This week, Kris returns to the podcast all the way from Iceland to tell us facts about volcanoes, the sheep to human ratio, and what the TSA makes of peanut butter. Official Recommendations From Kris: Fairyland (2023) Kris's official recommendation this week is Fairyland, a film based on Alysia Abbott's Fairyland: A Memoir of My Father. It follows Alysia from the age of six when she loses her mother to a car accident and moves with her gay father to San Francisco in the 70s. From Tara: In What World by Bridget Morrissey Tara's official recommendation this week is In What World by Bridget Morrissey, which did the thing that all readers hope for: it surprised her. High school rivals reconnect as adults and are given a glimpse at all the kinds of worlds as they search for their missing mentor. Is this vague? Absolutely. Tara wants you to go in as blind as possible so you can have that same surprising treat. Check it out! Works/People Discussed Love is Blind: UK (Netflix) Jeopardy!

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin editor Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week is;[00:36:13] Trump Floated Making Iceland 51st State In Call With Then-PM Of Iceland In 2024On November 26, four days before Iceland's 2024 parliamentary elections, then-Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson was greeted by a phone call when he entered his home. It was President-elect Donald Trump. This unusual phone call came with an unusual suggestion: how did Bjarni feel about making Iceland the 51st state?[00:31:06] Iceland Not Interested In Abandoning the International Criminal CourtThe Ministry for Foreign Affairs says it is out of the question that Iceland withdraw from the Rome Statute, and that the Icelandic government wholeheartedly supports the International Criminal Court. The US government is now pressuring NATO countries and others to withdraw from the court.The European newspaper Politico reported on the 10th of September that Matthew Whitaker, the US government's envoy, had asked the ambassadors of NATO member states for assistance in undermining the international war crimes court at a closed meeting with them at the alliance's headquarters in Brussels in July.Whitaker wanted the countries to withdraw from the Rome Statute, the court's founding treaty. He warned the ambassadors that the US government would be watching closely to see who supported it in this effort.[00:21:35] The USA And EU Countries Threaten Sanctions On Iceland Over WhalingAuthorities in the United States have threatened to impose tariffs on Icelandic imports over whaling, according to visir.is sources. Threats have also come from European Union countries. The Minister of Industries intends to propose that the hunts be banned in a bill to be introduced after the new year, and says both the nation's trade interests and animal welfare are at stake in the matter.[00:12:10] A Boat Sinks For the Third TimeA boat named Glacier (Jökull) sank on Saturday night in Hafnarfjörður harbour, for the third time since 2020. Now, is there a metaphor in there somewhere?[00:04:13] The Icelandic Police Issues AI Slop Stickers To KidsEvery year the police conduct community outreach, this year's effort has met with mixed opinions, as this year the police issued AI-generated stickers to schoolchildren, featuring two police officers and a bear in a police uniform. Local musical legend (and advertising agency owner) Bragi Valdimar Skúlason criticised the police for the sticker, pointing out an obvious AI blunder (Police or Lögreglan misspelled on the sticker), and questioned the police's decision to opt for AI instead of hiring human graphic designers and proofreaders. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport The Reykjavík Grapevine's reporting by becoming a subscriber at https://www.grapevine.is/subscribe - We are also a printed magazine.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Peter Beinart speaks with international lawyer Itay Epshtain about the recent decision by 12 countries, led by the UK and France and including Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden, to UK, to impose sanctions on Israel, including import bans on goods from Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The new policies may also include sanctions against companies providing services, such as construction or financing, for Israeli settlements in the West Bank, personal sanctions against individual Israeli settlers, and a new bank on certain weapons used in the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. In their conversation, Peter and Itay look at how the International Court of Justice set the stage for these sanctions, how the UK and other countries will determine what sanctions to impose, and how Israeli banks and businesses are reacting to the prospect of being sanctioned. Itay Epshtain is a Senior Humanitarian Law and Policy Consultant, serving as a Special Advisor on International Law and Humanitarian Principles to the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and Legal Advisor at the Center for Operational Analysis and Research (COAR). Formerly, the Policy and Protection Advisor of the NRC Palestine Office, West Bank Protection Consortium Chief of Party, International Humanitarian Law Advisor with Diakonia IHL Resource Centre, and Director of Amnesty International Israel Section. Peter Beinart is a Non-Resident Fellow at the Foundation for Middle East Peace. He is also a Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the City University of New York, a Contributing opinion writer at the New York Times, an Editor-at-Large at Jewish Currents, and an MSNOW Political Commentator.

What would a postcarbon future look like? What would it take to build and maintain a more just, regenerative world? How would it feel to live—and to thrive—in that world? In Building Postcarbon Futures: Land, Justice, and Energy Transitions (Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, 2026), Billy Fleming and a wide set of contributors critically engage with the above questions and more. Around the globe, people are transforming their social, ecological, and economic systems in response to the climate crisis. This book guides readers through 29 of these exemplary works, which span 43 nations and 6 continents. From Cuba to Kiribati, Iceland to the Andes, the prairies of North America to the expanding Gobi Desert, these case studies foreground the tactics and modes of practice being employed, often by marginalized peoples, to create more humane, hospitable places. With dispatches from more than a dozen leading scholars working on the front lines of the climate justice movement, Building Postcarbon Futures is both a celebration of action underway and a clarion call to the planners, designers, policymakers, and activists who are pushing this planet toward a future of collective flourishing. Billy Fleming is a leading voice on the role of design in responding to the climate crisis in our cities, communities, and landscapes. He is founding codirector of the Climate and Community Institute, a progressive think tank focused on climate and political economy, and assistant professor of landscape architecture at Temple University's Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia.

In this episode of Irreverend Faith and Current Affairs, Rev. Dr. Jamie Franklin is joined by Rev. Thomas Pelham for a wide-ranging discussion on two major stories.First: Sadiq Khan celebrates a partnership between Fabric nightclub and St Paul's Cathedral. Is this just another concert in a historic building, or a sign that the Church of England has lost the distinction between the sacred and the secular? Jamie and Tom examine Bishop Robert Barron's strong critique, Gavin Ashenden's polemics, and the wider question of what church buildings are actually for.Second: Cambridge academic and Reform UK policy chief James Orr is forced to step down after being caught in a journalistic sting discussing foreign funding. Was it illegal? Immoral? Or just politically disastrous? The pair dig into the optics, the law, Nigel Farage's ruthless response, and what it means for Christian influence in politics.Also in this episode: the assisted dying bill, the AfD surge in Germany, Iceland rejecting the EU, and a listener question about blessing children's backpacks.Timestamps:0:00 – Intro & banter7:04 – Lord's Prayer & Psalm 11713:30 – Fabric nightclub at St Paul's Cathedral25:13 – Bishop Robert Barron's critique of sacred vs secular33:02 – Gavin Ashenden & Roman Catholic reactions36:32 – James Orr, Reform UK & the foreign funding controversy50:02 – Assisted dying, abortion & the AfD rise in Germany1:00:39 – Listener question: blessing backpacks1:06:41 – Closing prayerSupport Irreverend:

Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady talks with team member Jack Mac about minimalism and life on the road. Jack shares insights from over five years managing Expedition Portal’s classifieds and global travel by bicycle, backpacking, and vehicles like a 70 Series Land Cruiser Troopy. They discuss how a travel mindset lowers consumer spending, why high-end gear can become a burden, and why you should choose a vehicle you can afford to lose. Jack reflects on how bikepacking taught him minimalism and pacing, details a perilous Iceland crossing, and emphasizes preparation, managing vehicle mass, supporting local communities, keeping overhead low, and his passion for photography.

Today's Headlines: So Donnie's AI slop posting frenzy over the weekend caused Iceland to summon the US ambassador after he posted a map with the American flag over all of North America, Greenland, and Iceland — Denmark called it "disturbing and completely inappropriate" — and Iceland is now accelerating its EU membership vote, having previously moved it up after Trump confused them with Greenland four times in one speech. Trump also threatened to ban Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier from the US market unless they build planes domestically, despite Bombardier's supply chain already involving 3,000 American companies across 47 states, with wings made in Texas and engines from Phoenix. And on the Iran war, the US launched more strikes on Iranian oil tankers in response to Iran's latest attacks on American warships. Meanwhile, the Smithsonian's secretary Lonnie Bunch is stepping down by year's end, citing Trump's harassment of the institution and attempts to rewrite American history in its museums. The Republican Party's invented midterm convention kicks off in Dallas this week with Trump's approval rating at around 30%, and not every Republican is showing up — Susan Collins among the notable absences. This week marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and New York City released over 170,000 pages of documents suggesting city officials knew the air quality near Ground Zero after 9/11 was unsafe while telling the public otherwise, with more firefighters dying of related illnesses than were killed on the day itself. Speaking of 9/11, TSA launched a new program called Gateside allowing PreCheck members to enter airports without tickets to meet people at gates – a pre-9/11 experience making a limited comeback. And finally, a dozen countries including the UK, France, and Canada announced they're halting trade with Israeli West Bank settlements, with Israel responding by closing the British consulate in East Jerusalem and expelling British representatives from Gaza.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Grapevine journalist Elías Þórsson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week is;[00:02:10] Increased Sales Of The Icelandic FlagThis summer saw a major increase in sales of flagpoles and the Icelandic flag according to Brynjar Húnfjörð, the CEO of Íslandshús, a company that sells flagpoles. Brynjar cites a recent change in Icelandic law: until this summer, it was illegal to hoist the flag after darkness or specific hours of the day. The change allowed the flag to be hoisted around the clock between May 1 and August 15.[00:15:55] High Speed Ride-Sharing Car-ChaseThis Saturday, the police in Reykjavík engaged in a high-speed chase after a reportedly intoxicated man who had rented a ride-share car from local ride-sharing company Hopp, driven at speeds up to 140 km/h, and hit several vehicles along the way. At least five police cars and two police motorcycles went in pursuit, eventually catching the driver in Víðidalur, Reykjavík. He was arrested and taken into custody “until he was fit to be interrogated,” according to the police.[00:19:54] Free Media TV News In Iceland Comes To An EndThe Icelandic media market was one of the main topics of discussion this weekend, following media company SÝN's announcement that it was discontinuing its TV news, which had run since 1986. This means that Iceland only has a single TV news program left, run by the State Broadcasting Service, RÚV. Iceland also only has a single daily paper left, Morgunblaðið. Logi Einarsson, the minister responsible for the media in Iceland, was interviewed both by RÚV and Vísir on the topic, and former minister of the media Lilja Alfreðsdóttir was also interviewed, making the point that RÚV had expanded over the past few years at the expense of free media in Iceland, going on to say that parliament wasn't taking the dire situation of media in Iceland seriously enough.[00:34:16] Icelandic Car Rental Companies Face Billions In BacktaxesIcelandic car rental companies face billions of krónur in back taxes. Last week, it came to light that the Icelandic tax authorities might charge many of the biggest car rental companies VAT on their sales of insurance to customers. Between 15 and 30% of a car rental company's income stems from selling insurance on their vehicles, and if the taxation is backdated as far back as six years, companies such as Bílaleiga Akureyrar might have to pay up to 2 billion ISK. If this happens, many of the biggest car rental companies in Iceland might simply become insolvent, disrupting the car rental market in Iceland significantly.[00:43:56] More Details On Biggest Cocaine Bust In Iceland's HistoryIn late June, the police reported the largest cocaine bust in Iceland's history–106 kg, which has a street value of around 3 billion ISK. The drugs were hidden in a small compartment underneath the Bulgarian aluminum freighter Koznitza, which was arriving from Brazil. Earlier that month, a specialized van with diving equipment arrived in the country on the Norræna ferry from Denmark. Two Brazilian divers also arrived to fetch the drugs and, according to the police, were “specialized in drug diving.” However, they ran into problems immediately, as their suits were too small, so they had to start by buying more gear, and it took them two tries to fetch the cocaine, which they had to swim 1.5 km to reach. To help them cover that distance, they used what's called a ‘scooter'—a James Bond-esque propeller device. But to add insult to injury, the police had been tracking the drugs all the way from Brazil, and before the divers even reached the ship, the cocaine had been replaced with fake material. The investigation is expected to conclude this week.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport The Reykjavík Grapevine's reporting by becoming a subscriber at https://www.grapevine.is/subscribe - We are also a printed magazine.

Molly joins Richie this week fresh off a wild run of life events—getting called as Relief Society President while on a cruise in Iceland, her son getting his mission call to São Paulo Interlagos, Brazil, and another son locking down a full-time job offer for 2027. In listener mail, shoutout to Todd Haden for listening while pushing data at work. Richie also takes a moment to apologize after an anonymous emailer rightfully called him out for accidentally referring to an Arizona rapist as a “gentleman” in a previous episode (a bad habit of using catch-all polite terms that he completely agrees was the wrong move). We also get into the weeds on the new vetting process for Temple Square performers and whether the policies are leaning a bit ageist. On the reality TV front, Taylor Frankie Paul totally blew the ending of her unreleased Bachelor season, Witney Carson is competing pregnant on Dancing with the Stars alongside Jimmy Kimmel’s Guillermo, Connor is also joining DWTS, and American Idol winner Iam Tongi and his fiancee recently received their endowments.

If you've ever strolled down the dairy aisle of your local grocery store, chances are you've come across these little tubs of Icelandic goodness. Skyr yoghurt has really grown in popularity in the last five to ten years. But is it really as healthy as it's touted to be, or is its reputation down to marketing hype? It's a traditional Icelandic yogurt, which is said to have been brought to Iceland by the Vikings when they settled there over a thousand years ago. It's marketed as a yoghurt, but is in fact technically a soft cheese. Skyr's uniqueness lies in its manufacturing process, which gives it that thick and creamy texture, similar to fresh cheese. How did it become so popular? What are the nutritional qualities of skyr? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

"It was like an adrenaline rush, such a good group of people," she shares. However, day two brought unexpected challenges when she encountered a horse that was a bit too wide for comfort.The Dangers of Riding a PotatoHeather humorously refers to her horse as a "potato" due to its wide saddle, which led to some intense muscle spasms. "I was struggling to breathe... my muscles locked up," she recalls. The conversation shifts to the broader issue of horse breeding, with Natalie chiming in about the discomfort that wide horses can cause for riders.For more stories and insights, tune into the full episode where laughter and learning abound!Links:www.adultingwithhorsespodcast.comInstagram @adultingwithhorsespodcastTwitter @AdultingHorsesFacebook Group, The Clubhouse: https://www.facebook.com/groups/adultingwithhorsespodcast/Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AdultingWithHorsesPodcastThank you for being a little weird with us, horse girl!

The war with Iran reaches six months, Trump's Pentagon cuts a corrupt oil deal with Venezuela, and Russia makes an (unwelcome) surprise appearance at a G20 meeting.Tommy and Ben mark six months of the war with Iran, including the death toll, damage to the global economy, and reports that Trump may implement a "mow the grass" forever war strategy. Pete Hegseth is clearly losing the confidence of military leaders as the Secretary of the Army resigns and the Washington Post reports that top military commanders are pushing back on his management of the war. Then Trump announces that the US government is taking a 35% stake in a Venezuelan oil company. The guys walk through why the deal wouldn't benefit either average Americans or Venezuelans, why it's doomed to fail, and how the corrupt business partner Alejandro Betancourt is a perfect symbol of Trump's smash-and-grab foreign policy. Also discussed: the US hosts a G20 finance meeting in North Carolina and invites Russia, Israel's National Security Minister posts a sickening AI video, what we know about the catastrophic glacial collapse in Nepal that killed more than 900 people, Iceland's vote against restarting EU membership talks, and a crazy story out of South Korea about government corruption and a cult-like church. Then Tommy speaks with David Eby, Premier of British Columbia, about Trump's trade war against the Canadians and his “cringe” name change for Lake Ontario.Hate listening to ads?

Did Iceland's rejection of EU membership talks repeat the same mistakes as Britain's Remain campaign, and does it hand a dangerous propaganda win to Farage, Putin, and the wider anti-European right? As Russia warns of "consequences" over British missiles built in Ukraine, is the West sleepwalking towards direct confrontation? With one in four Americans now convinced British society is broken, is Trump deliberately weaponising Britain to justify its own domestic agenda?

The A24 Rocks crew delves into the Icelandic folk horror film (with a little bit of handball) Lamb. Starring Noomi Rapace and Hilmir Snær Guðnason, Lamb is about a couple named Maria and Ingvar living in rural Iceland with a flock of sheep. Come summer, one of the sheep births a creature of curiosity: a half-human, half-lamb. The situation becomes more tense when Maria and Ingvar's brother Petur arrives at their cabin, to discover that his brother and sister-in-law are raising the half-human, half-lamb themselves.

In this special Saga Brief recorded live at the University of Central Oklahoma, we explore an often-overlooked pillar of Viking Age society: the horse. (John wanted to call this presentation "A Horse for the Norse, with Sources (of course)," but Andy shot that down.) While our discussion is grounded in saga narratives and archaeology, we offer a wide-ranging discussion of how horses helped shape the literature, culture, and history of medieval Iceland. Along the way, we cover the following categories: Everyday Use Status Masculinity Horse-Fighting Ritual Action and Religious Belief Of course, any one of these could be a book-length study on its own. We've done our best here to provide a broad overview of the horse's place in medieval Iceland and beyond. Naturally, that “beyond” allows us some wiggle room to talk a little about Anglo-Saxon England (and to maybe squeeze in a Beowulf reference or two). As you'll hear, horses are far more than livestock and convenient tools. They emerge across the literary, historical, and archaeological record as vital mediums for social, political, and spiritual identity. More than that, this talk explores a relationship between the human and horse that is deeply personal. We hope you enjoy!
