EP: Faroes Via London With a Splash of USA

On this episode, we travel to London to meet up with Kate Sanderson. She's the Head of Representation of the Faroe Islands to the United Kingdom. It's kind of like an ambassador, but with many more words in the title. We'll talk about representing the Faroes in the UK and the life of a Faroese diplomat. Then we head to the center of Torshavn and accidentally participate in a church service.

EP 379: G! Festival 2025 Preview

On this episode, we talk to out good friend Hogni about this year's G! Festival. We'll hear about the crowd pleasers, emerging artists, and the occasional curve ball that make the festival what it is. Then we'll listen to a silent disco, which is a little difficult due to the whole "silent" part. Also, we're raising money for a new season of podcasts, if you want to pitch in, here's the link [https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-faroe-islands-podcast-dont-call-it-a-comeback].

EP 378: The Boat We Cannot Spell

On this episode, we learn the history of a Faroese boat whose name, translated into English is "Northern Lights" but whose Faroese name contains characters this American keyboard doesn't have. The creators of this podcast thought the boat was a sailing ship from the late 1800s. Turns out, we couldn't have been farther from the truth. Step onboard as we learn the unexpected history of an iconic Faroese ship.

EP 377: Sakaras and the Work of Creativity

On this episode, we talk to one of our favorite Faroese musicians, Sakaris. We'll revisit his performance at the 2023 G! Festival and talk about what it takes to write a great song (hint: it often involves writing a lot of bad songs first.) Sakaris has put out a new single [https://youtu.be/6crk7a4vTYI?si=RqQe-3Cit9LoN_GV], it's well worth a listen. We'll also talk a little about Sissal, the Faroese singer who made it to the finals of the Eurovision Song Contest, making her the first Faroese person to achieve that. You can hear her song here.
