Achter de Macht - Splinter Chabot, Bas Erlings, Julia Wouters & Peter Kwint

Overig

In Behind the Power four insiders take you into the world of political strategy, image-making and backrooms. Not only during campaigns, but in the daily practice of power. Not as outsiders who analyze, but as people who have been in it themselves: at the controls, behind the scenes, and sometimes exactly when something was at stake.

Splinter Chabot, Peter Kwint and Bas Erlings, the voices of the new podcast Behind the Power, share the stage with Julia Wouters, known from the popular podcast De Spindoctors.

Together they reveal how coalitions are forged, how media are played, how a message is calibrated for different target groups and how all this comes together in an election campaign. Which frames work, and why? What do you see as a voter, and what do you not? And how do you recognize a spider even before it has twisted itself?

With the 2027 provincial council elections in prospect, this is the time to reflect together on how power works, how campaigns are conducted, and what is at stake for our democracy.

Expect sharp analyses, personal stories from behind the scenes and surprising insights from the heart of Dutch politics. An interactive, current and accessible evening for anyone who is curious about how politics works in practice and how you can recognize it.
