The Faroe Islands Podcast

This week, we talk to Agnes Mortensen, a Faroese woman studying at the University of New Hampshire. We talk about Faroese ideas about America, and American ideas about the Faroes. Then we sit on a windy hillside in Argir.

This week, we talk to Janus Hansen, who works at Torshavn's Natural History Museum. We talk about the stunning Faroese landscape, and how the treeless, windswept images you see may a symptom of centuries of overgrazing.

 

Then we head out to a windy football pitch and try to score some goals.
