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

In Episode 35 of The Choral Director's Toolbox, host Dr. William Baker proclaims "Choral Music Isn't Going Anywhere," challenging the myth that our art form is in decline. Drawing on history, research, and decades of personal experience, he highlights the remarkable resilience and growth of choirs across America. This week's listener question tackles the challenges of commissioning new music when the finished work proves impractical, offering guidance for directors navigating similar situations. Today's inspiration is the serene Norwegian evening hymn "Nu Solen Går Ned'" performed by the women of the William Baker Festival Singers. Join us for an uplifting episode celebrating the vitality and future of choral music.

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.

What happens when God reshapes a life? Bishop Joel Holmes shares profound insights from nearly six decades of ministry on the spiritual transformation process that turns believers into vessels of divine purpose.Drawing from Psalm 51:5, Bishop Holmes illustrates how we're all "shapen in iniquity" at birth, requiring divine intervention to become who God intends. Using the metaphor of wood being bent to create a concert grand piano, he explains how our resistance to change must give way to God's transformative work.The heart of this message explores the critical connection between consecration and spiritual power. Against conventional wisdom suggesting that relaxing standards leads to church growth, Bishop Holmes reveals how his unwavering commitment to holiness—taught with love and brokenness—actually catalyzed extraordinary expansion in his ministry. "When you move off from consecration," he warns, "you lose the cutting anointing that breaks the yoke of sin."Bishop Holmes shares four essential pillars for building God's kingdom: prioritizing prayer (including regular fasting), cultivating genuine love for people, engaging in consistent outreach, and developing Spirit-filled teaching. He culminates with a powerful insight from Numbers 12 about God speaking "mouth to mouth"—describing those transcendent moments when divine truth flows directly through us, bypassing our intellectual filters.Whether you're facing resistance to change, struggling with worldly influences, or seeking greater spiritual power, this episode provides transformative truths that will reshape your understanding of holiness, consecration, and divine purpose. Listen now and discover how embracing the "foolishness" of the gospel unlocks its supernatural power.We love to hear from our listeners!

Episode #384: “As a journalist, you always hope for consequences. I mean, otherwise our reporting is meaningless,” says Bjørn Nordahl, a Norwegian investigative reporter who led a two-year probe into Telenor's withdrawal from Myanmar. The case was especially painful because the company, once praised for driving SIM card prices down and sparking a communication revolution in 2014, ended up entangled with a brutal military regime. After the February 2021 coup, Telenor initially disclosed military orders to shut down networks and block Facebook. But on February 14 its CEO told Norwegian media, “From now on, I can't say anything” about Myanmar. From that point until March 2022, the company ceased public disclosures while complying with junta demands. Nordahl's team examined over 750 leaked documents. These showed two categories of orders: shutdown directives and direct requests for subscriber information. One June 2021 internal assessment warned that handing over data on a PDF member meant “the impact of sharing this information is extremely high” and could enable arrests. Another request concerned a doctor close to Aung San Suu Kyi; Telenor concluded “it's likely that this number will be used to support the military examinations of the criminal case against Aung San Suu Kyi.” Nordahl notes Telenor admitted, when asked, that “we never said no” to junta requests, with lawyers justifying every handover under Myanmar's military law, while “Norwegian legislation does not come into consideration.” At home, questions arose about oversight. Around 30 meetings took place between Telenor and Norway's Ministry of Trade and Commerce, though their content remains undisclosed. Nordahl highlighted that the Labor Party was in power during both entry and exit, adding, “probably there will be people in the opposition who are very interested in this story.” He said opposition groups already call for an independent investigation, and predicted, “this claim will be even stronger and probably reach another level after we have published this.” For Nordahl, the saga illustrates the limits of corporate responsibility under authoritarianism. Yet he insists the story must be documented, both for future accountability and as a warning of how global business decisions can imperil lives.

In this empowering and insightful episode, we sit down with the legendary Dr. Eric Berg, one of the world's most recognized educators in the keto and intermittent fasting space. With over 28 million YouTube subscribers and content translated into 20+ languages, Dr. Berg has helped millions transform their health through what he calls Healthy Keto — a clean, nutrient-dense, and sustainable approach to low-carb living.Although he's never been to Norway, Dr. Berg shares a special connection to Scandinavia — his family is originally from Sweden, and he's a big fan of Norwegian fish for its purity and omega-3 power. This episode brings a personal touch as we connect across continents to explore the science, the myths, and the mindset behind real, lasting health.Together, we dive into the science and nuance behind keto — starting with Dr. Berg's own transformation as a 28-year-old struggling with fatigue, weight gain, and multiple health issues. From there, we explore everything from cholesterol myths and hormone health, to why some people regain weight, and how keto impacts the gut, stress levels, and heart health.Many women in perimenopause or menopause struggle with hormone imbalances and in this episode, Dr. Berg shares why supporting testosterone is actually essential during this time. As he explains, a significant portion of estrogen during menopause is converted from testosterone — meaning that helping the body maintain healthy testosterone levels can support overall hormonal balance, energy, and fat loss.Whether you're keto-curious or a long-time low-carb advocate, this conversation is full of powerful takeaways — especially for women navigating perimenopause and hormonal changes.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Dr. Eric Berg's personal journey into keto — and what sparked his mission to educate the worldHow to follow a keto lifestyle without raising LDL cholesterolThe connection between keto, SHBG, testosterone, and hormonesKeto for women in perimenopause and menopause — what to focus on and what to avoidWhy some people regain weight on keto, and what to do about itThe truth about fiber, gut health, and bloating on a low-carb dietShould you stay in ketosis long-term or use keto in cycles?What heart rate variability (HRV), cortisol, and stress tell us about keto's impactWho shouldn't do keto, and red flags to watch forWhat the latest research says about keto and heart healthWhy lactate levels and mitochondrial function matter in biohackingThe biggest myths about keto that need to be bustedDr. Berg's top 3 tips for women using keto as a biohacking toolGuest: Dr. Eric Berg: Website: www.drberg.comYouTube: Dr. Eric Berg DC instagram: @drericbergTakk til vår samarbeidspartner:Oslo skinlab: Osloskinlab.no: rabattkode: bio60 @osloskinlabBoken vår BIOHACKING, - 18 uker på BESTSELGERLISTEN den finner du her:https://www.ark.no/produkt/boker/hobbyboker-og-fritid/biohacking-9788205611474Nysgjerrig på neste Biohacking Weekend 21 og 22 mars 2026?

The Playoff Qualifying Round has kicked off in the Europa & Conference Leagues, and it's all to play for! The headline in the Conference League was the big boys struggling, with Scandanavian sides taking full advantage. Palace managed just a 1-0 home win vs Fredrikstad amidst a frustrating week off the pitch, Strasbourg was held scoreless in France by Brøndby, & Mainz suffered a 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Rosenborg. Elsewhere, both Irish sides got huge victories, including a shock win at Santa Clara for Conference League veterans Shamrock. Plus Virtus stayed alive, maintaining just a single goal deficit heading back to San Marino, where they hope to be the first club from their nation to qualify for a European group stage. Meanwhile in the Europa League, Utrecht continues their impressive qualifying run, Brann-AEK Larnaca and Panathinaikos-Samsunspor set themselves up for terrific 2nd legs, and Red Imps' and KuPS' magical qualifying runs come to an end – but fear not! We'll see them both in the Conference League league phase. All that plus more praise for the Cypriot, Norwegian, Polish, and the Dutch leagues, and a quick check in on Champions League qualifying! Cheers Per-Mathias Høgmo!

A day after a famine is confirmed in Gaza City, a spokesperson for the UN children's agency Unicef lls us she's afraid hunger will spread. We ask the Norwegian government what other countries can do to put pressure on Israel to let in aid.Also in the programme: Jeffrey Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell tells the authorities she never saw President Trump in any compromising situations, and there is no ‘list'; but how credible is a convicted criminal seeking release? And we discuss whether novels really benefit from “sensitivity readers”.(Image: Palestinian doctor Ahmed Basal examines a child for malnutrition at Al-Rantisi Hospital in Gaza City, 7 August, 2025.

Evige minner fra verden før verden brøt sammen.En: Streets that were once full of life now lay silent, as if time had forgotten them—enduring memories from the world before the world fell apart.No: Eirik gikk foran, med sterke skritt og øyne som holdt vakt.En: Eirik walked ahead, with strong strides and eyes that kept watch.No: Han hadde overlevd på grunn av sin evne til å holde følelsene i sjakk.En: He had survived due to his ability to keep his emotions in check.No: For ham var håp en farlig ting.En: For him, hope was a dangerous thing.No: Astrid gikk ved hans side.En: Astrid walked by his side.No: Hun gikk ikke like fort, men hvert steg hun tok var fylt med noe Eirik manglet—troen på bedre dager.En: She didn't walk as fast, but every step she took was filled with something Eirik lacked—the belief in better days.No: "Vi må ta denne veien," sa Eirik og pekte mot en smal sti som ledet oppover mot fjellene.En: "We must take this path," said Eirik, pointing toward a narrow trail leading up toward the mountains.No: "Det er kortere, men farligere."En: "It's shorter, but more dangerous."No: Astrid så skeptisk på ham.En: Astrid looked at him skeptically.No: "Vi kan følge elven lenger ned, det er tryggere," foreslo hun.En: "We can follow the river further down, it's safer," she suggested.No: Hennes stemme var mild, men besluttsomheten var tydelig.En: Her voice was gentle, but the determination was clear.No: Eirik ristet på hodet.En: Eirik shook his head.No: "Vi har ikke tid. Vinteren kommer snart igjen, og vi kan ikke risikere å bli fanget her."En: "We don't have time. Winter is coming soon again, and we can't risk getting trapped here."No: Motvillig ga Astrid etter, og de satte kurs gjennom den farlige ruten.En: Reluctantly, Astrid relented, and they set their course through the dangerous route.No: Terrenget var vanskelig, med bratte skrenter og skarpe steiner som minnet dem om naturens kraft.En: The terrain was difficult, with steep slopes and sharp rocks reminding them of nature's power.No: Alt omkring dem syntes stille, men de visste at farene lurte i skyggene.En: Everything around them seemed silent, but they knew dangers lurked in the shadows.No: Da de nådde et trangere parti av stien, ble stillheten brutt.En: When they reached a narrower part of the trail, the silence was broken.No: En gruppe fremmede dukket opp foran dem.En: A group of strangers appeared in front of them.No: Eirik grep straks en stein som våpen, men Astrid strakte ut armen for å stagge ham.En: Eirik immediately grabbed a rock as a weapon, but Astrid extended her arm to restrain him.No: "Vent," sa hun og trådte fremover.En: "Wait," she said, stepping forward.No: "Vi vil ikke skade dere. Vi er bare på reise."En: "We don't want to harm you. We are just travelers."No: Med ord full av vennlighet, brukte Astrid sine forhandlingsferdigheter.En: With words full of kindness, Astrid used her negotiation skills.No: Hun snakket om håp og vilje til å overleve, om et felles ønske om trygghet.En: She spoke of hope and the will to survive, of a shared desire for safety.No: Gruppen, rørt av hennes ord, tillot dem å passere uten skade.En: The group, moved by her words, allowed them to pass unharmed.No: Da de endelig nådde høyden, glitret lyset fra en sol som begynte å gå ned over horisonten.En: When they finally reached the summit, the light from a sun beginning to set glittered over the horizon.No: Foran dem lå det ryktede tilfluktstedet.En: Before them lay the rumored sanctuary.No: Men hva som møtte øynene deres var en spøkelsesby.En: But what met their eyes was a ghost town.No: Tom.En: Empty.No: Forlatt.En: Abandoned.No: Astrid sank ned på en stein og så sorgtung bortover de tomme gatene.En: Astrid sank down on a rock and looked sorrowfully across the empty streets.No: Eiriks hjerte slo hardt av skuffelse.En: Eirik's heart pounded hard with disappointment.No: Men da han så på Astrid, innså han hvor langt håpet hadde brakt dem.En: But when he looked at Astrid, he realized how far hope had brought them.No: "Vi klarte det hit," sa han stille.En: "We made it here," he said quietly.No: "Og vi vil fortsette."En: "And we will continue."No: Astrid så opp, med et svakt smil.En: Astrid looked up, with a faint smile.No: "Vi vil finne et sted," sa hun.En: "We will find a place," she said.No: "Et sted som gir mening."En: "A place that makes sense."No: De satt der mens solen sakte forsvant bak fjellene.En: They sat there as the sun slowly disappeared behind the mountains.No: Naturen—selv i sin øde skjønnhet—begynte å omslutte dem på ny.En: Nature—even in its desolate beauty—started to envelop them anew.No: I denne tause enigheten, forstod de at reisen var langt fra over, men de hadde hverandre og styrken i både forsiktighet og håp.En: In this silent agreement, they understood that the journey was far from over, but they had each other and the strength in both caution and hope.No: Sammen ville de finne sitt hjem.En: Together, they would find their home.

Christina returns to the podcast to discuss this sometimes hilarious episode! Title: Fred Writer: Don Balluck Director: Michael Landon Air Date: November 29, 1976 In “Fred,” Laura Ingalls trades 40 cents for a troublesome billy goat named Fred to save him from Mr. Parsons' shotgun. The goat's antics wreak havoc in Walnut Grove, from eating Charles' rushes to headbutting Mrs. Oleson and getting drunk on Mr. Edwards' moonshine. Charles, frustrated after a grueling job, demands Fred go, but Laura's persistent optimism leads her to seek homes with Carl's pa and Reverend Alden, all ending in comedic disaster. When Fred eats Phineas Jenks' rushes, it forces Jenks to pay Charles $12, earning Fred a reprieve. Ultimately, Laura finds Fred with a herd of nanny goats, choosing to let him stay with his new family. This lighthearted episode, directed by Michael Landon, blends slapstick humor with lessons on responsibility and letting go, showcasing Laura's growth and the Ingalls' resilience amidst chaos. 10 Heartfelt Quotes: “He's the last of his kind.” “He kind of looks like a Fred.” “I saved his life.” “I think we ought to just leave him.” The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.

soft shadows over the famous sculptures.No: Sindre gikk sakte langs de buede stiene med Balder, den trofaste labradoren sin, som snuste nysgjerrig på hvert hjørne.En: Sindre walked slowly along the curved paths with Balder, his loyal Labrador, who sniffed curiously at every corner.No: Sindre hadde nylig flyttet til Oslo, og denne morgenen føltes stille og fredelig, akkurat som han foretrakk det.En: Sindre had recently moved to Oslo, and this morning felt quiet and peaceful, just the way he liked it.No: "Kom igjen, Balder," mumlet Sindre mens de ruslet videre.En: "Come on, Balder," mumbled Sindre as they strolled on.No: Det var Mikkel, hans svært entusiastiske nabo, som hadde fått ham til å utforske byens grøntområder.En: It was Mikkel, his extremely enthusiastic neighbor, who had encouraged him to explore the city's green spaces.No: "Du må ut og møte folk," hadde Mikkel sagt med et smil.En: "You need to get out and meet people," Mikkel had said with a smile.No: Selv om Sindre ofte satte pris på alenetid i naturen, visste han at han trengte å knytte noen bånd i sin nye tilværelse.En: Although Sindre often appreciated alone time in nature, he knew he needed to make some connections in his new life.No: Mens de gikk, møtte Balder plutselig en annen hund på stien.En: As they walked, Balder suddenly encountered another dog on the path.No: En energisk Border Collie

fra hunden sin.En: "Luna, calm down," called a woman with a friendly smile, who looked up from her dog.No: Ane, viste det seg, var en travel veterinærstudent med et hjerte for dyr og liten tid til annet.En: Ane, it turned out, was a busy veterinary student with a heart for animals and little time for anything else.No: Men akkurat nå så Ane Luna og Balder leke, og hun smilte bredt.En: But right now, Ane watched Luna and Balder play, and she smiled broadly.No: Sindre, varsom etter tidligere skuffelser, ble fascinert av Ane og hennes genuine glede over de firbente vennene.En: Sindre, cautious after past disappointments, was fascinated by Ane and her genuine joy over the furry friends.No: "Det ser ut som de blir venner," sa Sindre forsiktig og betraktet hundene som lekte.En: "It looks like they're becoming friends," said Sindre cautiously, observing the dogs playing.No: Ane lo.En: Ane laughed.No: "Ja, det gjør de," svarte hun.En: "Yes, they are," she replied.No: "Kanskje vi skal ta en

casting a golden light over the park.No: De avtalte å møtes igjen, klare for å støtte hverandre i det som ventet.En: They agreed to meet again, ready to support each other in what lay ahead.No: Med

might not need to walk the path alone.No: Ane følte seg tryggere på at hun kunne finne balansen, med vissheten om at hun hadde funnet noen som forsto.En: Ane felt more reassured that she could find balance, knowing she had found someone who understood.No: Sammen, under den varme Oslo-solen, begynte de å bygge en ny forbindelse, en som kunne romme begge deres drømmer og utfordringer.En: Together,

Trump's lust for the Nobel Peace Prize has even infected his failed negotiations with Putin over a proper peace which respects the Ukrainian people, as smart adversaries like Putin use Trump's “Nobel” desires against him. Michael Popok ties together two recent events — Trump extorting the Norwegians by offering lower tariffs in return for getting the Prize, and the Wall Street Journal saying that Russia is exploiting Trump's Nobel desires, to explain Trump's failed diplomacy and foreign and economic policies Dose Daily: Save 30% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/legalaf or entering code: LEGALAF at checkout!

For Marius Gustavson, a Norwegian man in London, it began with self-castration. From there, his obsession metastasized into a full-blown operation whereby he performed extreme body modifications on dozens of vulnerable men. Marius filmed the mutilations and streamed them on a pay-per-view website, where he also sold severed genitalia to paying customers. His hunting ground was the “nullo” community, composed of individuals seeking genital removal as a radical form of body modification. Many struggled with Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID) and turned to Gustavson for help. Instead, they got mutilation, exploitation, and a predator who feasted on their vulnerability — sometimes literally - as Gustavson went on to cannibalize some of the very testicles he cut off. This case is almost too gruesome to believe. But, it isn't just about mutilation: it's about control, sadism, consent twisted into theater, and the terrifying lengths people will go to reshape themselves when the wrong hands hold the scalpel.

In this episode of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," host Matt Payne chats with Norwegian photographer Klaus Axelsen about his journey from corporate consultant to passionate nature photographer. Klaus shares how photography and spending time in nature became key tools for managing his mental health, leading him toward creating deeply intimate and expressive images of Norway's lesser-known natural details. The conversation delves into the evolution of Klaus' artistic vision, the challenges and rewards of curating his upcoming book "The Artwork of Nature," and the importance of setting creative limitations and embracing solitude. They also discuss the realities of running workshops, breaking free from self-imposed artistic snobbery, and how slowing down and focusing on the small things can transform both photography and personal well-being. Klaus wraps up with book details and recommendations for other inspiring photographers to check out.
