  • I love this show.

    Danish Originals brings such interesting voices from Denmark to life, from creatives to entrepreneurs. Really well produced and the conversations feel natural and insightful. As an American listener, I find the directness and style so refreshing. It’s a perspective we don’t often get, and it makes every episode worth the listen.

  • Original Danish

    Danish Originals is a colorful and insightful original podcast portrait gallery of personal journeys in dialogue between Denmark and the U.S.

    A wonderful idea and production by AFSMK/SMK. The merging with a selection of an art piece from SMK’s, The Danish National Gallery’s collection is a fine touch, that adds yet another dimension to the individual podcast portraits while highlighting the museum’s collection and engaging in the cultural exchange that motivates AFSMK work.
