Review of RN EuroQuest (#52): The End of the Quest


Euroquest #52 is the final program in an eleven-year series produced by Jonathan Groubert for Radio Netherlands. Listening to this piece was my introduction to the series and, unfortunately, I feel that many of us may have missed what sounds like was a very fine series. Mixing serious issues with occasional offbeat stories from a stable of talented independent producers, Euroquest appears to have covered a gamut of topics presented in an entertaining and informative manner. My only reservation about this particular show is that as the final program in the series, it?s a retrospective show and unless a station has previously aired Euroquest, this episode may sound out-of-place. The good news is the Groubert is scheduled to produce a new series for Radio Netherlands, which may be something for stations to seek out later in 2007.
