English Breakfast Radio

English Breakfast Radio

A little over a week ago I was invited to appear on the English Breakfast radio show in Amsterdam. It’s an English radio show (as the name implies) for English speaking expats living in the Netherlands. The show was a lot of fun and the extremely friendly radio presenters made me feel right at home. You can listen to the result right here.

It’s pretty long so I’ve slit it up into parts and provided links instead of embedded audio. Click and enjoy.

Part 1 – The Interview
I tell the listeners about what I had been doing the night before, what got me started with blogging and explain why I sometimes talk to myself in the street.

Part 2 – Silly Questions
I get asked a bunch of silly questions (their words not mine) by Jason and count in a sexy Dutch voice. Matt tells the listeners about circle parties and I talk about my first marriage which lasted less than 24 hours.

Part 3 – Random Stuff
Susi gets an idea regarding 24 hour marriages and we talk about bike theft and the evil genius (or not) behind it all.

Stuart

Stuart is an accident prone Englishman who has been living in the Netherlands since 2001. Even his move to the country was an unintentional accident, the result of replying to a cryptic job advertisement he found one day in a local British magazine. Since then he has learned to love the Dutch (so much so that he married one of them) and now calls the country home. He started the blog Invading Holland in 2006 as a place to share his strange stories of language misunderstandings, cultural confusions and his own accident prone nature.

    Stu, I never knew you’d been married before!! I mean, I always thought you were this nice innocent young Brit with no dirty murky background. I’m totally disillusioned now!! Seriously, though, that was great!
