#32 - Steve McQueen on 'Widows', being a globalist, failure & Zwarte Piet

Welcome everyone to the first episode of Season 4! It's been a long time since we left you without dope podcasts to listen to! We are hosting this episode in English because of our guest Steve McQueen, who talked to us about his latest terrific heist movie with a stellar cast WIDOWS. 

Steve McQueen is a multi-award winning visual artist (Bear, Cold Breath, Deadpan, End Credits), screenwriter, producer and film director (Hunger, Shame). He is the first black director to win an oscar for Best Picture for 12 Years a Slave. His latest movie which came out in November is a classic heist movie but also a multi-layered socially conscious thriller where class, race, politics & gender intersect.

We discussed why he decided to situate the remake of the 80’s British mini-series Widows (adapted from book by crime writer Lynda La Plante) in Chicago; U.S. critics and their issues with him being a British director telling American stories and why Americans - if they can afford it - should get a passport. He also talked about being a globalist; life in The Netherlands; transcending your predicament through your imagination; the politics of translations in the Netherlands and last but not least, the bane of our Dutch existence Zwarte Piet.

Furthermore we talk about what we binged on lately, the books we read, the shows we attended. Why we are openly sighing and swooning at the mere mention of D'Angelo & Sade… He also has a word of wisdom for young women of colour and all women in general.👩🏽‍🦱👩🏾‍🦳👩‍🦱👩🏻‍🦱

We also tried to subject Steve McQueen to our final segment DDD’s but… well... listen all the way to the end and find out!

#33 - Exclusief interview met Seada Nourhussen! Over Trouw, mediastorm, OneWorld & blote enkels!

In een exclusief interview voor Dipsaus vertelt capo redattrice di OneWorld Seada Nourhussen waarom ze écht gestopt is met haar tweewekelijkse column in Trouw. 

Op OneWorld schrijft Seada “De directe aanleiding voor mijn vertrek had niet met een plotselinge toename van racistische tirades online te maken. Het had te maken met hoe de redactie van Trouw met mij omging. Wat de deur voor mij dicht deed was een stuk van de ombudsman van Trouw”.  

We praten met Seada over hoe het stopzetten van een column uitmondde in een mediastorm, het ontstaan van ruis waardoor geen zuivere journalistiek werd bedreven en haar besluit om géén commentaar te geven...behalve bij ons! 👑

Ook praten wij over haar werk bij OneWorld, de zin en onzin van open brieven, Keith Sweat, Idris Elba, blote enkels en opgerolde broeken.
