Why I don't hate the person who tried to kill me in Norway's worst terror attack from a far-right extremist. Bjorn Ihler speaks to Lives Less Ordinary, the podcast from the BBC World Service that brings you the most incredible true stories from around the world. Fifteen years ago today, on 22 July 2011, Bjorn Ihler was a 20-year-old performing arts student and a member of the youth division of the Norwegian Labour Party. He participated in the Party's summer camp on Utøya island, about 35km from Norway's capital Oslo, when Norway suffered its worst terror attack in recent history. Anders Breivik was a far-right extremist who launched a bomb attack on government offices in Oslo. Two hours later he attacked the summer camp that Bjorn was attending. 77 people were killed that day – the majority on the island. Bjorn survived and helped save two young boys who were also on Utøya. Just days after the incident Bjorn threw himself into trying to understand how someone could behave this way. Today, Bjorn is an expert in preventing radicalisation and extremism and alongside his wife co-founded the Khalifa Ihler Institute which promotes peace, human rights, and community.

Jo Nesbø is a writer, known as the king of 'Nordic Noir'. His internationally bestselling crime thrillers following the exploits of detective Harry Hole have been translated into fifty languages, sold over sixty million copies and have been adapted for film and TV. Being a bestselling author was not his first job. As a teenager, he played football professionally before an injury put paid to his sporting career. He played guitar and wrote songs for a band which then became very successful in Norway and he combined his gigging nightlife with a day job on Norway's stock market.His relentless schedule led to him taking time off from both the band and the stock market and whilst he was travelling on a plane to Australia, he wrote his first draft of his debut Harry Hole novel. He has since gone on to write thirteen Harry Hole novels along with children's stories and other standalone books.Jo lives in Oslo.

WOW! History was made at the London Diamond League as Josh Kerr ran a mind-blowing 3:42.66 to break the men's mile world record, a mark that had stood since 1999, when Hicham El Guerrouj set it.Andy and Sarah unpack one of the greatest middle-distance performances we've ever seen, looking at the numbers behind the run and why it's such a landmark moment for the sport.Andy shares his own personal experience, having ranked number one in the world for the mile when he ran 3:49.38 in Oslo in 2008. He explains just how hard it is to run this event at the highest level, talks through how the race unfolded, and breaks down the perfectly executed pacing strategy that helped make history.Sarah, meanwhile, puts Josh's speed into context in her own way... by comparing it to the speed of a cat.
Parker Wolfe was the 43rd man on a 42-man Olympic list. Now, he's making the case for rookie of the year in professional running.Dominic sits down with the Swoosh TC Flagstaff star to unpack a debut season that reads like a highlight reel: a USATF cross country title on a muddy Portland course, top American honors at World XC in Tallahassee, a first sub-13 indoor 5K, a 12:49.45 Diamond League debut in Oslo, and a front-running Prefontaine Classic two-mile win over Grant Fisher.Parker opens up about going from top dog at UNC to "the new kid on the block" as a pro, why the professional peak is the hardest one to climb, and how he nearly committed to Duke before Chapel Hill won him over. He breaks down the transition from Chris Miltenberg to Mike Smith—more mileage, double thresholds, and a Flagstaff training group so deep he never lacks a partner, from Ethan Strand and Nico Young to the occasional Galen Rupp appearance. He makes his case that full buy-in beats a perfect program, walks through the Mo Farah-inspired tactics behind his gutsy front-running win at Hayward, and lands on the lesson at the heart of it all: people overestimate what they can do in a season and underestimate what they can do in a couple years of consistency.Plus, decoding Nike's confusingly structured Swoosh TC, Parker's five-runner Netflix docuseries cast, Nuggets loyalty, and the Lil Wayne deposition tape Coach Smith screened before Cross Nationals.Tap into the Parker Wolfe Special.

Stuart Ward grew up on a council estate in Exeter, England, obsessed with pirate radio, chart positions, and — oddly — record labels. That obsession, plus a teenage belief that Sweden had cracked the code on a fairer society, eventually carried him across the North Sea, first as a chartered accountant, then as one of Swedish television and radio's most recognisable voices for decades.Stuart hosted Night Flight Scandinavia and Top Gear Nordic (a name he lifted straight from John Peel's old BBC show, nothing to do with cars), interviewed everyone from Paul McCartney to Barry Humphries to Pelé, ran the Polar Music Prize — often called the Nobel Prize of music — and, in between all of it, tried and failed to build a political career in the UK Labour Party before finding his footing instead in Swedish politics. He also spent over a decade at the Swedish Embassy in Bangkok and lived in Thailand for eighteen years.In this episode, Stuart and host Bob Wells talk about chasing a dream with zero self-confidence, what changes when you go from radio to television, the etiquette of never looking starstruck, and why curiosity — not talent — might be the real secret behind a rich life.In This Episode You'll LearnHow a working-class boy from Exeter who could name every record label on the UK charts ended up in the Swedish music businessWhy Stuart moved to Sweden as a chartered accountant in 1973 — and why he stayedThe real story behind the name "Top Gear Nordic" (hint: it's a John Peel tribute, not a car show)What it was like trading a UK parliamentary candidacy for a life with the man he loved, at a time when that wasn't something you talked about openlyThe unglamorous technical side of early live TV versus the freewheeling looseness of radioWhy one veteran cameraman told Stuart he had a rare gift for getting people to open up on cameraStuart's interviews with Paul McCartney (who ended up interviewing him), Barry Humphries/Dame Edna, John Cleese, Pelé, and Björn BorgThe Swedish concept of Jantelagen — a kind of built-in social suspicion of standing out — and how it echoes attitudes Stuart encountered growing up in EnglandHow Stuart came to run the Polar Music Prize, founded by ABBA's co-creator Stig Anderson to bridge classical music's snobbery and popular music's lack of respectWhy the King of Sweden presents the Polar Music Prize the same way he presents the Nobel Prizes — and the historical reason the Nobel Peace Prize alone is awarded in Oslo, not StockholmThe office politics and "dinosaurs" Stuart contended with while running a prestigious international prizeLife after presenting: over a decade working at the Swedish Embassy in Bangkok, eighteen years living in Thailand, and returning to Sweden to restart his political career with the Social DemocratsWhy door-to-door canvassing at 77 has led to some surprising language moments — including conversations in fluent Thai that stopped Swedish neighbours in their tracksStuart's take on what actually produces a zest for life: curiosity, self-belief, and refusing to assume the world only exists in whatever room you happen to be standing inResources;The Polar Music Prize Royal Swedish Academy of MusicYouTube: Stuart Ward Top GearQuestion or comment?

Transcript:No: Solen skinte varmt over Oslo.En: The sun shone warmly over Oslo.No: Sofie, med hjerte og sinn litt tyngre enn hun ønsket, bestemte seg for å bruke dagen i Vigeland Park med barna sine, Lars og Ingrid.En: Sofie, with her heart and mind a little heavier than she wished, decided to spend the day in Vigeland Park with her children, Lars and Ingrid.No: Parken var et fristed fylt av skulpturer som stirret klokt ned på de besøkende, omfavnet av grønnskende trær.En: The park was a sanctuary filled with sculptures that gazed wisely down at the visitors, embraced by lush green trees.No: Vigeland Park var alltid et sted Sofie likte.En: Vigeland Park was always a place Sofie liked.No: Her kunne hun puste ut, føle seg liten blandt de store kunstverkene, men også finne en stille styrke i omgivelsene.En: Here she could breathe, feel small among the great artworks, but also find a quiet strength in the surroundings.No: I dag ønsket hun mer enn bare stillhet.En: Today she desired more than just silence.No: Hun ønsket et steg mot noe bedre og sterkere for seg selv og barna.En: She longed for a step towards something better and stronger for herself and her children.No: Lars, med sitt lyse hår flagrende, løp foran og ropte på Ingrid, som smilte og fulgte etter med en vind i håret som gjentok hennes lille brors farveløse energi.En: Lars, with his blond hair fluttering, ran ahead and called out to Ingrid, who smiled and followed with the wind in her hair echoing her little brother's boundless energy.No: "Se på meg, mamma!En: "Look at me, mom!"No: " ropte Lars, mens han klatret forsiktig opp på en liten stein.En: shouted Lars, as he carefully climbed onto a small rock.No: Sofie så på barna sine, tenkende på den reisen de hadde hatt sammen de siste månedene.En: Sofie watched her children, thinking about the journey they had undertaken together over the past few months.No: Skilsmissen hadde etterlatt fra seg såre minner, men også muligheten til å finne nye veier.En: The divorce had left behind painful memories, but also the opportunity to find new paths.No: Nå var det på tide å fokusere på disse nye stiene.En: Now it was time to focus on these new paths.No: "Kom igjen, mamma!En: "Come on, mom!"No: " ropte Ingrid, og viftet med armene for å få Sofie til å slutte seg til dem.En: shouted Ingrid, waving her arms to get Sofie to join them.No: I et øyeblikk nølte Sofie, fanget mellom tanker om gårsdagen og frykten for fremtiden.En: For a moment, Sofie hesitated, caught between thoughts of yesterday and the fear of the future.No: Hun så på smilene i ansiktene deres, og det gikk opp for henne hvor mye hun hadde gått glipp av ved å dvele ved fortiden.En: She looked at the smiles on their faces, and it dawned on her how much she had missed by dwelling on the past.No: Sofie pustet dypt og smilte.En: Sofie took a deep breath and smiled.No: Hun kunne nesten føle at noe tungt løsnet inni henne.En: She could almost feel something heavy releasing within her.No: Hun dro av seg sandalene og slapp seg selv til å le mens hun løp mot barna.En: She took off her sandals and allowed herself to laugh as she ran towards the children.No: De lekte en enkel lek av tag, latter blafret gjennom trærne, så levende og ekte som selve sommeren.En: They played a simple game of tag, laughter fluttering through the trees as lively and real as the summer itself.No: De lekte i timevis, uvitende om tiden som fløy forbi.En: They played for hours, unaware of the time flying by.No: Vigeland Park, med sine mesterverker av skulpturer rundt dem, ble kun en vakker bakgrunn til deres nye minner.En: Vigeland Park, with its masterpieces of sculptures around them, became merely a beautiful backdrop to their new memories.No: Sofie følte for første gang på lenge at glede ikke bare var noe som tilhørte fortiden, men noe hun kunne skape i nåtiden.En: For the first time in a long while, Sofie felt that joy was not just something that belonged to the past but something she could create in the present.No: Dagen endte med dem liggende på gresset, trøtte, men glade.En: The day ended with them lying on the grass, tired but happy.No: Solen begynte å gå ned, og kastet lange skygger av skulpturene over dem.En: The sun began to set, casting long shadows of the sculptures over them.No: Sofie så opp på himmelen og visste at hun hadde tatt det riktige valget.En: Sofie looked up at the sky and knew that she had made the right choice.No: I det øyeblikket bestemte Sofie seg for å være tilstede, å slippe taket i det som hadde vært, og åpne seg for det som kunne komme.En: In that moment, Sofie decided to be present, to let go of what had been, and to open herself to what could come.No: Livet var ennå fullt av muligheter og gleder, og hun gledet seg over å utforske dem sammen med Lars og Ingrid.En: Life was still full of possibilities and joys, and she looked forward to exploring them together with Lars and Ingrid.

Noe magisk skulle virkelig skje.En: But Sindre was right. Something magical was really going to happen.No: Kjetil, museumets vakt, gikk rolig gjennom salen.En: Kjetil, the museum's guard, walked calmly through the hall.No: Han likte å gjøre besøket til barna litt ekstra spesielt.En: He enjoyed making the children's visit a bit extra special.No: Han tok et øyeblikk til å smile til de forbipasserende, før han stoppet opp ved siden av Sindre.En: He took a moment to smile at the passersby before he stopped next to Sindre.No: "Hei, unge mann," sa Kjetil konspiratorisk.En: "Hey, young man," said Kjetil conspiratorially.No: "Kanskje er dinosaurene ikke så død som de ser ut."En: "Perhaps the dinosaurs aren't as dead as they seem."No: Sindre lyst opp. Ingrid himlet med øynene, men følte seg likevel litt urolig.En: Sindre lit up. Ingrid rolled her eyes but still felt a little uneasy.No: Da lyste T-rexens øyne opp som små lommelykter.En: Then the T-rex's eyes lit up like small flashlights.No: Sindre ropte oppspilt, "Se, Ingrid! Den lever!"En: Sindre shouted excitedly, "Look, Ingrid! It's alive!"No: Folk rundt dem lo vennlig, men trodde det bare var en del av utstillingen.En: People around them laughed kindly, thinking it was just part of the exhibit.No: Ingrid var i ferd med å si det samme, men Sindre begynte å filme med telefonen sin.En: Ingrid was about to say the same, but Sindre began filming with his phone.No: "Må bevise det," mumlet Sindre og zoomet inn på T-rexen.En: "Must prove it," Sindre muttered, zooming in on the T-rex.No: Han knipset videoen akkurat i det T-rexen, tilsynelatende, blunket.En: He snapped a video just as the T-rex seemingly blinked.No: "Ingrid, jeg fikk det! Videoen!" men så, i det ønskede øyeblikk, gikk batteriet tomt.En: "Ingrid, I got it! The video!" but then, in the crucial moment, the battery ran out.No: Telefonen døde.

She placed a hand on his shoulder.No: "Kanskje..." begynte hun forsiktig, "kanskje det er noe i det du sier."En: "Maybe..." she began cautiously, "maybe there's something to what you're saying."No: Kjetil hadde i mellomtiden laget et lite lysshow for hele salen å se.En: Meanwhile, Kjetil had created a little light show for the entire hall to see.No: T-rexens øyne lyste igjen, og de svake bevegelsene skapte et snev av undring blant besøkende.En: The T-rex's eyes lit up again, and the faint movements created a hint of wonder among the visitors.No: Ingrid så bort på T-rexen med et nytt blikk, som om hun så noe hun aldri hadde lagt merke til før.En: Ingrid looked at the T-rex with a new gaze, as if seeing something she'd never noticed before.No: Sindre smilte fra øre til øre. "Kanskje ikke alt er som det ser ut," sa han triumferende.En: Sindre smiled from ear to ear. "Maybe not everything is as it seems," he said triumphantly.No: På vei hjem, tok Ingrid et øyeblikk for å snakke med Sindre.En: On the way home, Ingrid took a moment to talk to Sindre.No: Hun lente seg ned og hvisket, "Jeg tror ikke på magi ... men kanskje, kanskje er det noe mellom linjene vi ikke ser."En: She leaned down and whispered, "I don't believe in magic... but maybe, maybe there's something between the lines we don't see."No: Sindre så opp, med øyne som glødet av eventyrlyst.En: Sindre looked up, with eyes glowing with a sense of adventure.No: "Åh, Ingrid, det er nok mer enn ett mysterium her i verden."En: "Oh, Ingrid, there are surely more than one mystery in this world."No: Og med det, gikk de hjemover, hånd i hånd, med en felles forståelse om at kanskje noen ting er bedre når de er litt eventyrlige.En: And with that, they walked home, hand in hand, with a shared understanding that perhaps some things are better when they are a little adventurous.

Karl Liapunov joins EXPresso for a conversation about growing up between the US and Norway, taking a one-way ticket to Oslo, working with Nordic founders through StartupLab, and launching Starting Cold - a new video series focused on Nordic founders, operators, athletes and outliers building at an international level.Karl Liapunov grew up in the US with a strong Norwegian connection, Norwegian spoken at home, and summers spent in Norway. After starting his career in investment banking in Houston, he decided to leave the safe path behind, buy a one-way ticket to Oslo, and build a new chapter in Norway.That decision eventually led him to StartupLab, where he spent several years working closely with Norwegian and Nordic founders, particularly around energy, climate tech, internationalization and the bridge between the Nordics and global markets.Now Karl is based in New York and has launched Starting Cold — a new video series and platform built around Nordic founders, operators, athletes and outliers who are building at an international level.In this episode, we talk about what it means to grow up between two cultures, the difference between Norway and the US, why Norway is an incredible place to come from but sometimes a difficult place to stand out, and why Nordic companies often become very good at building but not always as good at telling the world what they have built.We also get into cold outreach, taking risk, moving countries without a perfect plan, StartupLab, energy and climate tech, media, venture, and why storytelling may become one of the most important tools for the next generation of Nordic founders.Topics we cover:Growing up between the US and NorwayNorwegian identity, language and culture from the outsideThe difference between American and Norwegian ambitionLeaving investment banking and moving to Oslo without a clear planBuilding a network from scratch in a new countryStartupLab and the Norwegian startup ecosystemEnergy, climate tech and Norway's international advantageWhy Nordic founders need stronger global storytellingThe role of media in venture, fundraising and ecosystem-buildingStarting Cold and Karl's mission to highlight Nordic outliersWhy cold outreach can change the direction of your lifeWhat Norway can learn from the US — and what it should not copySong credit via riverside.fmX64NDHCVOUSLFDEQ
The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the world's most complex and emotionally charged issues—but how should Christians think about it with both historical honesty and theological humility?In this episode of The Biblical Mind Podcast, Dru Johnson welcomes Robert Nicholson for a thoughtful response to a previous conversation about Being Christian After the Desolation of Gaza. Together, they explore competing historical narratives surrounding Israel, Palestine, Zionism, Hamas, the Oslo peace process, and the lasting impact of October 7. Rather than reducing the conflict to political slogans, they examine the fears, aspirations, and failures on both sides while asking what responsible Christian engagement should look like.The conversation addresses difficult questions about Palestinian leadership, Israeli security concerns, Christian perspectives on nationalism, colonialism, and violence, as well as the role of Palestinian Christians within a predominantly Jewish-Muslim conflict. Throughout, Robert argues that genuine understanding requires careful attention to history, humility in theological judgment, and a commitment to seeking peace without ignoring reality.Whether you're wrestling with Christian ethics, biblical theology, Middle East history, or contemporary geopolitics, this episode offers a nuanced framework for thinking beyond headlines and ideological caricatures toward wisdom, empathy, and faithful discipleship.Listen to the episode Robert is responding to: Click HereContact us at The Biblical Mind: Click HereWe are listener supported.

The Most Rev. Fredrik Hansen, Bishop of Oslo and a canon lawyer, joins Fr. Dylan Schrader to discuss the role of bishops in the Catholic Church. What is the college of bishops? How are bishops chosen? How do bishops relate to the pope? and more in this special episode of Sed Contra!
Qualcosa si è rotto nel mondo: ovunque si guardi, c'è un conflitto armato. Cominciamo dal Sudan, “la peggior crisi umanitaria in corso”, secondo le Nazioni Unite, conseguenza di una guerra civile entrata nel quarto anno di violenza, che ha già fatto 150 mila morti e minaccia oltre 13 milioni di persone. Lo raccontano da Khartoum Matteo D'Alonzo di Emergency e Philippe Kropf del Programma alimentare mondiale. Ma per questa prima speciale puntata del nuovo progetto di podcast settimanale della Redazione Esteri del Corriere della Sera, facciamo un ragionamento più ampio: sono in corso almeno 130 conflitti, nel conteggio del Comitato della Croce Rossa Internazionale; una tendenza in crescita negli anni Venti del Duemila, secondo l'ultimo rapporto dell'Istituto di ricerca sulla pace di Oslo. Che sta succedendo? “Ci sentiamo assediati dai conflitti, così tanto che alla fine non vorremmo sentirli, e sicuramente non vorremmo reagire”, osserva Barbara Stefanelli, condirettrice del Corriere della Sera. “Ci sono momenti di attenzione vera, di struggimento anche, e poi seguono lunghe fasi di rimozione o anche più banalmente di distrazione”. Che fare, allora? “In questa fase storica l'onestà è un elemento fondamentale di come facciamo informazione”, continua, “l'onestà nell'esercizio del nostro lavoro, che resta quello di raccogliere notizie e riproporle con chiarezza, con la massima completezza possibile, per dimostrare che non c'è tutta questa distanza, che non c'è noi e loro, che non c'è noi e loro guardando al Sudan, che non c'è noi e loro guardando alle ragazze iraniane che somigliano tantissimo alle nostre ragazze, che non c'è noi e loro guardando la gente che è rimasta intrappolata per mesi, per anni a Gaza e che è molto più importante capire come aiutare la popolazione di Gaza che azzuffarci tra noi, con quello sdegno che ci riempie talmente tanto di compiacimento che poi non facciamo niente”.Dunque un podcast per ridisegnare la mappa di un mondo nel caos, come alle origini della cartografia, un tentativo di capirlo. E di reagire. “Dopo la caduta del muro di Berlino, negli anni '90, c'era questa idea che si andava verso un mondo più pacifico, più giusto, con più democrazia - interviene Marilisa Palumbo, capo della redazione Esteri del Corriere - che la globalizzazione sarebbe equivalsa a più diritti, più libertà ovunque. Invece non è stato così. O meglio, lo è stato fino a un certo punto, ma poi c'è stata questa involuzione”. Persino Internet, che sembrava veicolo di libertà, è diventato strumento di repressione nelle mani degli autocrati. “L'ordine liberale internazionale è entrato in crisi e siamo piombati in una sorta di età dell'impunità in cui gli Stati, ma anche attori non statali, possono fare delle cose inaudite senza pagarne le conseguenze”. Ne abbiamo parlato anche con la politologa Nathalie Tocci, docente di Relazioni Internazionali alla Johns Hopkins University. “Si sta rompendo l'ordine internazionale, e per ordine intendiamo istituzioni, norme e quindi diritto internazionale. E perciò vediamo guerre intrastato, che a differenza del passato, stanno acquisendo sempre più dimensioni regionali o dimensioni globali, e anche guerre tra gli Stati”. Che erano quasi scomparse. “Ci potevano essere, come dire, accordi e disaccordi su 1.000 questioni, ma su una cosa erano tutti d'accordo: che la base del diritto internazionale, integrità territoriale e sovranità, diciamo, non si toccava”Tutto saltato, tutto da rifare. Molto lavoro per questo podcast.

Reisen Reisen - Der Podcast mit Jochen Schliemann und Michael Dietz
60.000 Menschen singen im Olympiastadion, Jochen guckt aus dem Fenster auf zwei Pferde in der Wallonie. Diesmal reisen die beiden wegen der Kunst. Michi war bei den Foo Fighters in Berlin, dem größten Konzert der Band auf deutschem Boden, und Jochen erzählt von seinem Treffen mit Dave Grohl und dass Paul McCartney auch irgendwie dabei war. Dann geht's zum angesagtesten Museums-Besuch des Jahres ins Kölner Museum Ludwig zu Yayoi Kusama, der japanischen Künstlerin, die Reisende vielleicht von ihrem weltberühmten Kürbis auf der japanischen Insel Naoshima kennen. Und es wird auch mal unbequem, wenn Michi die Schattenseiten der laufenden Fußball-WM thematisiert - verbunden mit einem Podcast-Tipp. Am Ende bleibt eine Weekender Card und eine Frage, deren Antwort persönlicher wird als gedacht: allein reisen oder zu zweit?—Unsere Werbepartner findet ihr hier.Mehr Reisen Reisen gibt es bei Instagram.Abboniere unseren Newsletter unter https://www.reisenreisen.info/p/newsletterFoto-Credit: Thomas Rabsch Instagram—MUSIKFoo Fighters — US-Rockband um Dave Grohl (früher Schlagzeuger bei Nirvana); ihr Berliner Olympiastadion-Konzert 2026 war ihr bislang größtes Konzert auf deutschem Boden.

When you're a Norwegian musician, you get used to hearing a lot of the band A-ha, the biggest ever to come out of the Nordic country shaped like an arm from the elbow down. And that's fine with Sondre Lerche, the most popular Norwegian solo musicians of all time. Sondre adored A-ha by rarely gets to share all his knowledge. Until this bedtime, that is. Sondre also reads the names of 15 fjords in their authentic pronunciations and also teaches our Norwegian-American host how to accurately pronounce his own middle name and the names of his parents, in both Bergen and Oslo dialects. Listen to Sondre Lerche's new single, "Follow the River," on Sondre's YouTube channel or on the streaming service of your choice. Sondre's upcoming album, Acrobats, is out August 21st.
