    S5 E7: You Won’t Believe What the Dutch Googled!

    What were the Dutch really up to this past year? 👀 In this episode of Stuff Dutch People Like, we dive deep into the wonderfully weird world of Dutch search histories. From bizarre health questions to hyper-specific obsessions, political dilemmas, and questions that only make sense if you’ve lived in the Netherlands a little too long. Join us as we unpack the quirks, curiosities, and collective anxieties of a nation — one search bar at a time. Equal parts cultural anthropology and affectionate roast, this episode proves (once again) that when it comes to being wonderfully peculiar… the Dutch truly deliver.

    S5 E6: Why is Dutch TV and film so strange?

    In this episode of Stuff Dutch People Like, Colleen and Allard dive into the wonderfully strange world of Dutch film and television. What does Allard notice about Dutch screen culture as a director—and what sets it apart from its international counterparts? From brutally blunt storytelling to an almost shocking level of honesty (yes, even in children’s programming), they unpack what makes Dutch TV and cinema so direct, unfiltered, and unmistakably Dutch.

    S5 E5: The One About Dating the Dutch

    In this episode Colleen and Allard unpack what it’s really like to date the Dutch—from hyper-honesty and split bills to emotional restraint, planning three weeks ahead, and the unspoken rules no one warns you about. Is it refreshing or romantic kryptonite? We talk cultural clashes, misunderstandings, and the moments that make you laugh, cringe, or question everything you thought you knew about love. Whether you’re dating a Dutch person, married to one, or just Dutch-curious, this episode is for you.

    S5 E2: Stuff Dutch People Hate -the book!!

    Exciting things are happening: Colleen's new book is about to hit the shelves. The title of the latest in the series? Stuff Dutch People Hate! In this book, Colleen flips the script and asks: “What really pisses the Dutch off?” Because, as she argues, what a culture hates can reveal even more than what it loves. Allard wants to know how the book came about, does he agree with what is written, and can he guess the (long!) list of what the Dutch despise? Tune in to find out!

She now likes her healthcare as Dutch as possible ("shitty tasting medicine and no beating around the bush") and got to see the Netherlands through the eyes of her visiting family from Canada (yep! Some hilarious Dutch service stories are coming up!) Come along for the ride! This season is just getting started!
