United Kingdom2 years ago - Love the cultural straight talk from Josefine and Sam,, and guests always add value
Our daughter is spending her semester abroad in Copenhagen. We booked a trip to visit her and discovered WTD after searching for Denmark podcasts.
For weeks leading up to our trip, WTD kept me company while I gave my dog his daily walk. I learned a ton - about Danish etiquette and humor, about flyverdragter and Janteloven, and of course about single duvets and winter bathing. I'm embarrassed to admit that I had no idea the history of the Vikings and Denmark, or that New Nordic cuisine was a thi... more

Apple Podcasts5LindsayDoesLanguagesUnited Kingdom4 years ago - I binge-listened to this series!
As a British woman living and working in Denmark, I was delighted to hear about this podcast series and have already recommended it to friends and colleagues. Settling in Denmark is very tough and despite committing to the language, my new husband and life here….it is still a challenge. The constant thought is: ‘is it me?’ This podcast answers that question and many more. I can’t wait for series 2!
