The Faroe Islands Podcast

This week, the last part of our coverage of the 2015 total solar eclipse in the Faroe Islands. We talk to eclipse chaser Kate Russo about her experience watching the eclipse, and her impressions of the Faroe Islands now that she's returned home to Northern Ireland.

Also, we visit a village on Vagar that gets lots of traffic but little tourist love, and we'll see who won this year's Podcast Awards.

This week, we talk to Birgir Kruse about putting together a Faroese atlas of the world. (Spoiler alert: it's WAY more complicated than you'd imagine.)

Then we'll visit a village with not many people, but a lot of friendly ducks.

This week we talk to comedian and politician Sjurdur Skaale. He's one of the most famous comedians in the Faroe Islands, and was one of the most prominent advocates for Faroese independence. However, he's switched parties and recently got elected to represent the Faroes in the Danish parliament. We ask Sjurdur about the change in heart, and what it's like serving in another country's parliament.

Then we buy an expensive tank of gas.

On this episode, we talk to award-winning American poet Mark Wunderlich about his recent poetry reading in Torshavn, and take a trip to Toftir

Look out for this special tongue twister: "top Twitter trending topic."

This week, part two of our conversation with David Scally, the Manchester City football fan whose attempt to see his beloved Blues made international news. In part two, Scally is getting reado to return home after his adventures, but something goes terribly wrong.

Also, we check in on various Faroese singers engaged in televised contests, and see who the Faroes drew for Euro 2012.
