Ever stared at a toothpaste tube and wondered if it could take you higher? In episode 18 of Rabbit Hole, Billy Merritt and the BIT Comedy players tumble from dental conspiracies and Norwegian stop-motion cartoons to hoarding hotel soaps, prank-calling Captain Crunch, and even a pirate gang in juvie. Along the way, fluoride turns into Flo Rida, the Soggies declare war, and toothpaste becomes the most questionable substance at the Cannabis Cup. It's improv chaos at its finest: absurd connections, quick character swaps, and the kind of storytelling detours only this ensemble could conjure. From corporate “green peas” to Plato's cave, with a bit of toothpaste smoke in the air, this Rabbit Hole has it all.

On this episode, acclaimed author Caitlin Starling (The Luminous Dead, The Starving Saints, The Death of Jane Lawrence, etc.) joins Aaron and Derek to discuss 2010's Norwegian dark fantasy mockumentary "Trollhunter" written and directed by André Øvredal. They talk about Caitlin's bibliography, inspirations, writing process and experiences with professional publishing. They also get into Trollhunter's blending of Norwegian culture and folktale with grounded reality, the movie's exploration of bureaucracy and lack of oversight, the effective use of found footage in the revelation of trolls and plot progression, and many other aspects of the movie. Derek and Aaron are in troll territory now.

Episode #393: “It's now time to be more principled and say that, ‘We would like to support democracy.'” With this statement, Audun Aagre, former head of the Norwegian Burma Committee (NBC), distills three decades of Norway's involvement in Myanmar into a call for credibility and purpose. Aagre's own engagement with Myanmar began in the early 1990s, when Burmese exiles in Norway trained as journalists with the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB). Witnessing their dedication inspired him to travel to the Thai–Myanmar border, and later help form a Burma support group back home. He was eventually tapped to lead the Norwegian Burma Committee (NBC), an advocacy group supporting Aung San Suu Kyi and the NLD's opposition to the military. Under Aagre's leadership, NBC was broadened to include building political party capacity and working with civil society across ethnic lines. While Norway's policy was pro-democracy early on, it shifted during the Thein Sein era. Norwegian diplomats began to argue the generals had seen the light and were more popular than Aung San Suu Kyi— a view Aagre dismissed as fantasy. Norway launched the Myanmar Peace Support Initiative (MPSI), which emphasized short-term “peace dividends” like development projects, but failed to address structural issues of federalism and military control, and seemed to back the military's approach. The trust his country had built with democratic forces in Myanmar for decades all but collapsed. The Rohingya crisis then revealed the futility of believing cooperation with the military could ever be compatible with human rights. Meanwhile, business entanglements further eroded Norway's credibility. Telenor, once a symbol of empowerment as cheap SIM cards and internet spread across Myanmar, soon collided with the junta's demands for surveillance data. Forced into compliance, it eventually sold its operations—only to see sensitive information handed straight to military-linked companies. Energy ventures like SN Power's dam project and Statoil's offshore contracts followed the same pattern, funneling resources into conflict zones and, ultimately, into the generals' coffers. For Aagre, the lesson is clear: Norway must stand firmly for democracy, not realpolitik. Otherwise, compromise and “trickle-down” strategies only undermine the very struggles they aim to support. The warning resonates now, as democracies everywhere face pressure from rising authoritarianism and strategic disinformation. “If the military was able to turn Norway, then you can turn any country in the world. The symbolism of turning Norway was very high.”

In this episode, I talk with Team Norway, a group of farriers coming together from across the country as they prepare for a major competition. Most are based near Oslo, while others travel from much farther away, but they've built a strong team through regular practice and support from coaches like Ian Gajczak. Along the way, they share how they got started in farriery, the clinics and apprenticeships that shaped their careers, and the types of horses they work with, from Icelandics to drafts and sport horses. Katinka reflects on becoming the first female farrier to win the Norwegian championship, an achievement she never expected, and the group talks about the ups and downs of competing in Norway, where the scene is still small but growing. They also touch on the realities of working in today's economy, with changing costs and pressures on horse owners, and how those challenges shape their day-to-day work. Through it all, what stands out is their commitment to improving, pushing each other, and enjoying the journey as a team. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In 1970, The Beatles released their final-and worst-studio album, Let It Be. Since then, its underwhelming title track has become associated with charity events, social causes, drunk boomer sing-alongs, and is probably the favorite song of the cringiest person you know.But in 2010, the Norwegian travel show Gylne Tider pulled off the impossible by making the song actually entertaining for the first time. With the help of over two dozen celebrities from the '80s and '90s, and a cheap-to-license version of the song intended to raise money following a ferry disaster, the show unintentionally created one of the weirdest videos on YouTube.From Jason Alexander to Ireland's very own Boyzone, no one on the “Let It B-List” was left out of this baffling piece of advertising.Watch Let It Be HEREFollow us on Instagram to stay updated about our monthly live shows!Check out more from Justin here: justindodd.rocks Check out more from Steve here: stevejhward.comdrinkgenies.com

A no-confidence vote in France has led to the ousting of the country's Prime Minister Francois Bayrou just nine months after he took office. It now means President Emmanuel Macron has lost his third prime minister in just over a year. We explore how opposition parties are reacting to the news and how the crisis might be resolved.Also: A BBC exclusive interview with the comedian Graham Linehan, after he was arrested at Heathrow airport for his social media posts. And the remarkable story of one man who survived six days with a broken leg on the edge of a Norwegian glacier.

Our testers put the new reMarkable Paper Pro Move digital notebook through it's paces. Seem more about the device here. reMarkable Paper Pro Move digital notebook reviewed Our testers liked the previous, larger sized version of the tablet, so they were enthusiastic about getting their hands on this product. They pulled out the device, noted it's change in size, and quickly cracked on with putting it through it's paces. First time around the block, their response was succinct, it is great, or rather it is smaller, handier to move around with them, but that is it for now. It is just as good as it was before, but more portable. They happily played around with it, and reported that they would happily continue to use it. Since the testers had their time on the device, it seems that there are new features, which can be unlocked, perhaps as an upgrade for new users, so it seems like we will need to do a second 2.0 review, once we get our testers to assess these extra features. Meantime, several of the team have commented that they have seen ads for the reMarkable product family in a variety of good, high profile media outlets. This would suggest that the company is gearing up to reach more eyeballs via a higher level of advertising and promotion. The challenge, and opportunity for reMarkable may well be simply about getting the word out there, as the product seems to be in a good place now, and it is more about getting more people using it. The company seems to have a positive approach to sustainability and a light footprint on the planet, so it will be interesting to see how things progress for this Norwegian company. Their website has a good, and informative section on their approach to sustainability, and we have included an excerpt below to give you a sense of how they are aiming to making a deeper dive and more transparent approach to this side of things. It could be an interesting blue print going forwards for sure. More about the reMarkable Paper Pro Move The 7.3-inch digital notebook has been designed for work that happens anytime, anywhere, and with anyone. It slips easily into a bag or jacket pocket, perfect for working professionals whose jobs take them out of the office. Existing ways of capturing ideas on the go all have their drawbacks. Paper is hard to organise, tricky to share, and easy to lose. Balancing laptops on knees can be uncomfortable, and when meeting someone, the big screen immediately gets in the way of collaboration. And on our phones, our attention can be hijacked by endless scrolling and social media. After listening closely to users, reMarkable learned that many wanted the same distraction- free experience of its other paper tablets, just in a smaller size. The idea? For working professionals to bring their workspace with them and do their best thinking - wherever they go. "reMarkable Paper Pro Move is a new, flexible option for capturing your thoughts," said Phil Hess, CEO of reMarkable. "It's big enough to hold your work, yet small enough to not get in the way. Whether you're meeting at a conference, airport, or café, you're able to be fully in the moment during your conversation." Pricing and availability reMarkable Paper Pro Move is available to order today on remarkable.com and rolling out through selected reseller partners. On remarkable.com, it comes bundled with a Marker (£399) or Marker Plus (£439). For a discount, add a Book Folio in polymer weave, Mosaic weave, or premium leather. New reMarkable users get a 100-day free Connect trial. After the trial, Connect costs £2.99/mo. Cancel anytime. reMarkable 2 and reMarkable Paper Pro will continue to be sold alongside reMarkable Paper Pro Move on remarkable.com.

Robin Pecknold's vision of indie folk perfection came to life in 2008 when Fleet Foxes released their self-titled debut album. What started as a basement recording project between high school friends evolved into a critically-acclaimed masterpiece that perfectly blends Beach Boys-inspired harmonies with pastoral themes and Renaissance aesthetics.Sitting down to explore this influential album track by track reveals the genius behind what many critics consider one of the greatest debut albums ever recorded. The band's Norwegian-inspired folk creates an immersive experience through Pecknold's evocative lyrics about nature, mortality, and family connections. We're struck by how the production, despite being created on a shoestring budget with band members recording parts between regular jobs, achieves such a rich, atmospheric quality.Beyond the recognized hits "White Winter Hymnal" and "Blue Ridge Mountains," the album offers numerous standout tracks that showcase the band's range. "Ragged Wood" captivates with its compelling bridge and perfect coda, while "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" demonstrates their ability to create tension through minimal arrangements. Throughout the album, Casey Westcott's subtle keyboard work and Nicholas Peterson's drumming provide the perfect foundation for the intricate vocal arrangements that define the Fleet Foxes sound.What makes this album special is its authenticity and restraint—songs deliver emotional impact through simplicity rather than complexity, avoiding unnecessary solos or filler. The band creates complete musical statements that transport listeners to wooded landscapes and natural settings. Whether you're new to Fleet Foxes or revisiting this classic, join us as we rank our favorite non-hits and celebrate a timeless record that continues to reveal new layers with each listen.Send us a textSupport the show

The Galapagos Affair is a gripping tale of idealism, conflict, and mystery set on the remote Floreana Island in the Galapagos during the early 1930s. In 1929, Dr. Friedrich Ritter and Dore Strauch, both disillusioned with modern life, left their spouses in Germany to pursue a solitary, Nietzsche-inspired existence on Floreana, building a home called Friedo and living as vegetarians. Their dream soured as Dore's multiple sclerosis worsened and Friedrich's harsh demeanor strained their relationship. In 1932, the Wittmer family—Heinz, Margret, and their frail son—arrived, seeking a healthier life, but were met with hostility from Friedrich and Dore. Tensions escalated with the arrival of the flamboyant Baroness Eloise von Wagner and her lovers, Rudolf Lorenz and Robert Philippson, who planned to build a hotel, Hacienda Paradiso, and clashed with the others by seizing a vital freshwater spring and intercepting their letters. A 1934 drought intensified conflicts, and in March, the Baroness and Philippson vanished after Margret claimed they left for Tahiti—a story doubted due to no recorded ship and their belongings remaining. Lorenz, a suspect, disappeared with a Norwegian fisherman, their bodies later found on Marchena, likely from dehydration. In November, Friedrich died after eating contaminated chicken, officially an accident, but conflicting accounts from Dore and Margret suggest possible foul play. Dore returned to Germany, publishing Satan in Eden, while the Wittmers stayed, later opening a successful hotel. The 2014 documentary The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden and the 2024 film Eden explore this unresolved mystery, leaving questions about murder, betrayal, or escape in a paradise turned sinister.   Sources: The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came To Eden (2013)  Documentary, biography, crime.

Norwegian filmmaker Audun Amundsen, director of Click the Link Below, which premiered at Doc Edge in Auckland, follows online gurus like Akbar Sheikh and Tai Lopez to show how engagement algorithms reward extremes and blur value with hype. Audun traces an unlikely path from renewable energy engineer and backpacker to documentarian, surviving a stroke at 23 before returning to Indonesia that resulted in his previous documentary Newtopia, a 15-year chronicle of a community's shift from barter to money, with a focus on human nature over gloss. He also cites his earlier feature Help! I've Gone Viral, plus inspirations like Juan Carlos Rulfo's In the Pit and Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Audun champions smart self-distribution, keeping VOD rights and building film funnels, and urges filmmakers to research financial backers, lead with value, and market your film as thoughtfully as you shoot.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

When the Salem witch trials reached their peak of hysteria in 1692, 81-year-old Giles Corey became the only person in American history to receive a court-ordered execution by crushing, defiantly gasping "more weight" as stones were piled on his chest over two agonizing days. His gruesome death, carried out in a public pit where neighbors could watch, helped turn the tide against the witch trials as witnesses realized no true servant of Satan would endure such torture with such stubborn defiance.==========HOUR ONE: Like many desolate places, the Arctic has its share of ghost stories and haunted legends floating around the frigid, wild areas of its domain. It might be the frights rather than the cold that gives you goosebumps. (Ghostly Shivers of the Arctic Circle) *** You never know what might be lurking just out of sight – in the shadows, behind a door. I'll share a few true stories that might make you double-check the locks at night and check the closet before going to bed. (Never Trust The Dark) *** When you think of the Salem Witch Trials, you typically think of women being burned at the stake, innocently accused of witchcraft. There are two incorrect assumption about that mental picture. First, most of the accused were hung, and none have been truly verified to be burned alive. And second, sorcery and Satan worship were not seen to be bound by gender, and so either a man, woman, boy, or girl could be a witch. And one of those unfortunate men was Giles Corey – but his punishment went beyond the norm, and into the gruesome. (The Most Dreadful Execution of The Salem Witch Trials)==========HOUR TWO: “The devil made me do it.” It's an excuse that has been used so often by so many that it has lost its meaning, and its effectiveness. So only a fool or a madman would commit a horrible act and then try to blame it on the devil or a demon… unless, of course, that person truly believes that is exactly what happened to them. (A Demon Made Me Do It) *** The little Norwegian village of Bærum Verk still stands as an old foundry settlement, and is an active place, both as a place to work, and as a place to live – and as a place to keep living even after you're dead. (The Most Haunted Village in Norway) *** There are more than a few stories from upright citizens around the world who claim to have seen tiny humans. I'm not talking about the diminutive human beings we used to classify as dwarves or midgets until we became more enlightened. I'm talking about short, maybe two-foot tall, perfectly proportioned people. (Big Stories About Little People)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: When John and Eva were married they told their relatives that they planned to honeymoon on the Atlantic coast, but John had another plan, and it would not be his last deception. But it would be the first act in what ended up being a mystery that has still gone unsolved to this day. (The Lawrenceburg Shanty-Boat Mystery) *** Weirdo family member James Pierce brings a true story that he calls, “It Came Through the Screen Door”. *** A 5-year-old boy having the time of his life at a carnival suddenly goes missing – and when found later there is no evidence whatsoever as to how he got where he was, who took him there, or what happened to him before he was found. (The Disturbing Case of Little Stephen McKerron) *** Weirdo family member Joy Cruz remembers something her mother told her as a child… and it quite possibly saved her soul.

Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen and his trio, featuring new bassist Sigurd Hole and long-time collaborator, drummer Jarle Vespestad, combine together folk influences and church music for unhurried embraces of melody. Expressive and reflective, Gustavsen's ‘Nordic blues' slowly unfurls passages of delicate lyricism, with enough space for contemplation, and only the notes that are needed from all players in the trio.On the 2018 release, The Other Side, the trio effortlessly injects old Norwegian lullabies and dance forms into original works, and develops haunting and riveting responses to both Scandinavian hymns and Bach Chorales. The Tord Gustavsen Trio joins us to play some of these compositions in-studio. (From the Archives, 2018) - Caryn HavlikSet List: 1. The Tunnel 2. O Traurigkeit 3.Schlafes Bruder

The world of music is full of interesting characters, and some of them are unfortunately bad people. In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're following our namesake by talking about musicians who did time in prison.  We have a long list of artists from different genres who spent some time behind bars, and we're going to talk about them, their crimes, and the music they made.  We've got stories like Lead Belly being discovered while in prison for attempted murder, to Jelly Roll turning his life around after his daughter was born while he was serving time. The singer for Lamb of God was charged with killing a fan. Ike Turner missed his rock and roll hall of fame induction because he was behind bars. Lil Kim chose prison over snitchin', and some of the Norwegian death metal dudes are crazy.  We've got all of their stories and a lot more in this wild episode, so let's hit it.
