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).

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 160: Birgir in America

This week, we listen in as Faroese man and noted interesting-person Birgir Kruse walks through San Francisco and makes friends with the natives. What starts as a simple struggle to find a cab on a Saturday night turns into a 9-way conversation on one of the world's most famous streets.

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).
