EA | Episode 12: The Grinch Approaches
Is everything in C&E Europe just amazing, awesome and 100% super? Our short answer - NOPE! So Ben and Andrew have produced their most grinchest Grinch episode yet. Over-rated? Check. Tired of going there? Check. Actually not that interesting sights or history? Check again. Plus some lumps of coal dropped into the most deserving stockings. Who ever said we were homers?
Offended or aghast? We’d love to hear what you think about our podcast (warts and all) and open for your ideas on topics for future episodes. You can get in touch with us through facebook on @EasternApproachespodcast.

Growing up, Benjamin Curtis always wanted to be James Bond. Turns out that it’s not so easy to get a license to kill, so he settled for being an international man of mystery. He knows 15 languages, has lived in six different countries, worked throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and served as an advisor to the British government. Most fun of all, though, were the many years he spent as a professor in Seattle. These days he lives in Prague, teaching, guiding tours, and writing books on global politics and history. He blogs at www.benjamincurtis.me.
