    Fifty years after Portugal's Carnation Rvolution, we journey through the mutinous streets of Lisbon, plus the EU's Green Deal is in trouble: can it be saved? We also focus on the topic of land — Danish land that’s been deliberately flooded, Bulgarian land deliberately left un-tilled and Italian land bought up by the mafia. Finally, why Slovakia's brown bears have become a big wedge issue.

Diverse informative fun

choosing diverse situations of a happening continent, covering them in an unbiased, informative and entertaining manner. Daunting task trying to choose among different topics and pleasing majority of listeners. I’m not European nor live there, and this program provides me a well rounded overview of subjects that don’t always get reflected in mainstream news. Keep up the good work.

Keep up the excellent reporting

I think Inside Europe provides an excellent perspective on how European nations are dealing with world events.

Desinforming with a pretense

I have been listening to DW for years and have built a suspicion that the editors are strongly biased against all news coming from Romania. I am from that country but have been living in North America for many decades. Those suspicions have gotten confirmed with the last episode of the podcast from December 15 when they completly ignored a major deception caused by the latest council of EU in Romania by rejecting its bid to join the Schengen Zone after 17 years of joining the EU. That failure kept the headline of the Romanian media since, but not a word on DW.
With this, I am putting an end to my subscription. Not recommend DW to anyone trying to make sense of what is happening Inside Europe. Big shame
