#25 MAYBE THE SHEEP ARE TOO PICKY
Well, shit, 2020 sure took a turn for the worse, but Jonas and Lydia soldier on. Iceland is approaching Covid-19-free status and gasoline has been thrown onto the dumpster fire that is their homeland (that's the US of A). With all of that in mind, in this episode, they dig in to what's really been happening in Iceland. Has Iceland beat the pandemic? Is it because the prime minister is a woman? How many black people actually live in Iceland? Is racism a thing in Iceland? And most importantly, what color is Iceland's parachute? Cause the total dependence on tourism thing is not working. Now if we could only monetize those sheep...

#24 It Has Nothing to Do With the Age of the Plane
#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.

#26 The “Horses” are Definitely Not Too Small & Other Icelandic Problems
Turmoil is still the watchword of 2020. Lydia and Jonas give updates on how things are going in Iceland during this turbulent time, including the local media’s shitty coverage of the fire that claimed the lives of three immigrants, how Black Lives Matter (and don’t) on the island, a little Iceland pride month stocktaking (spoiler: meh) and what the Netflix film “Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga” gets right and wrong about Iceland.
