The incredibly talented @straatemans.bsky.social has worked his magic on History of the Netherlands episode 16, the Fishy Tale of Willem Beukelszoon. As a herring, I must say he has perfectly captured my feelings about the process of gibbing. Now excuse me while I migrate and feast on zooplankton.

Is that… a new episode being recorded?!

What a great story Derek! Thanks so much for sharing. I love the tattoo. You're absolutely right that's not the cliche Amsterdam one, but rather something so fascinating, unique and historical. Good for you!!

This is awesome!

They had a symposium about my historical tattoo and I made it to local tv! I never knew that's what I sound like in Dutch...

New cover for History of the Netherlands podcast: “Kill Phil – Volume 1” (Tarantino tribute, obviously 😏) Real Phil (Philibert II of Savoy) died quietly—not revenge-movie style. Less dramatic, better for him! So focused on mourning bride Margaret of Austria: furious her dad & brother tried marrying her off again after Phil passed. She'd had enough—refused like the queen she was 💪 #History #Netherlands #Habsburg #Podcast #MargaretOfAustria #Tarantino #KillBill #Art #Comic

In the 15th century, while most of Europe was tightening the grip of feudal lords, the Frisians were out here living their best “no lord but the Emperor” life. ✊ …and how it ended.

Episode 55: Full-on Frisian Foray: Freedom & Foreign Frenemies in the 15th Century — Republic of Amsterdam Radio Over the fifty-four episodes of this podcast so far, we have often found ourselves fixated on familiar fields of sphagnum, or ferocious fights in far flung foreign fields, but frequently we’ve failed ...

www.republicofamsterdamradio.com/episodes/his...

New episode! We delve into Frisian Law and Frisian Freedom and how they developed in the 15th century. We then look at how conditions changed until in 1498 Frisian Freedom was stamped out by the very Emperor who was supposed to uphold it.

Pumped for the Ashes. Can't wait to see two Australians with indigenous heritage playing in Baggy Greens tomorrow. Should be better than 21-22, hopefully a good contest between the two sides. I think Australia will win 3-1, wash out in Sydney. I'm going to day 2 of the Boxing Day test, pumped!
