The Faroe Islands Podcast


The Faroe Islands Podcast explores the news, culture, and politics of the Faroe Islands... and it's in English so you can understand it.

Sep 9, 2010

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.
