Podcast 167: Nordic Cool/House

This week, our last report from the Kennedy Center's Nordic Cool Festival.

We'll talk to a woman who is a project leader at the Nordic House in Torshavn, which is sort of like the Kennedy Center of the Faroe Islands. The Nordic House turns 30 this May, and organizers are already planning the party.

Then we'll hear a little music from Yggdrasil, the jazz combo fronted by Kristian Blak.

And finally, we'll stand outside the Kennedy Center and look at the art display projected onto the center's walls and attempt to sum up this month-long festival.

As always, you can listen on our media player at the top of this page, on iTunes, on Stitcher, or on the No Agenda stream. Or you can download the show directly here:
