avoid that scenario because that is… You know, that looks like a spectacular price. But that is not a beneficial scenario for anybody in the economy.The other scenario is more interesting, and it can actually be split in sort of two sub scenarios… Andrew Sheets: And this is the scenario where actually stuff starts flowing tomorrow. Martijn Rats: Exactly, exactly. If it completely flows like it always did – sure, we go back to the situation we had before these events. Brent can fall substantially – 70 bucks. Before these events we thought the oil market would be oversupplied. Who knows? True freedom of navigation may be even lower. But, at the moment, that doesn't quite look like that will be the scenario that's in front of us. What seems to be emerging is an outcome whereby this could deescalate but leave the Iranian regime structurally in control of the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. And if the Iranian regime continues to manage the flow as they currently do – cargo by cargo. Because there are some cargoes trickling out and there is a process that seems to be established for it. There seems to be a toll that seems to be paid. And if it remains that sort of relatively heavy handed -- This cargo goes, that cargo doesn't. Given that that will then manage 20 percent of global oil supply, that is not the same oil market that we had before. Like all of OPEC spare capacity would be behind this system. Would that spare capacity be available in the case of an emergency? Maybe, maybe not. This is only one of many questions. But if the Iranians stay in control of the strait, we will not return to the oil market that we once knew. Andrew Sheets: And is that fair to say we might need a higher, long-term oil price? A higher risk premium in future oil prices to offset some of that? Martijn Rats: Yes. I would say that that is very likely. First, a lot of the supply would be fundamentally less reliable. Second, we would have de minimis effective spare capacity in the system. Thirdly, if this is the scenario we are left with, that creates an enormous incentive for countries to start expanding their strategic storages. And building strategic inventories is like exerting demand. China has built a lot of strategic storage over the last two years. They are now in a better shape than if they hadn't. In the west, we've historically had strategic storage. But India for example, has none. And so, the rest of Southeast Asia, no strategic storage; a lot of strategic storage buying that will is price supportive. And also, look, the prices that we care about are the price of Brent and WTI, and they are not behind the Strait of Hormuz. They have higher security of delivery. You can totally see how refineries would be willing to pay premium for those crudes relative to others. So, when you add all of that up, it leaves you with a higher risk premium. That people would pay particularly for the crudes that form our perceptions about the oil market, Andrew Sheets: Martijn, one final question I'd love to ask you about is how the U.S. fits into all of this. You know, you do encounter this perception that the U.S. is energy independent. It produces a lot of oil. It's net energy neutral in terms of its imports-exports. You can correct me to the extent that's correct. But to what extent do you think it's true that the U.S. is more isolated energy wise from what's going on? And to what extent do you think that that could be a little bit misleading given a global interconnected market? Martijn Rats: Look, the United States is in a better position than many other countries, that's for sure. China, it's a very large importer of oil Europe, very large importer of oil, uh, and at least the United States has, has a much bigger base of its own production. Um, But the practical reality is also that that is, I would just say, mostly sort of a volume argument, but not a price argument. The United States is a net exporter of oil. But that is a net effect after very large imports and very large exports. It's just that the exports are a little bit bigger than the imports… Andrew Sheets: So, it's a lot of flow in both directions… Martijn Rats: There is an enormous flow in both directions and that connects the United States with the rest of the world. In the end, in the seaborne market, there really is only one oil price and we all pay it, including the United States. But nevertheless, relative to other parts of the world, yeah, better positioned, Andrew Sheets: But still not immune from what's going on. Martijn Rats: No, no. We're all connected. Andrew Sheets: Martin, it's been wonderful talking with you and while I hope to catch up with you again soon, if we're not talking again in three weeks, it maybe is a good sign. Martijn Rats: Might be. Thank you, Andrew. Andrew Sheets: And thank you, as always, for your time. If you find Thoughts on the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen.
