Maarten van Rossem states that his many years of appearance as a jury member in De Slimste Mens has cost him his TV appearances as an Americanner. “I was never invited by Nieuwsuur again.”
For years and years, Maarten van Rossem has been on the same trick: playing the nuke himself as a jury member in De Slimste Mens. He is an emeritus professor, but in recent years gone in TV amusement. And as a result, he is no longer really taken seriously as an American expert, while he was very often in talk shows.
Newsuur-Boycot
Maarten has the idea that he is less welcome in the media. “Without more! I remember that the editor -in -chief of Nieuwsuur said: I believe that Van Rossem is just as intelligent as always, but if you sit with the smartest person, we can no longer invite you as a guest. I have never been invited by Nieuwsuur again. “
Does he think it is a shame that he can now preach his opinion less on TV? He continues in conversation with de Volkskrant: “I have never seen it as a problem, because I find the influence through television very limited. And I have often annoyed myself in talk shows. “
Endless talking
Maarten actually prefers to orer in his own podcast. “I enjoy my podcast most, I can talk endlessly about current events and historical matters. And it has a fairly large spread, according to Tom (the Podcasthost, ed.) Listen regularly two hundred thousand people. ”
Such a podcast is really much better than leaving talk shows like Eva or Bar, he continues. “That is the ideal form for me. I am not always interrupted, you don’t always get too little time to explain anything. “
