#28 Vicarious Vacays: Part 2

The Raisin at the Hot Dog's End

09/07/20 • 77 min

Take a vicarious virus-free vacay with the Raisin at the Hot Dog's End as your fearless hosts explore this ghost town of an island (cue tumbleweed) after the tourist pipe got shut off in this two-part episode. So dust off your virtual luggage and come take a trip with us around Iceland.

In Part 2, Jonas and friends explore the northern and southern reaches of Iceland, including the Sardinia of the North (if you kind of blur your eyes), Ólafsfjörður, and Iceland's very own volcanic (and Morman-loving) darlings, the Westman Islands. Lydia and Jonas both visit the island of Hrísey but with two completely different perspectives.

Places mentioned in this episode:

Hvammstangi
Ólafsfjörður
Siglufjörður
Dalvík
Laugarbakki
Hrísey
Vestmannaeyjar

The Raisin at the Hot Dog's End

08/31/20 • 42 min

Part 1, in which Jonas and Lydia do some light, requisite whining about the locals' distaste for following rules set out to combat Iceland's second Covid wave. But changing gears they regale you with the details of their extravagant, extensive travels this summer on the island that Covid forgot (for the most part, at least until August). But there's trouble in paradise when the gear gods throw a wrench in Lydia's ride and the old Isuzu is put to the test.

Seljalandsfoss
Gljúfrabúi
Skogafoss
Skogar Museum
Icelandic Museum of Transport and Communication
DC3 Wreck at Sólheimar

#24 IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AGE OF THE PLANE

Jonas and Lydia are hunkered down for winter and in Iceland, winter never seems to end. The weather is shit, there’s little to no sunlight and sickness is inescapable. The hopes and dreams of the new year are dashed having barely taken their first breaths. The winter wonderland effect quickly wears thin once the smoke from the fireworks clears. But there are upsides. There’s the Winter Festival and the Lenten season with it’s cream puffs and bean soup. Actually, just don’t look behind the curtain and we promise it has absolutely nothing to do with the age of the plane...most likely.

#23 GENDER SNAPS/CRAMPONS BY CRAMPAX

Jonas and Lydia bring you the signs of Icelandic winter to come and discuss how they prepare for the impending Christmas mirth and post holidays gloom. Along the way they delve into Swedish and Danish (languages and food packaging), gender havoc, etymology, Jonas’ favorite tea and sprinkle in some ASMR treats. Hashtag ASMR (that’s how hashtags work right?).

Flowers commonly used in blooming/flowering green tea: globe amaranth, chrysanthemum, jasmine, lily, hibiscus, and osmanthus.

#21 THICKLY SETTLED

On a beautiful day in sunny Reykjavík, Iceland, Jonas and Lydia talk whale carcasses, the effectiveness of tourism boycotts, Eurovision, abortion bans and what it really means to be thickly settled. Summer 2019 is off to a simply smashing start!

#20 Too Sexy For Your Eagle

Happy anniversary little raisins! It's been one year since Jonas and Lydia first plugged in the old Snowball mic and let you listen in on their therapy sessions cleverly disguised as a podcast. You're welcome. On this week's episode they talk Iceland’s disproportionate glut of holidays (First Day of Summer and 2nd Day of Easter followed by an all-you-can-Feast of the Ascension), the country’s grand plan to save the world, cars (they're terrible) vs. pedestrian streets and the sexy trouples of the avian world.

#19 Everything is Fine

Spring has sprung in Iceland but the spring spirit has yet to take hold. Jonas and Lydia are a bit down in the doldrums but there are some bright spots, some metaphorical crocuses if you will, peeping through the dirt that is everyday (sometimes shitty) life— good food and literary festivals. Read a book. Happy Easter?

BACK TO THE DARK SIDE

The shadow of the cold, clammy hands of winter's dark is falling across Iceland and getting Jonas and Lydia in the mood--not that kind of mood, get your minds' out of the gutter--in the mood for scary stories. Jonas brings us the tale of a Deacon who is a little too determined to keep his date in "Deacon of Dark River/Djákinn á Myrká" and Lydia gets to the root of all evil in "Drangey Consecrated." Bless, bless and Happy Halloween y'all!
