Henover sommeren deler vi nogle af vores bedste serier med dig. En mørk aften i november 2023 mødes to 15-årige drenge på en øde perron på Grenaa station. Vito har aldrig før lavet kriminalitet eller gået med kniv, men den aften er han bange for at få tæsk, og derfor træffer han en beslutning, der skal vise sig at få fatale konsekvenser. I første episode af ’Efter drabet’ spoler vi tiden tilbage til perioden op til den aften, hvor alt ændrer sig. Det hele er ellers lige begyndt at gå bedre for Vito. Han har lige mødt Freja – og så har han startet et nyt band. Men så ringer telefonen. Det er den jævnaldrende Malthe, der vil mødes. Over flere måneder har Jyllands-Posten fået unik adgang til ungdomsfængslet og besøgt Vito, og gennem samtaler med ham og Vitos egne indtalte dagbøger fortæller vi nu hans historie. For hvad skete der på perronen på Grenaa station i de skæbnesvangre sekunder? Og hvad gør det ved en helt almindelig teenager at begå den værst tænkelige forbrydelse? Malthes bonusmor har lyttet til serien. Hun siger, at det er en vigtig historie, Vito fortæller, og et vigtigt budskab, han kommer med. Læs interviewet med hende her. Du finder hele Jyllands-Postens afdækning af sagen fra Grenaa her. Hvad kan vi lære af drabsmanden Vito?

Transcript:Da: Under de brostenbelagte gader i København lå en glemt verden, mørk og stille.En: Beneath the cobblestone streets of København lay a forgotten world, dark and silent.Da: Freja, Mikkel og Jens kiggede rundt i den støvede bunker.En: Freja, Mikkel, and Jens looked around the dusty bunker.Da: Freja huskede med et stød af ængstelse sine barndomsminder om tordenvejr — den gang, da lynet havde slået ned i deres nabos hus og alt blev mørkt.En: Freja remembered with a jolt of anxiety her childhood memories of thunderstorms — the time when lightning had struck their neighbor's house, and everything went dark.Da: "Vi skal gøre klar," sagde Freja fast.En: "We need to get ready," Freja said firmly.Da: Den forestående sommerstorm truede over byen, og bunkerens stand var forfærdelig.En: The impending summer storm loomed over the city, and the bunker's condition was dreadful.Da: Malingen skallede af væggene, og den svage lugt af indelukket luft fyldte rummet.En: Paint was peeling off the walls, and the faint smell of stale air filled the room.Da: I hjørnet stod nogle få gamle feltsenge og en bunke af støvede konservesdåser.En: In the corner stood a few old canvas cots and a pile of dusty canned goods.Da: En enkelt glødende pære gav et flakkende lys, der kastede skygger over de forladte hylder.En: A single glowing bulb gave flickering light that cast shadows over the abandoned shelves.Da: Mikkel, altid ivrig efter et eventyr, råbte: "Jeg kan finde flere forsyninger!En: Mikkel, always eager for an adventure, shouted, "I can find more supplies!Da: Vi har brug for mad, vand og lys."En: We need food, water, and light."Da: Han smilte, trods det alvorlige arbejde foran dem.En: He smiled, despite the serious task ahead.Da: "Jens," begyndte Freja med en roligere tone, "kan du hjælpe med at sikre dørene og vinduerne?En: "Jens," Freja began in a calmer tone, "can you help secure the doors and windows?Da: Vi kan ikke være for forsigtige."En: We can't be too careful."Da: Jens nikkede med sin varme pålidelighed, der uden ord beroligede Frejas indre uro.En: Jens nodded with a warmth and reliability that wordlessly calmed Freja's inner turmoil.Da: De tre satte sig i gang med beslutsomhed.En: The three set to work with determination.Da: Mikkel forlod bunkeren for at finde forsyninger i den nærliggende købmand.En: Mikkel left the bunker to find supplies at the nearby store.Da: Jens brugte hverdagens genstande for at forstærke de gamle døre og sikre, at intet uventet kom snigende ind.En: Jens used everyday objects to reinforce the old doors and ensure that nothing unexpected could sneak in.Da: Inden længe begyndte regnen at tromme mod overfladen.En: Before long, the rain began to drum against the surface.Da: Vindens hyl blæste gennem ventilationssystemet, og Frejas hjerte slog hurtigere.En: The howling wind blew through the ventilation system, and Freja's heart beat faster.Da: Hun fortalte sig selv, at alt var under kontrol — de havde Jens' ro og Mikkels optimisme.En: She told herself that everything was under control — they had Jens' calmness and Mikkel's optimism.Da: Pludselig, midt i stormens rasen udenfor, slog et lyn ned tæt ved.En: Suddenly, in the midst of the storm's raging outside, a lightning bolt struck nearby.Da: Et øjeblik brød Annas værste frygt fri.En: For a moment, Freja's worst fear broke free.Da: Bunkeren blev kastet i dybt mørke.En: The bunker was plunged into deep darkness.Da: Panik skyllede ind over hende, men før den kunne overtage, tog hun en dyb indånding.En: Panic washed over her, but before it could take over, she took a deep breath.Da: Hun huskede Jens' beroligende stemme og Mikkels barnlige tillid.En: She remembered Jens' soothing voice and Mikkel's childlike confidence.Da: De var her for hende.En: They were there for her.Da: "Vi gør det sammen," sagde Jens roligt og strakte hånden ud.En: "We'll do it together," said Jens calmly, reaching out his hand.Da: Mikkel tændte en lommelygte, hans smil endnu bredt i det dansende skær.En: Mikkel turned on a flashlight, his smile still wide in the dancing beam.Da: "Intet problem!En: "No problem!Da: Vi har lanterner."En: We have lanterns."Da: Freja var hurtigt med dem, satte de små nødlys rundt omkring.En: Freja quickly joined them, setting up small emergency lights all around.Da: Mørket bøjede sig for lysets lette flakker, og som rummet blev oplyst, opløstes også Frejas frygt.En: The darkness bowed to the soft flicker of light, and as the room lit up, Freja's fear also dissolved.Da: Sammen sad de omkring det svage skær af lanternerne, lyttede til regnen og stormens dalende rasen udenfor.En: Together, they sat around the faint glow of the lanterns, listening to the rain and the storm's waning rage outside.Da: I det øjeblik fandt Freja en ny styrke indeni.En: In that moment, Freja found a new strength within.Da: Hun vidste, at hun ikke længere var alene, at frygten ikke kunne styre hende.En: She knew she was no longer alone, that fear could not control her.Da: Da stormen langsomt døde ud, sad de stadig sammen, nærmere hinanden end nogensinde.En: As the storm slowly died down, they still sat together, closer to each other than ever.Da: Freja så på sine venner og tænkte, at disse stunder og deres skæve lys gjorde den gamle bunker mere hjemlig end nogensinde før.En: Freja looked at her friends and thought that these moments and their skewed light made the old bunker feel more like home than ever before.Da: I stilheden efter stormen havde de fundet fred.En: In the silence after the storm, they had found peace.

muren var fugtig, og solens stråler kun svage pletter gennem de smalle vinduer.En: Inside, it felt like another world; the walls were damp, and the sun's rays were only faint patches through the narrow windows.Da: Astrid tog straks billeder af det skumle interiør, hendes kamera klikkede konstant.En: Astrid immediately took pictures of the eerie interior, her camera clicking constantly.Da: "Forestil jer de historier, dette sted kunne fortælle."En: "Imagine the stories this place could tell."Da: "Det er bare sten og træ," sagde Mikkel med en let latter.En: "It's just stone and wood," said Mikkel with a light laugh.Da: Men han kunne ikke ignorere følelserne af ubuden ro.En: But he couldn't ignore the feelings of uninvited unrest.Da: "Lad os op på toppen.En: "Let's go to the top.Da: Udsigten kunne være et godt fokuspunkt i artiklen."En: The view could be a good focal point for the article."Da: Freja tøvede lidt.En: Freja hesitated a bit.Da: Hendes fantasi malede billeder af spøgelser og skygger, men hun fulgte trofast sine venner.En: Her imagination painted pictures of ghosts and shadows, but she faithfully followed her friends.Da: Trætrappen knirkede under deres vægt, og en skinger lyd fik dem til at stoppe op.En: The wooden stairs creaked under their weight, and a sharp sound made them stop.Da: "Hørte I det?"En: "Did you hear that?"Da: hviskede Freja.En: whispered Freja.Da: "Det er bare vinden i revnerne," sagde Mikkel hurtigt, men hans stemme manglede overbevisning.En: "It's just the wind in the cracks," said Mikkel quickly, but his voice lacked conviction.Da: De fortsatte op, og da de endelig nåede toppen, blev de belønnet med en panoramaudsigt over det vilde hav.En: They continued up, and when they finally reached the top, they were rewarded with a panoramic view of the wild sea.Da: Astrid rettede sit kamera mod horisonten, men så noget i linsen der fik hende til at gispe.En: Astrid pointed her camera at the horizon, but saw something in the lens that made her gasp.Da: "Mikkel, se!"En: "Mikkel, look!"Da: På skærmen var en flygtig skikkelse, gennemsigtig og mørk.En: On the screen was a fleeting figure, transparent and dark.Da: Mikkel kiggede skeptisk, men en kuldegysning krøb langs hans ryg.En: Mikkel looked skeptically, but a shiver crept along his spine.Da: "Det kan være noget teknisk," sagde han tøvende.En: "It could be something technical," he said hesitantly.Da: Men efterhånden som solen gik ned, begyndte ting at ændre sig.En: But as the sun set, things began to change.Da: Små lyde, hviskerier, flimmer af lys der ikke kunne forklares.En: Small noises, whispers, flickers of light that couldn't be explained.Da: Mikkel mærkede sine overbevisninger svaje.En: Mikkel felt his convictions sway.Da: Hans kamera fangede pludselig en uventet lyskugle der svævede midt i rummet, og hans egen tvivl blev til frygt.En: His camera suddenly captured an unexpected orb of light floating in the middle of the room, and his own doubt turned to fear.Da: "Vi må tilbage," besluttede Mikkel, nu påvirket af stedet og dets uvæsen.En: "We have to get back," decided Mikkel, now affected by the place and its eeriness.Da: De løb ned ad trappen, alle tre grebet af en underlig forståelse.En: They ran down the stairs, all three gripped by a strange understanding.Da: Ude igen, kunne Mikkel ikke længere benægte, at noget var derinde.En: Outside again, Mikkel could no longer deny that something was in there.Da: Om det var sindets spil eller noget andet, vidste han ikke.En: Whether it was the play of the mind or something else, he did not know.Da: Men han følte ærefrygt.En: But he felt awe.Da: "Skal du skrive historien?"En: "Are you going to write the story?"Da: spurgte Astrid, stadig med et spændt smil på læben.En: asked Astrid, still with an excited smile on her face.Da: Mikkel nikkede alvorligt.En: Mikkel nodded seriously.Da: "Ja.En: "Yes.Da: Og måske, bare måske, lader jeg læserne også undre sig."En: And maybe, just maybe, I'll let the readers wonder too."Da: De forlod kysten med Mikkel tænksom og mere åben for det ukendte.En: They left the coast with Mikkel thoughtful and more open to the unknown.Da: Hvad han én gang troede var sort-hvid, blev nu et spektrum af grå, fuld af mystik han aldrig havde drømt om at opleve.En: What he once thought was black and white now became a spectrum of gray, full of mystique he never dreamed of experiencing.Da: Verden syntes større, fyldt med hemmeligheder han nu var klar til at udforske.En: The world seemed larger, filled with secrets he was now ready to explore.

hendes syn blev gradvist dårligere.En: However, in recent days, Freja had noticed something troubling—her vision was gradually getting worse.Da: På trods af sommerens endeløse dag, var Frejas verden blevet svøbt i tåge.En: Despite the endless daylight of summer, Freja's world had become shrouded in fog.Da: Bogstaverne på tavlen blev slørede, og frygten for at fejle sit arbejde voksede i hende.En: The letters on the blackboard became blurry, and the fear of failing her job grew within her.Da: Mikkel, en lokal fisker, bemærkede hendes uro.En: Mikkel, a local fisherman, noticed her unease.Da: Han var kendt for sin dybe viden om traditionelle helbredelsesmetoder.En: He was known for his deep knowledge of traditional healing methods.Da: "Måske kunne jeg hjælpe," sagde Mikkel efter en dag med fiskeri.En: "Perhaps I could help," said Mikkel after a day of fishing.Da: Hans råd var baseret på de visdommelige traditioner, der var gået i arv gennem generationer.En: His advice was based on the wise traditions that had been passed down through generations.Da: Han foreslog at bruge saften fra en sjælden grønlandsk plante, kendt for sine helbredende egenskaber.En: He suggested using the juice from a rare Greenlandic plant, known for its healing properties.Da: Freja tøvede.En: Freja hesitated.Da: Hun var usikker på at vælge mellem Mikkels traditionelle metoder og muligheden for at rejse til den nærmeste klinik, som lå langt væk og krævede en svær rejse.En: She was uncertain about choosing between Mikkel's traditional methods and the possibility of traveling to the nearest clinic, which was far away and required a difficult journey.Da: Men med hver dag, der gik, blev synsproblemerne værre, og Mikkels tilbud virkede mere og mere som en nødvendig løsning.En: But with each passing day, her vision problems worsened, and Mikkel's offer seemed increasingly like a necessary solution.Da: I samråd med Sofie, besluttede Freja sig endelig for at prøve Mikkels plantekur.En: In consultation with Sofie, Freja finally decided to try Mikkel's plant remedy.Da: Hun lukkede øjnene, mens saften forsigtigt blev dryppet i dem.En: She closed her eyes as the juice was gently dripped into them.Da: I en stille spænding ventede de tre.En: In quiet anticipation, the three of them waited.Da: Langsomt, begyndte Freja at mærke en fornemmelse af klarhed.En: Slowly, Freja began to feel a sense of clarity.Da: Verden omkring hende blev gradvist skarpere.En: The world around her gradually became sharper.Da: Med synet kom også indsigt.En: With sight came insight.Da: Freja følte en dyb respekt for den lokale visdom, som hun før havde undervurderet.En: Freja felt a deep respect for the local wisdom she had previously underestimated.Da: Hun forstod nu balancen mellem moderne medicin og oprindelig viden.En: She now understood the balance between modern medicine and indigenous knowledge.Da: Hendes taknemmelighed overfor Mikkel og hans folk var stor.En: Her gratitude towards Mikkel and his people was immense.Da: Som dagene gik, blev Frejas syn bedre.En: As the days went by, Freja's vision improved.Da: Hun fortsatte sin undervisning med fornyet energi og åbnede sit hjerte for det lille samfunds kultur og traditioner.En: She continued her teaching with renewed energy and opened her heart to the culture and traditions of the small community.Da: Hun så nu værdien i at lytte til dem omkring hende og indkorporerede denne lærdom i sit arbejde og liv.En: She now saw the value in listening to those around her and incorporated this learning into her work and life.Da: Og således fandt Freja ikke kun sin synsevne igen, men også et klarsyn i hjertet, der forblev, længe efter hun var rejst tilbage fra kysternes endeløse sommernat.En: And so, Freja found not only her ability to see again but also a clarity of heart that remained long after she returned from the endless summer night of the coasts.

Alla har hört talas om Oden, Tor, Loke, Freja, Balder, Njord och de andra gamla asagudarna. De flesta tror sig också känna till de lika ryktbara som beryktade offerhandlingarna – bloten – med vilka vikingarna firade dem och offrade till dem. Men vad vet vi egentligen om den fornnordiska religionen? Vilka gudar vördade man på riktigt, och hur gick offren till?Sanningen är att vikingatidens förkristna religion var mångfacetterad, med flera olika typer av kulter. Här fanns det småskaliga alvablotet, privata högtider på gårdarna, som främlingar inte fick ta del av, men också de stora riksbloten på platser som Lade, Lejre och Uppsala, där representanter från flera bygder förväntades delta. Här fanns också det kvinnliga sejdandet, då völvor försatte sig i trans och skådade in i framtiden. I de tidigmedeltida kristna redogörelserna för bloten dominerar kusliga exposéer av blodiga människooffer i heliga lundar och tempel, medan de norska kungasagorna snarare låter oss se festliga sammankomster med rituellt drickande och inmundigande av helgade köttgrytor. Vilken bild är mest korrekt? I takt med att arkeologerna hittar de gamla templen – ”kulthusen” – kan vi lägga ihop allt fler pusselbitar till bilden av de religioner som gick i graven när kristendomen segrade på 1000- och 1100-talen.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om vikingatidens asagudar och de kulter som tillägnades dem.Bild: 1800-talsskildring av ett forntida Disablot.

Jenny Lei is the founder of Freja, the cult-favorite vegan handbag brand that you've probably seen on Hailey Bieber, Sarah Jessica Parker, and all over your feed.But here's what you might not know. Jenny started Freja with no fashion background, no design experience, and no investors. She funded it herself with money she made from a dropshipping business she built after Googling "how to make money fast online" because she had to pay for her life living in NYC. She launched a work bag brand out of her New Jersey apartment in February 2020, weeks before the entire world stopped going to the office. She signed up two thousand people to an email list, sent her launch email, and didn't get a single sale. And she was doing all of it on a visa, with a clock ticking on whether she'd even get to stay in the country. Today, Freja is a multi-million dollar brand and one of the most talked-about names in the space.In this episode, Jenny gets really honest about the slow years nobody talks about, why she believes growing too fast can actually be a curse, and the moment she broke down crying in an airport because she'd been holding the entire business together by herself, with no systems underneath her. We talk about the difference between selling products and creating a brand, how intuition is built through failure, and learning to separate who you are from the company you create. She also opens up about burnout, the systems and team she built behind Freja, and what it was like to step into the spotlight after years of hiding. If you're in one of those quiet, slow seasons right now — doing everything right, waiting for it to pay off — this is the conversation you need to hear.In this episode, we'll talk to Jenny about:* Why growth should be measured by learning, not just revenue. [02:37]* The downside of growing too fast without understanding why it worked. [03:58]* Growing up with curiosity and the freedom to explore new interests. [04:05]* Navigating identity after moving between China and the United States. [06:00]* How a vegan Instagram account became an early entrepreneurial venture. [06:58]* Separating personal identity from the business you build. [09:08]* Why the business should work for you—not the other way around. [10:00]* From Cornell graduate to Googling how to make money online. [13:55]* Learning the fundamentals of online selling through dropshipping. [15:22]* The difference between selling products and building a brand. [17:05]* Creating Freja after failing to find the perfect work bag. [19:25]* Using naive optimism to design a product without a fashion background. [20:25]* Launching just before the pandemic and facing an immediate setback. [24:25]* Why volume, consistency, and paid ads fueled early growth. [26:02]* The gradual rise of Freja and the success of the Chrystie collection. [27:58]* Reaching a turning point and finally viewing the company as a real business. [29:07]* Burnout, team growth, and learning how to build systems at scale. [31:17]* The marketing channels that mattered most from startup to scale. [35:23]* Stepping into the founder spotlight and sharing the story behind the brand. [37:48]* How journaling became the most impactful business tool. [42:33]* Using ChatGPT and the Socratic method for better decision-making. [44:12]* Moving to London, evolving as a designer, and reimagining the future of Freja.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: A Serendipitous Swap at Copenhagen's Busy Airport Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-06-16-07-38-19-da Story Transcript:Da: Midt i sommerens travlhed ved Københavns Internationale Lufthavn skete der altid noget uventet.En: In the midst of the summer hustle and bustle at Københavns Internationale Lufthavn, something unexpected always happened.Da: Flugttavler skiftede konstant, og rejsende hastede gennem terminalerne med blikke faste mod deres destination.En: The flight boards constantly changed, and travelers rushed through the terminals with their eyes fixed on their destinations.Da: Mellem disse mennesker gik Mikkel, en mand i jakkesæt, altid ordnet med skinnende sko, sin rene mappe og det sundeste danske rugbrød i sin taske.En: Among these people was Mikkel, a man in a suit, always tidy with shiny shoes, his clean folder, and the healthiest Danish rye bread in his bag.Da: Han havde en vigtig forretningsrejse til Berlin på programmet.En: He had an important business trip to Berlin on the agenda.Da: Ikke langt fra ham var Freja, en ung kvinde med afslappet tøj og en lystig rygsæk fyldt med drømme og lidt praktisk rejsegejl til hendes kommende eventyr i Sydøstasien.En: Not far from him was Freja, a young woman in casual clothes with a cheerful backpack filled with dreams and a bit of practical travel gear for her upcoming adventure in Southeast Asia.Da: Idet de begge nåede sikkerhedskontrollen, forsøgte Mikkel at holde fokus.En: As they both reached the security checkpoint, Mikkel tried to stay focused.Da: Men i strømmen af mennesker, der skubbede og skyndte sig med livlig kækhed gennem sikkerhedstjekket, tog han uforvarende Frejas rygsæk i stedet for sin egen.En: But in the stream of people pushing and rushing with lively zest through the security check, he inadvertently took Freja's backpack instead of his own.Da: Det gik ikke op for ham, før han sad i venteområdet, langt væk fra lydløse beskedtoner og knas af småkager.En: He didn't realize until he was sitting in the waiting area, far away from silent message tones and the crunch of cookies.Da: Han skulle bruge sine dokumenter til forretningsmødet, da han fremdrog en guidebog til Thailand og en farvestrålende sarong.En: He needed his documents for the business meeting when he drew out a guidebook to Thailand and a colorful sarong.Da: Samtidig sad Freja ved nærmeste kaffebar, klar til at tage sin rejsebibel frem.En: Meanwhile, Freja sat at the nearest coffee bar, ready to take out her travel bible.Da: I stedet mødte hun et hav af papirer og kontorartikler, der stank af formalitet.En: Instead, she was met with a sea of papers and office supplies that reeked of formality.Da: Hun grinede, lidt rystet, men ikke overrasket over Lufthavnens magi.En: She laughed, a bit shaken, but not surprised by the airport's magic.Da: Med et skævt smil besluttede hun at blive siddende i håb om, at ejeren af den byttede taske ville komme forbi.En: With a crooked smile, she decided to stay put in the hope that the owner of the swapped bag would come by.Da: Mikkel kiggede febrilsk rundt og så sig nødsaget til at finde Freja.En: Mikkel looked around frantically and knew he needed to find Freja.Da: Han spurgte sig vej blandt travle rejsende og nåede frem til Freja, sidst da han var tæt på at gå om bord.En: He asked his way among busy travelers and reached Freja, just as he was about to board.Da: "Er du Freja?"En: "Are you Freja?"Da: spurgte han lettere åndeløst, idet han kunne se sin egen rygsæk ved hendes fødder.En: he asked, slightly breathless, as he could see his own backpack at her feet.Da: "Jeg tror, vi har byttet tasker," sagde Freja leende, og de to udvekslede taskeindhold og latter.En: "I think we switched bags," said Freja, laughing, and the two exchanged bag contents and laughter.Da: Med deres tasker tilbage i de rette hænder skilles deres veje hurtigt.En: With their bags back in the right hands, their paths quickly diverged.Da: Idet de gik mod hver deres gate, kiggede Mikkel en sidste gang mod Freja og overvejede, hvordan hendes frie ånd kunne give et pust til hans lidt for skematiske liv.En: As they walked toward their respective gates, Mikkel glanced one last time at Freja and considered how her free spirit could bring a breath of fresh air to his somewhat too schematic life.Da: Freja på sin side tænkte, at nogle gange krævede selv eventyr lidt planlægning – nok til, at man fik sine ting med sig.En: Freja, on her part, thought that sometimes even adventures required a bit of planning—enough to ensure you took your belongings with you.Da: Mikkel boardede flyet med en ny tanke om, at eventyr, som Frejas, måske ikke var så langt fra hans rækkevidde, mens Freja gik mod sin gate med en ny respekt for planlægningens kunst.En: Mikkel boarded the plane with a new thought that adventures like Freja's might not be so far out of his reach, while Freja headed toward her gate with a newfound respect for the art of planning.Da: Og et sted imellem lufthavnens travlhed fandt de en fælles forståelse for livet på farten.En: And somewhere amidst the airport's hustle and bustle, they found a mutual understanding for life on the move.
