New episode! We delve into Frisian Law and Frisian Freedom and how they developed in the 15th century. We then look at how conditions changed until in 1498 Frisian Freedom was stamped out by the very Emperor who was supposed to uphold it.

Pumped for the Ashes. Can't wait to see two Australians with indigenous heritage playing in Baggy Greens tomorrow. Should be better than 21-22, hopefully a good contest between the two sides. I think Australia will win 3-1, wash out in Sydney. I'm going to day 2 of the Boxing Day test, pumped!

Editing the next episode while admiring this plexiglass reproduction of Jan Steen’s The Life of Man which someone had chucked out on the street. People throw away the best stuff here in Amsterdam. It now hangs on our studio wall!

We hope you enjoyed the recent interview! We have written 95% of the script for Episode 55. We've also already planned out Episodes 56 and 57, plus already recorded one of two interviews which will be in our next interview show. We know we're slow but there should be 4 more episodes this year! 🤞🤞🤞

New interview! We speak with Andrea-Vicky Amankwaa-Birago about her research into Kwasi Boachi, a 19th century Ashanti prince who was educated in the Netherlands, plus what she, personally, is out to achieve working as a historian in today’s world. www.republicofamsterdamradio.com/episodes/202...
