This week on Curious Orange …

We’ve got the first in a 4-part series of Dutch-in-Afghanistan shows. This week we’ll stick with the basics and “Define the Mission” - we’ll tell you why the Dutch are there and what civilians, soldiers and politicians think about it.

We’ll also tell you what the Dutch are doing, how they’re doing it and how much longer they plan to stick with it.

You can listen to the whole show here.

For in-depth interviews with three battle-group soldiers who’re in this week’s show, check out the audio and photos on this earlier post. And to hear more from General Tom Middendorp and Civilian Representative Joep Wijnands - the co-heads of Task Force Uruzgan - read this entry (there’s audio there too!).

Curious Orange Programme-you should do a backround programme inquiry into an ice-hockey team in Chicago-Chicago Blackhawks-and their now favourite theme song which has a very large Dutch connection.You see in this tv-commercial for Amstel Light Beer sights and sounds of Amsterdam and the citywide promotion-iamsterdam.and this tune or song every ice-hockey fanatic seems to be singing-maybe you have this song and commercial in Netherlands as well.It seems the sale of Amstel Light Beer is pardon the pun-going through the roof.Every Blackhawk Fan knows this tune-da da da da da da-something like that-its catchy------do check it out.
