  • Norway Obsessed!

    I’m a big time travel geek and so a friend recommended Beforeigners to me. I couldn’t stop talking about it, which bored my other friends, and so I started listening to this podcast’s episodes on Beforeignors. Love you guys! I feel like I’m one of you, part of the circle, just hanging out and chatting about our favorite TV shows. Because of you, I’m about to start Occupied. And because of you, and these great shows, I’m coming to Norway! That’s right, my next vacation starts tomorrow, and I’m he... more

  • Kjempebra!

    Really grateful for this podcast as a lover of Norway and Norwegian culture, and perhaps someday a Norwegian citizen. The insights into the culture they provide through the recaps are really great, and I appreciate this a lot (even when Erlind comes off as pretentious).

  • Loved Occupied and Nobel Podcasts - waiting for Beforeigners!

    Really thoughtful and insightful podcasts on Norwegian shows and movies. Listened first to Occupied and then Nobel the insights added from the group on Norwegian culture and general movie critique made those shows more resonant for me. Can’t wait for the Beforeigners Podcast Episodes as some of the same folks behind Occupied were involved with that show. Awesome modern social satire and insights! Cover Beforeigners! Needs the Pod for Norge Treatment.

  • High hopes

    Just finished season 3. Half way in, things stopped making sense to us. Really hoping this show will either clarify or confirm that things stopped making sense! E.g. Jesper was not behind Anita’s assassination (Vold was), so why does he seem to think Russia would have evidence that he was???

  • A great insight into Norway...

    This podcast is very interesting, you don't even need to watch the TV show to enjoy it. Jack is a good moderator and (not going to try and pronounce her name) the girl from Norway provides the insight and details that just enhances the experience and elevates the podcast.
