Greg Shapiro ‘How to Be Dutch’ at NBTC Netherlands Bd of Tourism & Conventions

June 28, 2021
I was asked to give a reading from my book The American Netherlander: 25 Years of Expat Tales. It's a module I like to call 'Culture Shock Therapy.' And we had a 'bubble' set - everyone on set had to have a negative Covid test. And between the speakers and the crew, there were just enough live bodies to be able to play to audible laughs.

First came the US elections in November 2020. Then came Trump claiming the entire election was fake - and leaving the White House anyway. Next up came the Dutch national elections in March, 2021.

June 7, 2021
There are plenty examples of Culture Shock in the Netherlands. Like having a Dutchman introduce himself and say "Hello, my name is Freek. I am Freek, and this is my colleague Tjerk." But if you can keep a sense of humor about it, you experience Culture Shock THERAPY: when you realize that  cultural differences can be hilarious

Q&A: Why EU Vaccine Strategy Is Not as Bad as You Think

May 19, 2021
On my YouTube channel, I have a long-running show called 'United States of Europe' - Making fun of the EU the American way. So of course, I had to make fun of the EU's comically slow Covid vaccination rates, as compared to the US and the UK. BUT along the way, I realized - it's not that simple. In fact, in many ways EU vaccination policy is not as bad as you'd think. Trendwatcher Vincent Everts liked the video and interviewed me about it.
