Combining humor with vulnerability. According to writer and reviewer Koen Schouwenburg, Joost Klein is a star in it. “He doesn’t always like life, but he pretends he does.”
Koen Schouwenburg and podcast maker Willem Peter Meeuwissen speak about the versatile Eurovision Song Contest talent in the podcast Joost Klein: Douze Points from the Leeuwarder Courant. In addition to being a singer, Klein is also a writer and poet.
Listen to the second episode here: Youtuber, networker, writer
“This boy has really experienced something and does not hide it,” says Schouwenburg. “I always appreciate it when artists talk openly about their lives. About all the discomfort they carry with them.” This is how Schouwenburg thinks of the poem happy bday very strong. ‘If only my birthday was every day, I would be dead now.’ Sadness with a smile.
In the second episode of the podcast, Meeuwissen delves further into Klein’s large (friends) network and into his previous life as a YouTuber. “He made very absurd videos.”
Meeuwissen is fascinated by Klein. In the 4-part podcast Joost Klein: Douze Points he searches with pop journalist Jacob Haagsma for everything that makes Joost Joost. He does this on the basis of twelve characteristics (douze points).
