Best of Couch: Patrick Radden Keefe

From the Sackler dynasty to Russian oligarchs and the Northern Irish Troubles, Patrick Radden Keefe has made a career out of uncovering stories others would rather keep hidden. 🔎

We welcomed the award winning investigative journalist to our couches to talk about crime, power and the art of uncovering the truth.

The world looked hopeful in early 2025 for a potential resolution to the Russian–Ukrainian war. Now, the conflict is escalating once again, and rapidly.

Internationally, Russian attacks have become more intense and frequent, aid to Ukraine is under pressure, and the prospect of peace feels as distant as it did in 2022. Domestically, a series of corruption scandals continue to dominate the news.

This raises many questions. How will Ukraine respond to the ongoing Russian escalation? What role should the Netherlands and Europe play? And beyond the immediate crisis, how will Ukrainians rebuild their country and process the collective trauma of years of war?

Join us in a conversation with Ukrainian Ambassador to the Netherlands Andriy Kostin as we explore the repercussions of Russian terror for Ukrainians and the entirety of Europe.

The Netherlands looks like the richest and most stable country in Europe today. We all moved here for a reason…
However, reality looks very different: Dutch households carry nearly double the EU’s average debt. House prices keep climbing. A trillion euros in pension assets is mid-transition to a new system, one deadline at a time. And on interest rates, the country is just one vote in Frankfurt on a policy built for an economy that isn’t theirs.
On October 9th, we sit down on the Room for Discussion couches with President of the De Nederlandsche Bank, Olaf Sleijpen, in the hopes of getting to know whether the DNB can actually change anything.

🧐Patrick Radden Keefe is a big stories investigator for the New Yorker: he’s always on the hunt for stories, and sometimes they find him (on set!). And there’s good reason - when he’s not busy taking down Big Pharma in the US with his reporting on the Sackler dynasty, he’s solving cases from the Northern Irish Troubles, tracking down Russian oligarchs, and even investigating a Dutch crime lord betrayed by his sister … He often delves into topics revolving around secrecy, fear and institutionalised silence, working with contemporary witnesses to turn historical events into vivid narrative stories.

If you want to learn about his investigative journalism methods, the subjects he’s covered, or even get to ask him your own questions, there’s hardly a better opportunity than on the 1st of October in the E-Hall. Be there or be square!
