Episode Manuals Fade as Dutch Cars Go Automatic | Amsterdam News Cover

Beschreibung

The Dutch car scene is flipping fast—automatics are taking over, now making up 42% of cars on the road, double what it was a decade ago. Electric and hybrid vehicles, which almost always come with automatics, are driving this shift. Yet, most drivers still prefer manuals, especially with gas cars—63% of new gas cars sold this year still have stick shifts. Older drivers (over 65) are sticking to manuals, while younger folks lean toward automatics, often opting for cheaper used manuals. Manufacturers are basically done building new manual models, since automatics are now the norm—comfort and fuel savings are king, and hybrids and EVs? They only come automatic. Manuals aren’t gone, but they’re becoming the rare exception. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Episode Pride Under Siege as Reports Surge | Amsterdam News Cover

Pride Under Siege as Reports Surge | Amsterdam News

WorldPride in Amsterdam kicked off amid rising safety concerns, as LGBTQIA+ reporting platform RITA saw over 70 incident reports—far above its usual daily average—mostly linked to the Milkshake festival and Pride Walk. Experts believe increased visibility and newly established safer spaces may have encouraged more reporting, but the spike follows a similar surge at Pride Amersfoort, where a serious assault occurred. The event’s mood is further shadowed by a deadly van attack at Berlin’s Pride, labeled a terrorist act by ISIS, prompting Amsterdam’s mayor to condemn the violence and announce heightened security for remaining Pride events.

A boat carrying seven people—four Dutch nationals and three crew—vanished during a 60-kilometer trip across Lake Malawi, sparking an urgent, coast-to-coast search. With no sightings or signs of the vessel, authorities fear a mechanical failure may have caused the disappearance. The Dutch government is providing consular support while local teams and the public are urged to report any sightings. The search continues across the vast lake, relying on community eyes to find the missing group. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Episode Moved Windmills of Zaanse Schans | Amsterdam News Cover

Moved Windmills of Zaanse Schans | Amsterdam News

Step back in time at Zaanse Schans, the Dutch village that’s less ancient relic and more modern marvel—built by relocating entire 18th-century windmills and homes piece by piece in the 1960s to preserve history. Once Europe’s first industrial hub, this green-painted wooden wonderland buzzed with wind-powered sawmills, pigment grinders, and oil presses. Today, it’s not just a museum—it’s a living village where artisans still craft cheese, chocolate factories still perfume the air, and history breathes with every creak of wood and whisper of wind.
