Kalak er heiti á vinafélagi Grænlands og Íslands var stofnað í mars árið 1992. Markmið KALAK er að vinna að auknum samskiptum Íslands og Grænlands, einkum á sviði félags- og menningarmála. Félagið hefur gegnum tíðina haldið fjölmörg mynda- og fræðslukvöld, staðið fyrir grænlenskum dögum og stutt við samfélagsleg verkefni á Grænlandi, sérstaklega í þágu ungs fólks. Stærsta verkefni KALAK hefur verið heimsókn 12-13 ára barna, frá litlu þorpunum á austurströnd Grænlands. Hingað hafa þau komið ásamt fylgdarliði kennara og til dæmis sótt skóla í Kópavogi, þar sem þau kynnast jafnöldrum. KALAK hefur líka frá upphafi tekið virkan þátt í skáklandnámi og verkefnum Hróksins á Grænlandi. Jósep Gíslason formaður og Skúli Pálsson gjaldkeri komu í þáttinn í dag.

Mikilvægi þess að vera á sömu blaðsíðu í fjármálum í sambandi eða hjónabandi. Lesandi vikunnar í þetta sinn var svo Þórhildur Þorkelsdóttir framkvæmdastjóri hjá ráðgjafafyrirtækinu Brú Strategy, hlaðvarpsstjórnandi og dagskrárgerðarkona. Hún sagði okkur hvaða bækur hún hefur verið að lesa undanfarið og hvaða bækur og höfundar hafa haft mest áhrif á hana í gegnum tíðina. Þórhildur talaði um eftirfarandi bækur og höfunda: Þúsund bjartar sólir e. Khaled Hosseini Small things like these e. Klare Ceegan Karitas án titils / Óreiða á striga e. Kristín Marja Baldursdóttir Everything I know about love e. Dolly Alderton Á milli landshorna e. Sigurður Sigurmundsson frá Hvítárdal (afi Þórhildar) Bróðir minn ljónshjarta e.

Keir Starmer may have been enduring stormy weather since winning power – but is the sky really falling in, as parts of the media think? And why are so many UK commentators and pundits addicted to the idea that we're living in times of ultimate crisis? Plus, it's 100 days since Kemi Badenoch took on the Tory leadership. Has she turned the party's fortunes around and made her party a laughing stock no longer? No, no she hasn't. Why not? And what type of leader has she shown herself to be?  • We're on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow   Our panel's Escape Routes: • Hannah's choice is 4,000 Weeks by Oliver Burkemann. • Rachel chooses Good Material by Dolly Alderton. • Andrew's choices of We Stand On Guard and Ever Crashing by SRSQ.  • Alison chooses Persuasion by Jane Austen.  www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Andrew Harrison with Hannah Fearn, Rachel Cunliffe and Alison Phillips.

When The NY Times named Alderton's GOOD MATERIAL one of the best 10 books of 2024, Kimberly knew it was time to dig in. Listen as she deepens your understanding of the male narrative voice, the excellent figurative language, the supposed "double ending" and Alderton's CRUCIAL SUBVERSION of the marriage plot. Tune in to Kimberly's argument for why this (anti)-rom-com (?!) BELONGS in the company of literary heavyweights like Miranda July's ALL FOURS, Percival Everett's JAMES and Álvaro Enrigue's YOU DREAMED OF EMPIRES. Finally, DO NOT MISS Kimberly's hottest of hot takes!

It's the penultimate episode of Everything is Content for 2024! Sadly Beth was travelling this week, so Oenone and Ruchira lead this very special extra episode. This week, the girls are in conversation with *the Emma Appleton*. You might know her as the lead from Dolly Alderton's BBC adaptation of her memoir, Everything I Know About Love, but she's now leading Paramount's new rom-com series The Road Trip, based on the book of the same name by bestselling author Beth O'Leary. The six part series starts with a wedding trip to Spain which takes an unexpected turn for Addie (played by Emma) and her sister Deb, when they're forced to share a campervan with Addie's ex Dylan, his friend Marcus, and a stranger Rodney. Here at EIC headquarters we can confirm the series is a gorgeous look at relationships in your 20s, navigating life and what happens when it all goes wrong. The Road Trip will be available to stream on Paramount+ from 26th December 2024. You can follow Emma on instagram @emmajappleton.Please do let us know if there are any other guests you'd love to hear from, you can message us @everythingiscontentpod on Instagram. Hosted on Acast.

Following our Top 10 Books of 2024 episode, we are re-running our book club discussion about one of the novels on our year-end list: "Good Material."How to explain the British writer Dolly Alderton to an American audience? It might be best to let her work speak for itself — it certainly does! — but Alderton is such a cultural phenomenon in her native England that some context is probably helpful: “Like Nora Ephron, With a British Twist” is the way The New York Times Book Review put it when we reviewed her latest novel, “Good Material,” earlier this year.“Good Material” tells the story of a down-on-his-luck stand-up comic dealing with a broken heart, and it has won Alderton enthusiastic fans in America. In this episode, the Book Review's MJ Franklin discusses the book with his colleagues Emily Eakin and Leah Greenblatt.  Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

Today's conversation is dedicated to the many loves that make up our lives—especially that of our friends. Dolly Alderton is a Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling writer and memoirist. She recognizes the great gift of the friends who have walked with her through many seasons of life—all the highs and lows and inbetweens.  In this conversation, Kate and Dolly discuss: The great loves that make up a life The push-pull of loving relationships with your body  The power of witness If you liked this conversation, you'll also like: Liz Gilbert on fostering creative lives Sarah Bessey on living inside our (actual) bodies Tim Omundson and Joel McHale on being a friend through hard times   Watch clips from this conversation, read the full transcript, and access discussion questions by clicking here or visiting katebowler.com/podcasts.

British author and journalist, Dolly Alderton, recently claimed that the internet has made us all dress the same. Have influencers and algorithms stolen our sense of individuality when it comes to fashion? We asked Image Consultant and Owner of The Style Bob, Aoife Dunican.

We didn't think celeb breakups could get bigger than Maya and Stormzy, or Bennifer, but now Molly Mae and Tommy Fury have just proven that this very much is the year of the celeb breakup (and it's killing us!!). We try to understand why we're all taking it so personally, and assess the very icky rumours surrounding Tommy's recent trip to Macedonia as well as the friction between Molly's boss bitch success and the Fury's traditional values. We're also devo to report that our faves Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter may have joined the heartbreak train. Plus, Ellie gives us the verdict on Zoe Kravitz's buzzy directorial debut Blink Twice, a sinister horror film seemingly inspired by Jeffrey Epstein's ‘paedo island'. And of course we had to debrief on Dolly Aderton's interview with the Sunday Times (anyone else have a Dolly Google Alert..?).

Welcome to the hiatus! We are taking a short break from uploading new episodes over the summer, and we've had a lovely scattering of new subscribers, so it feels like a good time to dip into the back catalogue to share a couple of favourites that you might not have heard if you've joined us recently. First up, it's the first EVER episode, with one of my absolute favourite people, Dolly Alderton. I have known Dolly since she was 16, so have really been there for the full range of crush madness. And she's an absolute champion crusher. I'm not just going to put the first three episodes out, by the way, some thought has gone into this. But it's such a good episode, I couldn't resist. Hope you like! lots of love Margaret! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

He is probably most well-known for being the founder of The Pound Project which has sold thousands of books to more than 100+ countries worldwide, is known for paying authors an equal share and a former winner of The Bookseller's Futurebook Startup of the Year award. The company started with a frustration with the industry and has grown into a really incredible place that allows writers and creatives to thrive. The Pound Project is a publisher but it's also a movement. It cares about the environment by only printing what is sold, and cares about authors getting paid. The tagline says it all: “small change, one story at a time”.In 2018, I published a book called Sabotage through The Pound Project. Back then, the money was raised via Kickstarter, and we had over 1,300 backers and raised over £10k+ to bring the book to life. It felt new, exciting and really creatively fulfilling. Following that project, I got a book deal to turn Sabotage into a slightly longer book with publisher Hodder & Stoughton.Publishing with The Pound Project, from my perspective as an author, is such a fun and joyful experience. I wrote about all the surprising joys of indie publishing here including the financial share (50:50 split), the creative control, the transparency and a whole lot more.This year, I published a new book with The Pound Project called A Year of Nothing, a short memoir split across two books chronicling my burnout year underground. We got press in The Guardian, i, ELLE, Australian TV plus tons more and sold 3,000 copies. It proved that there is a market for smaller books and we had a ton of fun doing it. ps. If you missed out on the publication of A Year of Nothing, make sure you're following The Pound Project and The Hyphen newsletter in case it is ever re-released (which it might be!)

How to explain the British writer Dolly Alderton to an American audience? It might be best to let her work speak for itself — it certainly does! — but Alderton is such a cultural phenomenon in her native England that some context is probably helpful: “Like Nora Ephron, With a British Twist” is the way The New York Times Book Review put it when we reviewed her latest novel, “Good Material,” earlier this year.“Good Material” tells the story of a down-on-his-luck stand-up comic dealing with a broken heart, and it has won Alderton enthusiastic fans in America. In this week's episode, the Book Review's MJ Franklin discusses the book with his colleagues Emily Eakin and Leah Greenblatt. Caution: Spoilers abound!
