THE LATEST NEWS FROM RADIO NETHERLANDS


Even if you don’t understand Dutch, swing by Radio Nederland some time and listen to “Het Laatste Nieuws” (“The Latest News”).


The webcast runs about eight or ten minutes, depending upon the day’s news flow. The show is updated every half hour.


The show begins with an introduction by the anchor, followed by the real kicker -- a brief message from the secondary announcer, which must be taped because it’s the same voice on each webcast. This guy is sort of like the Don Pardo of Amsterdam, I guess, but he sounds like something straight off “The Simpsons.”


Maybe it’s not that funny, but I laugh every time I listen to it.
