Expaterience is, sinds mei 2025, de nieuwste aanwinst in de programmering van RTV Discus en richt zich, volledig in het Engels, op de dagelijkse ervaringen van expats/internationals in Nederland en in de regio Den Haag in het bijzonder, op hun successen en op de uitdagingen die zij in hun persoonlijke en professionele leven in Nederland kunnen tegenkomen. Bijzonder is dat deze nieuwe, maandelijkse, talkshow inhoudelijk geheel door expat-/international-vrijwilligers gemaakt wordt.

The launch of Expaterience, in May of 2025, heralded the expansion of RTV Discus’ current line-up, signifying its third TV production, alongside the long-standing Dutch-language programs: social issues talk show, Zaterdag Live, and current affairs news magazine, Escampjournaal. Aptly titled Expaterience, the monthly talk show focuses on everyday experiences of expats and internationals living in the Netherlands, on their successes as well as the challenges they may encounter in their personal and professional lives abroad. Of note is that, from launch, contentwise, Expaterience is being made entirely by expat/international volunteers.
