First, it's a trip to a giant mailbox (pictured above, left). Many years ago, this podcast slagged off this mailbox on account of the fact that it's not an actual mailbox you can deposit mail into. </p><p>This prompted a sternly worded email from listener Jogvan Thompsen (pictured above, right), who said we had gotten our story wrong. He also had some notes on other things other podcasts got wrong. In response, I met up with Jogvan the next time I was in the Faroe Islands and he set the record straight. As part of that show, I had wanted to personally apologize to the mailbox ,but that never really happened. But on this podcast, that wrong has been righted. We hear about the history of the mailbox, and why you can't put mail in it anymore. And we apologize.</p><p>Then we remember a ferry crossing, and a moment on song on the boat and how it makes us yearn for a time where we can travel again and reconnect with people and places we love.</p><p>We took the trip as part of a tour offered by a company now known as <a href="https://tora.fo/en/" target="_blank">Tora Tourist</a>.</p><p>As always, you can listen everywhere. We're everywhere. It's amazing you haven't heard the episode already. So break out whatever you listen to podcasts on and do your thing.

On this podcast, we talk all about whisky, or whiskey, depending on how you roll. Runi Nielsen is a well known Faroese activist, an installer of food inspection equipment, and a whiskey aficionado. We'll talk to Runi about how he got such a vast collection and what he loves about it. We'll also hear about the prospect of a Faroese whiskey. (In the time between the interview and the release of this podcast, that whiskey was released and it has received good reviews.)<div><br /></div><div>We'll also get an update on the pandemic, and remember a lovely evening of song ten years ago.</div><div><br /></div><div>As always, you can listen on every single podcasting platform in the world. Well, most of them. We're not on that stupid one that charges you money to listen and doesn't share that money with the podcasters. But you can find us on all the others.

Sounds odd, we know, but somehow it works. We'll talk about how the pandemic is changing life on the islands.</p><p>On this show, Tom makes reference to his quest for an Orkney brew called Skull Splitter.

<br />
Then we'll travel to Vestmanna and look at the dam.<br />

This week, we talk to Guðrið Højgaard, who is the Director of <a href="https://visitfaroeislands.com/" target="_blank">Visit Faroe Islands</a>. These are strange times for people who promote tourism. Borders are closed, people are in lockdown, and almost all flights to and from the Faroe Islands have been cancelled.<br />
<br />
But while things were shutting down, Højgaard and her team came up with <a href="https://www.remote-tourism.com/" target="_blank">Remote Tourism</a>. We'll talk about how Visit Faroe Islands came up with this unique campaign, and the prospects for tourism moving forward.<br />
<br />
Then we'll stand in front of a hotel under construction.<br />

<br />
On this podcast, we talk to SAKARIS. SAKARIS is a Faroese composer, producer, and musician living in Iceland. For the past two months, he's been going into the studio and allowing people to watch as he tries to create a song. Sometimes it goes well. Other times... well...<br />
<br />
But whatever the result, it's a fascinating watch. We'll talk to Sakaris about the thrills and perils of creating with an audience watching, and how deadlines and constraints can make for better art.<br />
<br />
Then we'll go to a forgotten village and search for some history.<br />
<br />

On this week's podcast, we get an update on the COVID-19 infection numbers in the Faroe Islands and listen to a coronavirus-themed opera. (<a href="https://youtu.be/R9CyU8hyQ4w" target="_blank">You can watch that opera here</a>.) For more information about the novel coronavirus in the Faroes, please visit<a href="http://corona.fo/" target="_blank"> the official government site</a>, the <a href="https://kvf.fo/forsida/english" target="_blank">state broadcaster</a>, or <a href="http://local.fo/">Local.fo</a>.<br />
<br />
Then we explore "remote tourism." While the Faroe Islands is currently closed to tourists, you can still explore them remotely. For a limited time, Visit Faroe Islands will allow you to take a tour of Faroese villages, and control the tour guide in real time. Just to be clear, this isn't a simulation, it's a real live person, taking directions from people in real time. To learn more about this intriguing way to see the Faroes, check out <a href="https://www.remote-tourism.com/" target="_blank">Visit Faroe Islands' Remote Tourism site</a>.<br />
<br />
But wait, there's more! We spend the third segment of our show talking to Elin Brimheim Heinesen about life under lockdown in the Faroe Islands. And then she sends us off with a song.<br />

On this episode, we talk to a athlete from Serbia about her time playing Volleyball in the Faroe Islands.<br />
<br />
Then we sit on a beach on Sandoy and listen as the waves break and drain through the stones. This is one of our favorite pieces of field sound we've recorded in the Faroes. We've put out a special edition of the podcast with 30 minutes of those waves, if you're an ASMR-type. You can <a href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/faroepodcast/Bonus_pebbles.mp3" target="_blank">listen to that episode here.</a><br />

Also, we offer a hearty birthday greeting to our friend Sunneva who turned 35, and her club, Sirkus, which turned 10.<br />

On this episode of Home and Away, Stella talks to Gina Thomsen of Peru. Thomsen moved to the Faroe Islands ten years ago. We'll hear how she's coping with the cold, learning Faroese, and why she was hesitant to marry a man she didn't think she could take in a fight.<br />

On this week's show, we play Gekkur. It's kind like a national lottery mixed with bingo, mixed with Dialing for Dollars, mixed with a PBS pledge drive. Is it confusing? Yep. Are there lots of rules? Oh, yeah. Is it a fun way to pass an hour? Definitely.<br />

Home and Away is a show that documents the life of foreigners in the Faroe Islands. On each show, host Stella Zachariassen, a Faroese woman of Sri Lankan descent, talks to someone who immigrated to the Faroes and asks what their lives were like in their country of origin, and how they've adapted to life on the islands. We'll be featuring episodes of Home and Away in the Faroe Islands Podcast feed for the next few months.<br />
<br />
On this first episode, Stella talks to Ved Nagersheth from Mauritius. We hope you enjoy these programs. As always, you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

This week's podcast features an interview with Sandra Brunke, she's a woman from Germany who helps volleyball players from around the world find placement at colleges in places like the USA and Canada. She was interviewed by Oli Samuelsen on FM 1.<br />
<br />
We also hear an extremely short interview with our friend Darius Lewis after KI Klaksvik won the top league in Faroese football (soccer).<br />
<br />
Then we walk through a confusing set of woods that can confound a foreigner, like the host of this podcast, but are actually quite common in the Faroes.<br />

On this podcast, we talk to singer/songwriter Dan Olsen about how he went from football (soccer) to music and then from the Faroes to Austrailia to London. We'll also her a sample of his new song, "Still Be Gone." If you'd like to hear the whole tune, you can listen on the video at the top of the page.<br />
<br />
Then, in honor of Halloween, we revisit the spooky tunnels north of Klaksvik, do some beatboxing, and... maybe... free some troubled spirits?<br />

This week, we catch up with Darius Lewis, the American striker playing for KI Klaksvik. When we last spoke in January, Lewis was preparing to move from his home in Florida to the Faroe Islands. Now that he's had a few months to settle in, we ask what it's like to play football (soccer) so far from home and how life in the Faroes is treating him.<br />
<br />
After that, we stand underneath the newest traffic light in the Faroe Islands.<br />
<br />
At the end of the interview, we mention a Dutch TV story about Darius. You can <a href="https://watch.insight.tv/power-football-1?utm_source=social-media&utm_medium=darius&utm_campaign=promo" target="_blank">find that story here</a>.<br />

This is the one you've been waiting for. It's our special live show we recorded at this year's G! Festival. We'll talk to filmmaker Andrias Høgenni about his film "No Ill Will" and the effects social media has on friendships. Then we'll hear music from Elin Brimheim Heinesen and wrap things up with a meditation on what it means to be in the best place on earth.<br />
<br />
We'll make reference to a series of photos at the start of the show, you can <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/faroepodcast/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10156374764351711" target="_blank">view those photos here</a>.

On this bonus episode of the podcast, we listen to some music from Saint Kodiak. He's a Danish-Faroese singer who left the music business 15 years ago, but returned after being inspired by a hike in the Faroe Islands. We'll hear a song from his new album "Fumes."<br />

On this episode, we look at the changes made at the G! Festival over the past several years. They've opened new stages, changed concessions, found an ingenious way to keep the beach clean, and continued to deliver cutting-edge music from the Faroe Islands and around the world.<br />
<br />
We'll hear music from KATA, Teitur,and Kanska. Then we preview some acts that have already been announced for the 2019 G! Festival, which kicks off next month.<br />

We're headed back to the Faroe Islands to record more episodes of this podcast, and we need just a little help from you. We've set up <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/faroe-islands-podcast-ten-years-and-counting&rcid=r01-15595214236-9480f1cfebf941d6&pc=ot_co_campmgmt_w" target="_blank">a gofundme page</a> and we're asking you to toss a little something into the tip jar. While gofundme appears to have eliminated rewards levels, if you donate at least $35, we'll thank you on the podcast. If you donate$55, we'll send you a post card from the Faroes.<br />

This week, we talk about why some of the Faroe Islands' biggest tourist attractions were closed last weekend, and why 100 volunteers thought the best way to spend a vacation was to do free manual labor. We'll also talk about the threat of overtourism and how the Faroes is trying to balance tourism with preservation.<br />
<br />
Then we visit a tiny village that nobody ever visits.<br />
<br />

This week, we sample the sounds from Elin Brimheim Heinesen's 60th birthday party. It was a wonderful night where everyone was asked to bring a dish to pass, or a song. A lot of people brought songs. We'll listen to the music, sing a little ourselves, and then dance until dawn... literally. The show is basically a love note to a woman who is a dear friend, and a champion of the podcast back in the days when we only had one episode and even fewer listeners.<br />
<br />
Lots of links for this show. If you want to buy Elin's latest album, you can <a href="http://tutlrecords.com/products_show.php?ProductId=1046&fbclid=IwAR0NmCrGD5tlW5e4jrVxPvU4pYb8OXaccJ6fMQkzboU7BLxpNtDqZEEVVPc" target="_blank">find it at the Tutl store</a> and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/dk/album/handan-stj%C3%B8rnurnar/1406252217?fbclid=IwAR2WIBxizb0XqS_qoFjKk5-_4uSo7QCI0ksFXFDENe7NiatM5aeTfviWQ4E" target="_blank">on iTunes</a>.<br />
