  • Uninteresting podcast

    Hosted by three unfunny guys who constantly interrupt each other. Often embarrassing. Who is the target audience? Foreigners living in Iceland? Foreign audiences? We don't learn any interesting information. It's like a barroom discussion. It was way more interesting with Valur Grettisson...

  • Great way to learn a little about Iceland

    We are planning to visit Iceland later this summer so it has been really great to learn a little about the politics and culture. The podcast is smart, casual, and funny. The hosts are charming. Love it!

  • The Icelandic Roundup does it again!

    This podcast ( like everything else The Reykjavík Grapevine does ), just keeps getting better and better. Congrats on reaching the 10th episode. I was stunned to learn more about the renting/housing market problems. This was very informative. I look forward to every Tuesday for the latest news in Iceland via this podcast. Always something new to learn and Valur and Josie are always a delight to hear. 😉 Five Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
