"Take On Me" by A-ha is an iconic hit of the 1980s. It came out in October 1985 with an equally iconic music video that helped define the age of MTV. It hit #1 in the US and in countries all over the world. And it's still massively popular today. It currently has over two and a half billion streams on Spotify. So, with all of that, it's easy to imagine that this was all inevitable. But actually, the song took so many steps and missteps before it became the hit that everybody knows. I talked to Paul Waaktaar-Savoy from A-ha, who wrote the original bones of the song back when he was a teenager in Norway, years before it came out. The song actually came out and flopped TWICE in the UK, before it found a foothold in the US. So for this episode, Paul took me through the whole history of the song, and all the different versions that existed. And he told me how he and his bandmates, Magne Furuholmen and Morten Harket, pushed and pushed and persevered. "Take On Me" was their first single as a band, and it made them the most successful Norwegian pop group of all time.For more info, visit songexploder.net/a-ha.

The folks at Fox News promoted Donald J. Trump as both an unflinching authoritarian who openly defied state governments and a peacemaker who ended a 3000-year conflict with the snap of his fingers.When their glorious leader did not win the coveted Nobel Peace Prize his servants at Fox News predictably went into a full emotional meltdown meant for an audience of one - the contest was rigged, the judges were woke, it was a meaningless prize, even Norwegians have Trump derangement syndrome, Alfred Nobel was a monster anyway, and people all over the world will demand that Trump get the prize next year.Of course the Israel-Hamas war was not 3000 years old and Trump is more of a fascist than pacifist.

In this "Artists Asking Artists" episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, hosts Matt Payne and Brie Stockwell sit down with renowned Norwegian landscape photographer Arild Heitmann. Arild discusses his evolution as a photographer, sharing insights into his creative process, the influence of his upbringing in Northern Norway, and his passion for moody, atmospheric imagery. He opens up about balancing a busy workshop business with personal projects, embracing both challenges in the wild and in adapting new photographic techniques like analog and infrared. The conversation explores the impact of tourism on iconic natural locations, the challenge of staying fresh creatively, and Arild's philosophy on pushing boundaries and following instinct rather than repeating formulas.

Fresh off her stunning victory at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Norway's Solveig Løvseth and her plus boyfriend Sindre sit down to chat with with Talbot Cox, Kyle Glass, and Kaiden Lieto to unpack the race of her life. From swimming roots to the Norwegian system, staying calm when seven minutes down, and the exact moment she realized she could win — this is the unfiltered champion's story.

#183 - Jamie Edwards returns to Journey with Jake with tales from the top of the world, having ventured to the Arctic with her 21-year-old daughter and 82-year-old stepfather. Their expedition through the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard reveals a landscape where polar bears roam distant shores and massive glaciers calve with thunderous crashes that signal our changing climate.Jamie vividly describes the unique challenges and thrills of Arctic exploration aboard the purpose-built Ultramarine ship. Unlike Antarctica (which Jamie visited previously), the Arctic's main attraction—and danger—is the magnificent polar bear. These apex predators can smell prey from up to 20 miles away and swim for days without stopping, facts that add a layer of respectful caution to every shore excursion. The expedition team constantly scans shorelines through powerful scopes before allowing passengers to disembark, ensuring both human safety and wildlife protection.What makes this journey particularly special is the three-generation dynamic. For Jamie's environmentally-conscious daughter, seeing climate change impacts firsthand provided powerful context to her studies. For her adventurous 82-year-old stepfather, it was an opportunity he'd never have experienced otherwise. And for Jamie—someone who typically dislikes cold weather but couldn't resist the Arctic's allure—the expedition became another transformative travel experience, even culminating in the traditional "polar plunge" into frigid waters.Beyond her Arctic adventures, Jamie shares updates on her expanding writing career, including contributions to National Geographic's upcoming "Traveler's Atlas" and her travel coaching services. Her website IamLostandFound.com continues to serve as both personal travel journal and professional portfolio, connecting her with opportunities to share her passion for thoughtful, transformative travel experiences.Whether you're planning your own polar expedition or simply enjoy armchair adventures, this conversation offers both practical insights and philosophical reflections on how travel changes us—"you go into it one way, you come out of it another."Be sure and check out Jamie's work on her website www.iamlostandfound.com. Want to be a guest on Journey with Jake?

In this episode of Superlative, host and aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams sits down with Theodore de Turckheim, Chief Marketing Officer of Micromilspec. Together they explore how the Norwegian brand has evolved from creating bespoke timepieces for elite military squadrons to establishing itself as a serious contender in the modern luxury watch landscape. Theodore shares his unique path from the structured corporate culture of IWC Schaffhausen and Richemont to the creative freedom of a small, independent brand, reflecting on how agility and authenticity have fueled Micromilspec's growth. The conversation dives into the company's shift from tactical tool watches to broader lifestyle collections, the role of humor and storytelling in humanizing a watch brand, and why today's collectors value connection and transparency as much as precision and heritage. From the debut of the Milgraph at Geneva Watch Days to the brand's new ventures into extreme sports collaborations, Ariel and Theodore unpack what it means to build a bold, personality-driven brand in an industry often known for its formality, and how Micromilspec is proving that even serious watches can have a sense of humor.Keep up with Theodore and Micromilspec:- Website: https://www.micromilspec.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/micromilspec/ Check out this week's sponsor - Movado:- https://www.movado.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Watch the Best Scene Reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew4yxfT2YUA Fiona Haegerbergh, a journalist for The Metro Standard, arrives in a rural Norwegian town to investigate rising drug use. Officially, she's there to produce a webcast— but Fiona has her own agenda: uncovering the truth behind the recent suspicious death of a local drug dealer. Fiona's editor urges her to stay on task, as much is riding on the Metro Standard's survival—now largely dependent on the recent success of its popular web series. Get to know the writer: What is your screenplay about? My screenplay is about a journalist Fiona Haegerbergh, who travels to a remote Norwegian town to cover rising drug use for her paper's popular web series, but she's secretly investigating the suspicious death of a local dealer. She's met with hostility from townsfolk and a wary sheriff, but she gradually earns his reluctant trust as she digs into the community's hidden drug network. Her search leads to Jenny, a young mine worker with ties to Fiona's brother, who may have inherited the operation. When Jenny is suddenly found drowned, Fiona's investigation takes a darker turn and she is faced with a devastating choice: expose what she's uncovered and risk her own secret being revealed—or stay silent and let the town's shadows close in. What genres does your screenplay fall under? Thriller, Mystery Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? Because it has a good mystery, loveable characters and an unexpected twist.

The attacks saw over 1,200 people killed and 251 others taken back to Gaza as hostages. It was the single deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Israel responded by launching a military offensive in Gaza which has killed more than 67,000 people, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry. Its figures are seen as reliable by the UN and other international bodies. We'll hear from Eli Sharabi, an Israeli hostage held for almost five hundred days in the tunnels of Gaza, and ask how the last two years have re-shaped the region.Also on the programme: how the victims of the Mynanmar military junta are suing a Norwegian telecoms firm; and the newly-crowned Nobel Prize winner, Fred Ramsdell, recalls how his digital detox was interrupted by the news of his win.(Photo: People attend a ceremony in Tel Aviv to mark the two-year anniversary of the Hams-led October 7th attacks on Israel.

In this candid, practice-focused conversation, Joe is joined by Norwegian psychologist and researcher Ivar Goksøyr to explore how therapists' own healing journeys can measurably improve client outcomes—and why MDMA-assisted experiences, used thoughtfully, may be a uniquely powerful catalyst for professional development. Ivar shares lessons from Norway's psychedelic research team (PTSD and the world's first MDMA-for-depression trial), his clinic Psykologvirke in Oslo, and his online course, “The Wounded Healer,” which uses authentic footage from his FDA-approved MAPS volunteer MDMA sessions to illuminate real clinical processes, countertransference, and the “inner healing intelligence” as a working metaphor rather than dogma. The discussion ranges from implementation realities (laws, ethics, and conservative regulatory cultures) to the pragmatic: how an MDMA experience helped Ivar resolve chronic anxiety reactions in the therapy chair, reduced burn-out, increased receptivity, and improved attunement—changes he believes many clinicians can cultivate when personal growth is prioritized alongside methods training. He outlines a developing collaboration with the University of Oslo on Empathogen-Assisted Therapies Development—not to “dose for certification,” but to support therapists' self-awareness and resilience in legally sanctioned research contexts. They also compare compounds: why MDMA may be easier to integrate into mainstream psychiatry than classic tryptamines (fewer projective processes, more biographical focus, smoother affect regulation), while acknowledging the immense promise—and higher demands—of psilocybin and other psychedelics. Throughout, they emphasize humility, guardrails, and the need to keep learning as the field scales (with frank reflections on ketamine's mixed rollout and avoiding idealization/devaluation cycles). Highlights Why therapist factors often outweigh modality—and how personal work translates into better outcomes. Using real session video (with Ivar as participant) to normalize vulnerability, illuminate process, and train pattern recognition. Regulatory and ethical nuances of self-experience in training; building consensus before policy change. Inner healing intelligence as a clinical metaphor aligned with Rogers, Rank, and psychodynamic concepts (unconscious therapeutic alliance). MDMA vs. classic psychedelics for implementation; sequencing with ketamine in public systems.

“I urge everyone to take a fraction of a second more to think before you throw something out— that's the moment that it matters whether we'll never see it again or whether it will go on to have a second life. It just takes that fraction of a second to try and do the right thing.” —Laura Rosenshine   The way we handle waste isn't just about bins and bags—it's about habits, community, and the stories we tell ourselves. Sometimes, the real power to change things starts with a single, simple choice.  Laura Rosenshine is the co-founder of WATS, a software platform that helps manage waste more sustainably and efficiently. Laura's path started with a curiosity about composting and grew into a mission to help businesses rethink waste. From hands-on consulting in New York to launching Watts, she's learned that real progress comes from connecting people, data, and practical solutions. Hit play to get honest advice, smart strategies, and a fresh perspective on waste. In this episode, Justine and Laura discuss composting, business sustainability, waste data, the circular economy, and how anyone—individual or company—can start making a difference today. Meet Laura:  Laura founded Common Ground Compost LLC (CGC) after a few years working in the commercial waste sector, including working with a Norwegian-based technology company piloting in-vessel organics processing in NYC. In 2017, Laura co-founded Foodprint Group which was focused on bringing standardization and industry best practices to the waste management programs of multi-location hospitality and food businesses. In 2021, Laura returned to CGC to focus on building a WATS.

In this episode of Parenting Is a Joke, John Moe talks to Ophira Eisenberg about raising three kids while juggling multiple jobs in public radio, writing, and podcasting. He recalls his parents' Norwegian roots, including summers spent above the Arctic Circle and the bone-dry humor of his father, whose jokes sometimes landed days later. Comedy became the family's shared language, even as emotional expression was stifled at home, and Moe admits he often repeats phrases from his parents—like telling his kids to “snap out of it”—despite his professional focus on mental health. He describes how having a third child “broke” him in a liberating way, leading to their move from Seattle to Minnesota, where three-kid families felt more culturally normal. The conversation weaves through memories of Carol Burnett and Monty Python, misheard church greetings like “Metellina Moe,” and the difference between depression and simple misery, before circling back to Moe's mission of making space for open conversations about mental health—work informed by losing his brother to suicide. The episode closes with Moe comparing shifting stigma around therapy to societal changes in littering and drunk driving: slow progress, but progress nonetheless.

Most of us think stress is just about our busy schedules. But what if your body is stressed and you don't even know it? In this episode of Medical Disruptors, Dr. E sits down with Dr. Torkil Færø—Norwegian physician, where he explains how HRV reveals the hidden state of your autonomic nervous system—the balance between “fight or flight” and “rest and digest.”  And once you can measure it, you can finally manage it. This means you could be walking around in constant sympathetic nervous system activation without realizing it—until it manifests as fertility issues, autoimmune flares, insomnia, or metabolic dysfunction.  Heart rate variability measures the variation between heartbeats, revealing whether your autonomic nervous system is in rest-and-digest mode or fight-or-flight mode at any given moment. The data exposes hidden stressors conventional medicine never tests for. We explore why tracking reveals that sunlight can double your heart rate variability while Covid infections and PMS create equally dramatic dips, why the Garmin watch provides real-time stress level readings that other wearables don't offer, and how food intolerances show up in your heart rate before they manifest as skin reactions or digestive issues.  If conventional lab tests keep coming back normal but you still feel terrible, this episode reveals the diagnostic tool that measures what blood work can't detect—and why doctors were never trained to look for it. This episode of Medical Disruptors will change how you see your body, your stress, and your future. Watch now and subscribe for more disruptive conversations.

FRANKOPAN1.mp3 - The Holocene, Violent Events, and Climate Change Professor Peter Frankopan | The Earth Transformed: An Untold History The segment introduces The Earth Transformed, focusing on the Holocene and human responses to violent natural events. The collapse of the Laurentide ice dam changed global circulation patterns, warming the Northern Hemisphere and facilitating North American settlement. A massive Norwegian landslide created a tsunami that cut off Great Britain, later influencing British exceptionalism and naval investment. The discussion notes that social transformation hinges on calorie availability, allowing reduced labor input to be redirected toward other activities, creating social hierarchies and competition. New scientific data, including genomics, is transforming our understanding despite patchy historical records.

The discussion focuses on Norse mythology, noting that main written sources, such as Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda, were recorded in 13th-century Iceland, post-conversion to Christianity, necessitating caution in interpretation. The creation story involves the eternal void (Ginnungagap) meeting the fire world (Muspelheim) and the ice world (Niflheim), from which the primordial ice giant Ymir formed. The end of the world is Ragnarök, where the fire giant Surtr destroys the world and Loki sails the ship Naglfar, made from the nails of dead people. Snorri Sturluson, a major figure in this era, was murdered in his own basement around the 13th century on the orders of the Norwegian king during a time of civil war in Iceland.
