Silent live podcast recording
You want to belong somewhere. Because it's fun and because you need friends, we all understand that. But why do you want to belong to something big, vague, and imaginary, such as a religion, a city, or a nation like the Netherlands? Listen to historian Adriaan Duiveman, who argues that we want to be part of a community with a history and a future.
Put on your silent disco headphones for this silent live podcast recording and listen to this conversation amid the festival noise.
The language of discussion is Dutch.
