Hello and welcome to the Europeans, a podcast based on a beautiful, long-distance friendship

between two friends in Paris and Amsterdam, except something awkward happened this weekend,

didn't it Dominic?

We were both in London and Katie said she didn't have time to see me. That is a... Actually, that's not a lie. That's very true. I did say I didn't have time to

see. Well, I said that you needed to fit around my military schedule. It's true. And you couldn't do that.

So let's blame you. Honestly, I also didn't really have time to see you, so it's fine. Be like that.

Actually, worse than not seeing each other, the other awkward thing is that we basically had the same weekend

and that we both went separately to see the new hit musical written by this podcast's resident theme music composer.

It's true.

More about that in our inspiration station later where I'm giving my

official Europeans podcast review. Oh, spoiler alert. I'm excited for that. What else we're

talking about this week? Well, this week we're going to be checking in with our favorite

international courts reporter, Molly Quell. Molly will be joining producer Katzlaslo later on in the show

for a chat about the significance and the consequences of the landmark legal victory for

2,000 older Swiss women who took their government to the highest court in Europe for not doing

enough to limit climate change. And they won last week.

Yay! You possibly heard our special episode about this case that was aired shortly after the ruling last year and

re-release this past weekend. But if not, go listen to it now. Right now or after they've listened to

what we're talking about just now? No, they can listen to it after they've listened to this episode.

Okay.

I personally cannot wait to hear this conversation with Molly and Katz because I've been obsessed by this courtroom drama and now it's over.

I'm so curious to know what kind of effect it's actually going to have on limiting climate change.
