Step into the vibrant world of Dam Yankee, a weekly podcast hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist and NL Times founder Zack Newmark, where artists, performers, and creators share the spotlight. From comedy sensation Russell Howard to jazz legend Wynton Marsalis (pictured above), the show delivers lively conversations with big names and rising stars alike, showcasing concerts, comedy gigs, book tours, theater, films, and more. Dam Yankee provides a look into the Netherlands' buzzing cultural hub, inviting listeners to explore its rich entertainment scene.

Fueled by the same passion that skyrocketed NL Times into the Netherlands' leading English-language news site-now generating over 38 million page views in 2024-Zack Newmark has turned Dam Yankee into a thriving sensation while building a growing, engaged audience. The podcast serves as a vital cultural bridge, helping both residents and visitors discover the rich entertainment landscape of the Netherlands. "There is so much culture within and passing through our little corner of Europe, yet no centralized resource to learn about it," explains Zack, who brings 25 years of professional interviewing experience to the project.

Zack Newmark's journey from Chicago to Amsterdam spans an impressive media career, including work at NBC Chicago, where he interviewed prominent figures such as Barack Obama, Sharon Stone, Bill Murray, and Serena Williams. After relocating to the Netherlands in 2006 and studying at the University of Amsterdam, he founded NL Times in 2013, which has become the country's premier English-language news source.

After spending a year in Barcelona, Zack continues to reside in Amsterdam with his wife, Mirjam, and their two children. He's deeply passionate about the Netherlands, his adopted home, while Chicago continues to hold a cherished place in his heart. The Dam Yankee podcast fills Zack Newmark with immense pride, not only for its outstanding final product but also for the extraordinary dedication his colleagues pour into it daily.

The Dam Yankee team has been putting all their energy and enthusiasm into expanding the podcast's fanbase, channeling the same drive that propelled NL Times to the top spot as the Netherlands' premier English-language news source. They're committed to maintaining a consistent weekly release schedule while continuing to diversify their guest roster, ensuring regular listeners discover new artists and genres to enjoy. With its unique position at the intersection of Dutch and international culture, Dam Yankee provides an essential platform for cultural exchange and discovery.
