What Are You Doing in Denmark?

In this episode, Derek, Brooke, and Conrad help a listener who’s considering a move by breaking down what she and her family should explore beyond the tourist hotspots. What will make the visit feel authentic and what everyday realities might surprise you? Joining the conversation is Adrian MacKinder, writer, comedian, and friend of the show who made the leap to Denmark himself. Together, we share the must-visit spots that give a real sense of life in Copenhagen—both the good and the “you should probably know about this.” Plus, Brooke and Conrad reflect on their experiences moving to Jutland, how life outside the capital differs, and what they’d recommend for families considering a move beyond Copenhagen. With different perspectives from big-city and small-town moves, this episode is your essential guide to experiencing Denmark like a local before making the big decision. 🎟️ Tickets for our LIVE SHOW on 6 May at Copenhagen's Comedy Zoo Get Tickets Here [https://comedyzoo.dk/?ytroute=%2Farrangementer%2F48790%2Fwhat-are-you-doing-in-denmark-live-podcast%2F] 🗣️ You can leave your own voice note for us here: speakpipe.com/waydid [https://open.acast.com/networks/679262167ecca5646b2d5ada/shows/64ce8aa990d002001133d0dd/episodes/speakpipe.com/waydid] or email hello@robe-trotting.com Share this podcast with any friends who have made the move to Denmark.

In this episode, Brooke, Conrad, and Derek are joined by friend of the show, Adrian MacKinder to discuss the week's news in Denmark. You'll hear a discussion on America's egg shortage and why the US asked Denmark to buy surplus egg shipments. This leads into a debate on the merit of Danes organizing a boycott of American goods - is it a shortsighted, a solution for change, or virtue signaling?

In this episode, we explore the difficulties of learning Danish through a listener message. Mei from Taiwan, and part of the WAYDID community, shares her frustrating experience learning Danish and being quizzed and mocked by Danish acquaintances on her progress. We discuss the demotivating forces that can plague foreigners learning Danish and the ways in which Danes are knowingly or unknowingly making it harder for international folks to learn the language. Conrad, Brooke, and Derek break down their own experiences learning Danish and the specific influences from the Danes in their lives. And of course, a Dane weighs in to round out the panel as Steven Feraru shares his opinions and experiences with language and communicating with non-Danish speakers from the native perspective. 🗣️ If you have an experience you'd like to share or a question to pose to the show, you can leave your own voice note for us through this link: speakpipe.com/waydid [speakpipe.com/waydid] or email hello@robe-trotting.com Don’t forget to share this podcast with any friends who have made the move to Denmark.
