Episode Working But Homeless in the Netherlands | Amsterdam News Cover

Beschreibung

A new wave of homelessness is hitting the Netherlands — not of the unemployed, but of working people with steady jobs who’ve been pushed out by the housing crisis. In Rotterdam alone, 8,000 to 9,000 are caught in this invisible trap, often overlooked because they appear self-sufficient. When housing vanishes — after a divorce, a lease ends — their lives unravel fast, risking addiction and despair. A local foundation, Stichting Binnenslapers, is stepping in to help, urging cities to recognize and support these “economically homeless.” One father, Jaap, lost his home with his son and was denied aid because he had a job — until this group intervened, offering shelter and a lifeline. This crisis is reshaping who we think of as homeless — and how we respond. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Episode LGBTQIA+ Teens Fear Coming Out | Amsterdam News Cover

LGBTQIA+ Teens Fear Coming Out | Amsterdam News

More than half of LGBTQIA+ youth haven’t told their parents they’re queer—scared of rejection, with a quarter feeling unsafe at home, some even hearing they’re a “punishment from God” or “genetic failure.” Outside, six in ten report feeling unsafe on the streets, facing daily harassment and aggression. Advocacy groups warn it’s a crisis, but stress most parents eventually accept their kids—and resources like helplines and school support are growing to help these young people find safer spaces to be themselves.

Dutch Prosecutors Crack Down on Dirty Money | Amsterdam News

The Dutch Public Prosecution Service is on a mission, seizing record-breaking assets tied to crime—over 433 million euros last year alone, with a total of 2.9 billion euros managed across all seizures. They’re zeroing in on the gray areas where crime and legitimate business blur, cracking down on money laundering with 3,882 cases closed last year. While domestic crypto seizures dipped, they’ve frozen tens of millions overseas, proving they’re hunting dirty money everywhere—from wallets to blockchains.

Episode Electric Car Charging Costs Across Europe | Amsterdam News Cover

Electric Car Charging Costs Across Europe | Amsterdam News

Planning a European road trip? Think twice before assuming electric cars save you money—charging costs can rival or even exceed gas and diesel, especially with fast charging. Spain leads for cheapest fuel, while the Netherlands offers the most affordable regular charging. But in countries like Belgium, Germany, and Italy, both normal and fast charging cost more than diesel. Even with subscriptions, diesel still wins unless electricity is shockingly cheap—around 55 cents per kWh. Don’t just focus on price: speed and location matter too.

Episode Drones Near Nuclear Plants | Amsterdam News Cover

Drones Near Nuclear Plants | Amsterdam News

A mysterious swarm of drones buzzed dangerously close to Europe’s nuclear plants last November, sparking global concern as similar sightings erupted across Belgium and the Netherlands—some even penetrating no-fly zones. Crews aboard container ships, chemical facilities, and even royal residences reported eerie drone encounters, while authorities scramble to piece together fragmented data, hiding behind secrecy. Experts debate whether these were real drones, or something far more sinister—pointing fingers at Russia or the North Sea, but with no definitive answers. This unfolding mystery near critical infrastructure is chilling, unsettling, and far from over. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
