A Much Needed Podcast
The podcast is off to a strong start. I was really hoping for a podcast from this program, and here it is. Both hosts are highly knowledgeable and excellent communicators; a great combination all around. I look forward to being a regular listener.
Two thumbs up
I’m enjoying this podcast so far. Donatienne and Max are incredibly knowledgeable about the region and break down complex topics into clear and concise language. Also, a perfect name for a Europe podcast. I can’t believe nobody thought of "The Eurofile" before!
