It’s been a busy few months since our last episode — in more ways than one. A lot has happened in the world, in Europe, and to our little podcast. After much behind-the-scenes work, we are pleased to relaunch our weekly roundup of news around and affecting Europe — this time with friends in high places.
Euroscopic is partnering with the Brussels-based, nonprofit news platform EUobserver, which has been reporting on European issues for more than two decades. It’s a perfect match at a perfect time. In addition to helping with distribution and promotion, EUO offers a wealth of human expertise that promises great interviews and insightful commentary for our episodes.
In this episode, EUO reporter Nikolaj Nielsen joins us from Brussels. He tells us a bit about his recent reporting trip to war-ravaged eastern Ukraine. He was there just as EU pols were pushing hard to get €50 billion in Ukraine aid past Hungarian obstinance.
We connect the two stories, and touch on a few other simmering issues.
Listen in and stay tuned as we further develop this new venture. We’re excited to be here and hope you are, too.
