Too much random chatting. Too long episodes.
Podcast Addict22 years agoCyclorbit- Nice idea...
Like the idea of the talk with all kind of foreigners that have a connection to Finland or got stuck there. :) myself being German I lived in HKI back in 2007 and been back to Finland multiple times per year since. Especially for Vappu.

Found this podcast after following on FB. Love the concept but did it hard to follow the conversation as the hosts often talk over each other and the sound quality to set the greatest. Topics are fun though even if they sometimes go on a bit long!

That’s right - stealing Joel’s favourite word - this is a über funny and entertaining show both poking fun of every Finnish gaffe and spreading good ideas born in the lan of 100,000 lakes. Icebreaker’s history was simply fascinating. Recommended!
Apple Podcasts5@DJVassalloUnited Kingdom7 years ago - A fab podcast!
Cool to listen to the guys rambling on about Finnish things, tongue-in-cheek. Helps me see my home country in a new, more interesting light!. Just note, as the disclaimer says, parental avisory for explicit content applies ;)
