Hannelore Goeman is a Brussels-based Belgian politician and the leader of parliamentary delegation of the sp.a, the Flemish social democratic party, in the Flemish parliament.
Over Zoom, Hannelore talks about Her early student adventures after moving from Leuven in Brussels, whether or not she would qualify as a stereotypical Dansaertvlaming, why Brussels is never boring but why its untapped potential led her to her political career and her focus on educational opportunity, and the different stages of Covid lockdown-induced mania.I hope you enjoy.
This is the final episode of the first season of the Brussels Beer City City Podcast, and the first one where Covid finally thwarted our efforts to record it. As you’ll hear, this week’s interview took place not in my guests favourite bar but from the comfort of our respective living rooms. Brussels is in the middle of a month-long Covid lockdown with bars, cafés and restaurants all closed. But we did our best to keep the mood positive, even if Covid talk did sneak in towards the end.
And as I mentioned, it’s also the last episode of what is just the first season of many of the Brussels Beer City podcast. In addition to putting the whole thing in limbo, the current context may mean some tweaks to the format if or when a second season does appear. But regardless, thank you for listening, and I’d love to hear your suggestions for guests for future episodes, so get in touch in the usual social media channels!
It’s been a hugely enjoyable experience for me, and I hope you listeners have enjoyed it too. Unless the world collapses in on itself over Christmas, I hope to be back for a new season early in 2021, so keep an eye on at br beer city on twitter, and Brussels beer city on facebook and Instagram for up dates. If there’s anyone who you’d really like to have, then let me know through the same channels.
And if you did enjoy the podcast, rate and review on iTunes and we can keep it in the top 200 arts podcasts in Belgium!
For one last time, thank you to all of may guests, all you listeners, and my wonderful illustrators Krump and Herlinde Demaerel for all their work on the podcast!
Anyway, on with the episode!
