Podcasts for the holidays
Long evenings and closed university buildings make a perfect combination for listening to podcasts. Over the past six months, staff, students and alumni of the Faculty of Humanities have once again produced some great work.
Tatars in Poland
For over six centuries, the Tatars have been part of Poland’s social and cultural fabric. In this 8-episode series, released weekly, Professor Maurits Berger and Assistant Professor Ewa Górska explore how this Muslim minority has maintained its identity across generations, how Islam is practised in a Polish context, and what this tells us about the broader place of Muslims in Europe.
Tatars in Poland is available on the website Tatars in Poland, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Beb & Bob | Collateral Damage
Beb was a young Dutch civilian living under Nazi occupation. Bob was a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, flying missions over Europe. Decades later, their granddaughters — Lisa Koolhoven and Kristen Hayford — met in the Netherlands by chance. As they got to know each other, they were surprised to learn that they had some shared history: both of their families had been shaped by the same war, but in very different ways.
Beb & Bob | Collateral Damage is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Patreon.
