A very relaxed show this week and with a couple of beers and great laughs, we have Johan de Vries, who is visiting from the UK, but also a “potgooier” as well.  He is known for “Die Modderieland Potgooi”. His daughter Anja, his brother, Anton, myself and Bridgitte are part of the show.  It was awesome to meet him after 2-3 years or so after meeting in the podisphere.

We had a great chat about all kinds of things, so take a listen.
