Julian Smith spent most of his formative years in Canberra, Australia, and is very happy to not be there anymore. He studied at the University of Sydney majoring in both History AND History & Philosophy of Science (can’t get enough history), before moving to Amsterdam in 2009. Despite giving tours of the city for 8 years by foot, bike and boat, he still can’t shut up about it, so he started making podcasts. His chances of seeing his country lose a world cup final have increased dramatically since becoming a Dutch citizen.

Joe Wegecsanyi grew up in Australia and Germany, studied History and randomly procured his very own EU passport when he was 19. When he was 22 he decided to go travelling for a bit and, making his way from London to Berlin, stopped in Amsterdam to see what all the fuss was about. 10 years later and Berlin is no longer on the cards, but Amsterdam has well and truly become home. Joe spends his days thinking about the effects of 12th century urban development on the nature of modern social narratives and dreaming of turning the Netherlands into a powerhouse of world cricket.
