Podcast 63: The Icelandic Snub


This week, we discuss the visit to the Faroes by Icelandic Prime Minister Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir and the controversy that came after a Faroese MP refused to dine with Sigurðardóttir because of her sexual orientation.

The program is a casual, mostly-unedited conversation with Arni Zachariassen, a Faroese theology student living in Aberdeen. He wrote an open letter to the Icelandic PM that has been cited by many news outlets covering the story. You can read Arni's letter here.
