  • Engaging, informative and useful

    Love this podcast—the content and topics are engaging and informative, and we found it very useful as we planned for a trip to Iceland. There was a lot of “oh, I know what that is—I heard about it on the RUV English podcast!” and “I was listening to the RUV English podcast and learned that…”. And now that we are back home, we still feel connected to what’s happening. So thank you very much Darren and the whole team for all your great work!
