Denmark3 years ago - A perfect podcast for lovers of Denmark
Discovered this podcast on a search for podcasts in English about Denmark (my Danish is pretty rudimentary!). Absolutely love it, a wide range of interesting subjects, fascinating interviews and it’s also great to hear the interviewees, many books added to my Wishlist and following a lot of interesting Danes on Twitter now. Keep it up please, also now downloaded The Danish Debate which is my next listen.

United Kingdom5 years ago - First class!
Have literally just finished the last available episode of this series. Discovered it by chance when I was browsing social media. It’s a fantastic set of insights into life in general, and linked to life in Denmark in particular. I’m a Scandiphile (that’s why I started listening) but this is more than just a homage to Denmark and a tribute to its social, artistic, and cultural life. Can’t wait to get Season 3 (there will be a Season 3...please say yes Mothertongue Media)! 👏

Archipelago is an excellent podcast that is well researched and presented. Although I haven’t spent much time in Denmark myself, I can still relate to many of the topics that are discussed and learn something new each time.
