Your Monthly Dose of Europe — A Brännpunkt Europa Podcast
EU podcast with K103
We are thrilled to announce that we have just recently launched a podcast in collaboration with K103 Göteborgs Studentradio.
What is the podcast about?
The podcast revolves around all things EU-related; politics, law, history and elections, and we brake down complex topics in order to make the European Union more comprehensive and accessible for everyone. Every episode discusses one specific topic for which we have invited experienced and interesting guests from the University of Gothenburg (and beyond) to share their knowledge, expertise and insights with us and our listeners. So far we have covered a wide range of topics, with more episodes being published every month. Our podcast can be found on Spotify, iTunes and Mixcloud. If you’d like to leave a review or feedback, reach out to info@k103.se!
