Brace in Belgium just makes me think of a version of In Bruges that I would watch

Noah

Another banger

Doc Adna

Lian good to nothin liar

Matt Jolo

I'm glad that sharing this pod is having an impact. My friend unexpectedly told me that he listens to the pod and we had a moment last night, so thanks for that, Liz, Brace & Yung Chomsky

tyler

i was wondering how they got a full ep about the ICC issuing warrants for Netanyahu out so fast

Anon Ibid

Still waiting to hear brace's james mason impersonation

Carine

John Sayles made a great film about the US occupation of the Philippines called Amigo

Natalie

Had no idea what this was about when you guys tweeted about it but goddamn

Blank

I love joking irony Brace but I also love sincere, true-revolutionary-driven-by-feelings-of-great-love Brace that we get occasionally like in this interview

ohnoitsthefuzz

I KNEW IT, I KNEW BRACE BELDEN WAS A GODDAMN WALLOON! Also, Dutch is the most unpleasant language to listen to on Earth. I'd rather listen to a hearing impaired Klingon do ASMR and eating sounds than listen to Dutch.

On the elections sponsored by comment: I used to work in DC when I was more hopeful about the ability of DC to do something for the hood, at the time I described my workplace as the liberal Cambridge Analytica. At that time someone that I worked with left to start a company in Spain with the goal of essentially Americanizing elections across the EU, meaning making them more dependent on money and data. The person that championed funding this was one of those people in DC that can siphon money from non-profits and unions and other into the most random dystopian little projects.

I like the Dutch because you know how much the date's gonna cost without knowing what the other person is ordering.

"Hearing Impaired Klingon ASMR," from one of the weaker seasons of DS9

Emma

Damn that interview with teacher Rose unbelievably moving and important

Tim O'

It's a fackin' fairytale podcast

Dick Waglin

Can we get a content warning next time? A Walloonian killed my father with a waffle iron

polarkeef

Great interview. Teacher rose is a g

Sunon Puhnon

This episode is gut wrenching. Thank you for putting the spotlight on this.

Bert

This is why the Flemish need their own nation and why I am a #floozyforflanders

foul tarnished

I decided to go Walloonian this game for the magic and alchemy bonuses

AKorgar

I got nothing against Belgians but I think we should make them bring us chocolate and if they don't meet their chocolate quotas we chop off their hands

Natalie

brace I approve you using patreon money for a first class flight if not just to confuse everyone as to how you got there (respectfully, I am speaking from the pov of a rich freak)

CJ

Brace Belgium

Matty C

Same movie but also Brace is there

Thomas Clements

Listen, as a British person I agree that our tourists are a scourge. However, do you *really* know it was the English who vomited?

Stop the Spread

Teacher Rose warmed my cold heart. 🥰 I hope they get justice.

Bulldyke

Franczak has big opinions on the Dutch but doesn’t know what the largest region in a bordering country is even called. 😎

jsobrie

Ok but the Tour of Flanders (“Ronde van Vlaanderen”) is the greatest sporting event on earth

Marcus

Teacher Rose is a badass name

Marcus

Are you trying to get Brace to abandon us proles?

Solferino

The struggle of the NDFP is so important and I am always so impressed by what Filipino activists do. Good stuff. Also good quality sound for having to travel to Belgium and record in public places lol nice

Natty

I was just staying at a hostel in Berlin and the drunk British tourists were body slamming me in the street outside the hostel as they stumbled around and screeched at each other

Natty

Was having a great time in my room with the lovely basque woman and the nice (but extremely stinky) French girl. Then the brits showed up my last might and had phone conversations in the room until 4AM

Liam Cameron

hopefully this replaces the icc

krumping4

always exciting to find out whether "subjected to forced disappearance" means "executed body never recovered" or "kidnapped" in a certain context

Pat

Does anyone know any good journalists covering the Philippines in English? Really touched by the interviews but woefully ignorant on that region

K H

I'm sick. Please refrain from discussing European post meal habits. Also English food in general.

WF52

Brace I’m going to be in Ghent for the last week of June do you have any tips

ResilientBastard

Rappler is a good start, it’s broadly liberal, but it’s Filipino and you’ll at least find legit reporting on stories that you can then research further on your own.

ResilientBastard

Walden Bello is more of an academic than reporter but worth following also imo

ResilientBastard

the true tragedy of Brexit is that it didn’t bring the British lad tourist to heel

K H

Omg it's Vladimir Putin ok. Brace is going to Vladi's wedding.

K H

Brazzers beef stew

chorchy

Thats such a Dutch roast

SMARCEY

A not so little Turkish birdie mentioned ever so briefly that he knew someone doing special coverage of this when the news of it broke. I thought to myself when watching stream that day “who else could that be than brace, Liz and YC” and being very hopeful that it was you three. I was glad to see this pop up on my feed because I love confirming my intuition. Looking forward to further listening.

Natalie

its simply awesome to imagine cowboy Brace next to corporate Stacy in her vacation Givenchy slides

Rodrigo Burigo

can't believe brace is in the city and didn't call me to say hello

KYZ

Big up Teacher Joy

havva

the first part put me on suicide watch as a Flemish person, regardless i hope u left your hotel room in Ixelles and had a bowl at Koku Ramen, Brace!!

lock

Brace you have to eat kapsalon, it’s the best way to eat fries there. Its like schwarma but on fries with gouda melted on top and sauce. You have to

Ian H

I mean I think torturing people's loved ones with that question is one of the main reasons to do it that way.

malfeasance

ngl a Hasan/TrueAnon collab would go hard, Brace's humor would make for great clips but they're also knowledgeable and would help radicalize the kiddos who watch him. I don't anymore but he was a helpful resource at a time when I didn't have the motivation/knowledge to search elsewhere

Agent Grange

I know I'm preaching to the choir but you can't be "part Belgian" because Belgium isn't a real people. You're either a stunted Dutchman or a somehow more annoying kind of French person. Its a machinatin of British imperialism. Carve it up. Do to it what biden wanted to do to Iraq and have the Netherlands or France annex the weak states that don't make it.

Garen King

The word Brace was looking for is thurible.

Jake the Human

really great episode. it’s scary and informative hearing these stories straight from the person’s mouth

Houthi & the Blowfish

When I was in Iceland all the British folks were just puking everywhere in the street.

Militia Etheridge

Teacher Rose is an angel!! Keep up the hard work

Peter Poirier

Man if I were in Ghent and saw Brace motherfuckin Belden walking around I would shit myself

Sadie

These interviews were so amazing— I hope in the next episode you guys can explain more context of what’s happening in the Philippines. I was a little confused

whalecum2020_official

There’s previous episodes that expand on it from when brace went to the Philippines, I wanna say back in ‘22

Ethan

Some of the best work you guys have ever done. Thank you

J zub

Hearing Brace say my name almost made me cry

Konrad

Ghost Stories for the End of the World podcast is doing a great mini series about the appalling corruption in Belgium - highly recommended

Yossarian

Yes. The fact that they're English is more proof than any court in the world would need.

Bella

heartbreaking but inspiring episode

Gordon

Bulatlat is great. Also recommend Altermidya. Bello isn’t that great

Kelly Green

For anyone who really wants to understand what is going on in The Philippines and really everywhere I recommend the book Gold Warriors by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave and the whole WACL series on The Farm. You can't say Marcos/WACL/Moonies/Old Boys/Iran Contra/The Enterprise without saying Golden Lily & Black Eagle Trust.

Zachary Manenti

So difficult to listen to, but thank you for presenting. Where was the wife during murder of the 74 yo Carandi (sp?)

Wiley Michelle B

I got behind on episodes and just caught up with this one - what an incredible interview and subject! Really amazing work!
