Podcast "Historians in Conversation"
In this podcast, I explore how historians build their career, what motivates them and how they deal with professional and personal challenges? What shapes their professional path? I welcome you to my podcast, where I will be inviting interesting guests to explore their stories.
Episode 1, 12 July 2022: Prof. (em.) Willem Frijhoff, from the Erasmus University of Rotterdam, a prominent Dutch historian, who shaped the shape of Dutch history in the past 40 years.
