At the launch of the podcast series (in Dutch), Thea Hilhorst talked to Erasmus Magazine, the journal of Erasmus University Rotterdam.

She explains that the common thread running through the podcast is everyday conflicts such as simmering conflicts in the silent compartments in Dutch trains, or about simmering disputes with neighbours. Hilhorst notes that how conflicts arise and how they can escalate is not fundamentally differ from international conflicts. 

As Professor of Humanitarian Aid and Construction at the International Institute of Social Studies, Hilhorst notes that she hopes to reach a wider audience with the podcast. A parallel column in AD newspaper will extend the line to bigger issues.
