Episode 5: Only In Denmark.....

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 4, 2019 17:43


This episode is an example of one of the cultural differences between Denmark and...... probably most countries in the world. A Danish friend of mine, who often sends me interesting links to Danish history and culture, sent me a link. He simply wrote 'Only In Denmark.' It turned out to be a link to a national Danish television channel which is aimed primarily at children from 7-12yrs old. It is an educational program where children can ask adults questions about their bodies. The program is in Danish but I have translated the main questions, and answers, into English in the Podcast. This particular one is about the penis. On the show you will see five men completely naked from the waist down. IF HUMAN NUDITY OFFENDS YOU, PLEASE DON'T WATCH IT! If you do want to see the actual program click HERE. If the above link doesn't work (Looks like it doesn't work on Apple Podcast) just go to www.eyeseecopenhagen.com and go to the Podcast section. The link will work from there. I am very interested to hear what people from around the world think of this show and if you think it would ever be aired on a children's channel in your area.

Eye See Copenhagen Intro

Welcome to Eye See Copenhagen! My name is Jim Lind and I moved from Scotland to Copenhagen in 2012. In late 2015 I started to use a live streaming app called Periscope to show Copenhagen to people all around the world and talk to them about what it's like living here as an expat. I talk about the history, the culture, the architecture, the bicycles, the hotdogs....... basically, everything and anything to do with Copenhagen and Denmark. I have now done over 490 'Scopes', mainly involving Copenhagen. Earlier this year I was Scoping the Hans Christian Andersen statue, which sits next to Copenhagen City Hall. While I was there I suddenly though 'What do people actually know about Hans Christian Andersen?' So I asked the people who were watching from around the world. Their answers varied, from knowing a little to knowing nothing at all. That was the spark for this Podcast channel.....
