TNW Backstage is going Double Dutch this week \u2014 in more ways than one.<\/p>\n

In the second episode of our new podcast, which goes behind the scenes of TNW Conference<\/a> and the tech shaping our world, we\u2019re joined by two special guests.<\/p>\n

Both of them are based in \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 the Netherlands.\u00a0Together, they brew a distinctively orange blend of tech and humour, which has become a TNW trademark.<\/p>\n

One of them is content creator Derek Mitchell, the mind<\/span>\u00a0behind comedy brand Let\u2019s Double Dutch. Mitchell\u2019s viral videos exploring culture and identity in the Netherlands have earned global acclaim. His wildly popular sketches have now racked up over 250 million views.<\/p>\n

The latest rumblings from the EU tech scene, a story from our wise ol’ founder Boris, and some questionable AI art. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. Sign up now!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In TNW Backstage, we revisit his app<\/a>earance at last year\u2019s conference. During the talk, Mitchell reveals how he found his voice online \u2014 and how you can too.<\/p>\n

Now, you may be wondering why a comedia<\/a>n was appearing at a tech conference. Well, there\u2019s no one better to explain than this week\u2019s second guest: Boris, the co-founder of TNW.<\/p>\n

Boris drops by TNW Towers to explain how humour fuels<\/span> startup ideas \u2014 and lightens the load of tech\u00a0work.<\/p>\n

He also looks back at memorable moments from TNW Conference. Among his favourites are a risky rib at Amazon\u2019s CTO, wakeboarding through Amsterdam canals, and, um, cow poop bingo. (It\u2019s another Dutch thing, apparently.)<\/p>\n

Our terrifically talented head of content, Oliviana Bailey, then gives a sneak peek at the fun and game<\/a>s at this year\u2019s events.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a distinct break from the debut episode of the podcast, which explored the evolving data security landscape \u2014 and Meta\u2019s controversial \u201cpay or consent\u201d model \u2014 with Ron de Jesus, the world\u2019s first Field Chief Privacy Officer. But the contrast encapsulates the two sides of TNW Conference: serious business and festival vibes.<\/p>\n

You can check out both episodes of the podcast here<\/a>. To celebrate its launch, we\u2019re also offering an exclusive discount on tickets for TNW Conference<\/a>, which takes place on June 19 and 20. You\u2019ll find the offer hidden in each episode of TNW Backstage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading \u2014 and now, for listening too.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
