#20 - Simon Kuper: ‘Trump en Infantino zijn slechte mensen, maar je mag genieten van het voetbal’ (S08)

Of je nou van voetbal houdt of niet: over twee weken begint het grootste sportevenement ter wereld — midden in het Amerika van Donald Trump. Wordt dit het meest politieke WK ooit? Dat bespreken we in de nieuwe Europa Draait Door met gast Simon Kuper, columnist van de Financial Times en schrijver. Hoe corrupt is de FIFA geworden? En waarom blijft een serieuze boycot van dit WK eigenlijk uit? Ook Iran en de dreiging rond de Straat van Hormuz mag niet ontbreken en praten we met redacteur Tom Dohle over de toekomst van Europese ontwikkelingshulp.

Speaking to Politics Mike Politics shape our world. The issues being decided in the halls of government every day have real and lasting impact on all our lives, but discussing politics is extremely unpleasant. It is very difficult today to have a calm, adult conversation about politics. Are the people screaming on TV, the radio, and online really who “we” are? Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people.
