I’m Joe Litobarski, a freelance British journalist. I live in Maastricht, in the southern Netherlands, with my wife and two daughters.

I’m the co-founder and editor of Debating Europe, an online discussion platform focusing on European politics.

As a journalist, I’ve interviewed hundreds of politicians from across Europe, including prime ministers, presidents, government ministers, European commissioners, MEPs, and national MPs.

I’m an experienced moderator of panel discussions and online debates.

I’m also a lover of gloriously trashy sci-fi, fantasy, and horror paperbacks, as well as British comics, computer games, and tabletop roleplaying games from the 1970s and ’80s. I write about British old-school gaming at UncaringCosmos.com.
