Podcast 161: Heidrik

This week, we talk to musician/writer/director Heidrik about his music, films, and what it means to be Faroese. We'll also listen to his song "Blonde"

Then we head out to a church and cemetery (pictured above) located right next to a fish factory (not pictured above).

And now there are two more places you can listen, we're featured on the No Agenda Stream and on Stitcher.

Show extras:

You can hear more music from Heidrik on his Soundcloud page here.

Heidrik's short films and music videos are on YouTube here.

And below, you can find Heidrik's video for "Blonde." As we mentioned in the show, it contains material not recommended for people under 18 and is certainly NSFW (not safe/suitable for work).

Podcast 159: Faroes Meets France

Photo credit: Arne List
This week, we visit the French Consulate in the Faroe Islands. Yes, it actually exists and it's the home of Hanna Jensen. She teaches French in Gota, and has developed a deep love of France. So when the French government was looking for someone to be their consular officer in the Faroes, they knew just who to ask. We'll talk to Hanna about what the job is like.

Then we'll head 500 feet underground and take in some sound-art (pictured above).

As always, you can listen on iTunes, on our media player above, or you can download the show directly here:
