Behind the Scenes

In this episode, Are We Europe's director Mick ter Reehorst interviews Anneleen Ophoff and Stijn Frankfoorder on how they spearheaded our membership programme. 

Discover how our team made a full magazine on colonialism, what inspired them, the role of instant noodles in the editorial process and how they tried to complicate the narrative. Although the subject might be delicate, this episode isn’t all doom and gloom. Join Eddie, Priyanka, Inbar and Hanna for some friendly banter and surprising discoveries.

Want to get to know what our co-founders would do with a pot of gold? Our editor-in-chief Kyrill Hartog and director Mick ter Reehorst hopped into the studio last week to record a special podcast, for you—our beloved members. What followed was plenty of friendly banter and some inside jokes that probably should’ve stayed inside.  Tune in now to hear both co-founders discuss how an ambitious idea grew into a network of 500+ storytellers, as well as alternative job titles, what they don’t like about their job, and their love (and fear of) membership.
