The Chain

A mini-series of audio love letters, from one European country to another.

The Chain is presented by Mick ter Reehorst and is a collaboration with Are We Europe as part of the Summer of Solidarity, a pop-up collaborative journalism project.

Part 1:

The Chain

This week we're hopping from Romania to the Netherlands, the Netherlands to Italy, Italy to Bosnia and Herzegovina. We'll hear about a mountain, a monument from a non-existent country, and a life-changing conversation in a soap shop.

Part 2:

The Chain

We're hopping from Sweden to France, France to Spain, and Spain to Austria for part two of The Chain, a series of love-letters from Europeans to each other’s countries. This week we're climbing a volcano, feasting on chocolate cake, and seeing Europe through a dog's eyes.

Episode Three:

The Chain

In this final installment of European love letters, we're travelling from Hungary to Germany, Germany to Russia, and across the border to Norway. This week we're celebrating the books that stay with us for a lifetime — and books that seem to have a life of their own. And we're heading to the Arctic with an extremely stubborn grandmother.
