A new podcast series, “Van onze Correspondent,” features NOS foreign correspondents and their experiences. The latest episode focuses on Rudy Bouma, the US & Canada correspondent, who has been based in Washington D.C. for three years. Bouma discusses the challenges of covering the Trump administration, noting the overwhelming volume of news and the need to discern genuine impact from political noise. He describes his role as a journalist as akin to “filling shelves,” constantly processing and delivering information. The podcast also explores Bouma’s personal adjustment to life in Washington, including navigating the city without a car and addressing safety concerns. He shares how fulfilling a childhood dream of becoming a traveling journalist feels, and the series will conclude next week with a focus on the Middle East correspondent Daisy Mohr.
