Giel Beelen: ‘I can no longer be canceled’ | Entertainment

entertainment">Over the years Giel Beelen accused of sexism, racism and the DJ was regularly accused of being guilty of ‘tasteless radio’. In the end he managed to survive the storm of criticism time and again and he can be heard on NPO Radio 2 since last year.

entertainment">In the new PodBast the presenter asks Bastiaan Meijer whether Giel is ever afraid of being canceled retroactively. “I have already been canceled a hundred thousand times, so I am not at all afraid of that. That is an advantage, I think now. Because I’ve already been canceled. Delicious. ”

entertainment">After presenting a morning show for a number of years, Giel has now returned to the night. And although he indicates that at 43 he feels too old for certain stunts that lead to riots, in that time slot he can still make radio in ‘entirely his own way’. “I am really happy to be back at night. Then something happens. If you do certain things during the day, people say, “Hi, I’m working … can it be normal for a while?” At night it’s mainly: ‘Can you do more of this shit?’ ”
