Hvad har Johannes Døberen i fængslet, Heinesens figur Stive Stine i Torshavn og krigsenker i Berlin efter Anden Verdenskrig til fælles? De venter. Adventstid er ventetid, og i denne uges udgave af Prædiken på vej kan du høre sognepræst i Grundtvigs Kirke, Agnete Veit, i samtale med Andreas Riis Damgaard, sognepræst i Mariendal Kirke tale om læsningerne til 3. søndag i advent, der alle handler om at vente. Talen falder især på forholdet mellem Det Gamle Testamente og Det Nye Testamente, hvor overgangen går fra hævnens Gud til den, der kommer til alle os, der er fattige på forskel vis.

Interview by Dermot Liddy in Torshavn

Interview by Patrick Cooke

In today's episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast, I speak with Captain Watson about the recent grindadrap in the Faroe Islands.  About 80 to 100 pilot whales were slaughtered in the Torshavn harbor, right next to a visiting cruise ship.  Unfortunately the John Paul Dejoria was unable to make it to the harbor before the whales were beached and slaughtered by the Faroese people.  Captain Watson hopes that with the help of the on-shore volunteers we will be able save the next pod of whales or dolphins targeted. Support the showhttps://www.paulwatsonfoundation.org/https://shop.paulwatson.com/

On this episode, we talk to filmmaker Gudmund Helmsdal about his short film, Brother Troll, which has been hoovering up awards at film festivals around the world for more than a year. We'll talk about his journey to becoming a filmmaker, which started in the Faroe Islands and took him to Denmark and Austrailia before returning him to his home. Then we'll sit on a bench in Torshavn and think about change.

On this special episode of Home and Away, Stella talks to an Icelandic and a Faroese comedian about an upcoming (now in the past) comedy show in Torshavn, and the gowth of comedy in both the Faroe Islands and Iceland.

Faroese voters head to the polls this week to chose who will represent them in the Law Thing. On this episode, we'll get an overview of the upcoming election with Sveinur Trondarson, he's the editor of Faroese newspaper Dimmalaetting. We'll also visit a candidate forum in Torshavn and trail our own Heri Simonsen as he casts an early vote at city hall. The Election is on Thursday, December 8th. No matter where you are in the world, you can watch live coverage of election returns on the KVF website.

Das war's, liebe Freunde. Die Sommerpause ist ab morgen offizielle beendet. Wir sind zwar noch ganz gefangen von der Tour de France, aber mit dem Zweitligastart richtet sich unser Fokus wieder auf den einheimischen Fußball. Zum Glück konnten wir mit Tobi direkt einen routinierten Gastkoch gewinnen, der uns das Auftaktspiel köstlich auseinandernimmt. Außerdem starten wir auch wieder unseren 10-Wochen-Turnus, auch wenn es uns ein bisschen leid tut, dass die letzte Woche nicht mit drin ist, denn mit den Siegen von Torshavn und Tetovo, sowohl dem 6. Platz von Schumi Junior hätten wir schon gut vorgelegt. Naja. Blöde Jeschischte.

On this episode, we take a look at FOUR new traffic lights in Torshavn. That's right, in the course of a year the number of traffic lights in the capitol has DOUBLED. That seems like a big deal, which may explain why we've used ALL CAPS in THREE DIFFERENT SENTENCES. Also, at the top of the show, we'll get an update on our annual fundraiser. If you'd like to donate, you can visit our gofundme page and toss a little somehting into the collection plate.

What a fun episode this week! Two listeners sent us reports on their travels to yarn shops from Ohio all the way to the Faroe Islands. Kelly and Marsha are together at Kelly's house, so once again this episode will not be edited so we have more time to play with string.

I've “lost” somewhere in my house the navy yarn for the toe. Garter Squish Blanket On the seventh of fourteen contrasting colors  I frogged the Phrancko Designs crew neck from Phrancko.com by Frank Jernigan as it was too small. I don't think this is a problem with the Phrancko program but a problem with my gauge. I started a new sweater using Unpattern Top Down Raglan Pullover by Karen Alfke. Still knitting on cowl with four colors green (Amazon), blue (Cornflower), light blue (Rain), and mauve (Plum)  I'm spinning a 2lb bag of Manx Loaghton in my stash. This is a protected breed from the Isle of Man. I am using a woolen spun technique and have spun 5 skeins or approximately 400 yards  Kelly's Projects I'm still working on spinning (Oxford this time) so I can keep working on the Garter Squish blanket using handspun leftovers. So far there is only one yarn that was from a commercial braid of fiber. All the rest are small mill or  hand carded and dyed by me. We'll see if I'm able to continue that.  I also started a Mielie vest. I'm using Schaeffer Yarn Company Little Danya mohair. Considered bulky so I did some modifications to the pattern. Color is Rosa Parks and it was spirit yarn from NoCKRs retreat in 2018.  We Want to Hear You! Give us a call and tell us about your favorite LYS!  Go to speakpipe.com/twoewes and leave a message.

We'll put your voice feedback on the show!   From Janie- Stash 46:  Hear all about her LYS, Around the Table Yarns in Ohio.  From Cat-Catitude: Here is the last of the audio on The Faroe Islands. It's about Navia, the most visible yarn company both locally and internationally. They've done a neat thing: they designed vests and sweaters for a brand new detective series 'Trom' (available on viaplay.dk) which is set and filmed on the Faroes, the first of it's kind here on the islands. Scandinavia has a long standing tradition of thrillers and detectives, sometimes referred to as Nordic Noir.  Some people may know the Danish series 'The Killing' (Forbrygdelse) from 2011 which features a very popular knitted sweater worn by detective Sarah Lund. That sweater was designed by Faroese fashion designers Gudrun & Gudrun and can therefore not be sold as a pattern. (Although there are charts floating around Ravelry, and it's easy to make up your own version. I've seen at least 30 Faroese people this week wearing a homemade sweater just like it, including children.) The sweaters are still being sold in all sizes by Gudrun & Gudrun here in Torshavn. Navia wanted to get in on the action this time, and they worked together with the director and team who produced 'Trom'. One of the Navia-family members even wrote on the script.  There are only 60.000 Faroese people (in total!) so you can imagine that a lot of locals were involved in the filming. The Mayor of Runavik, the third city here, even plays a part as a security guard!  I talked at length with the lady in the Navia flagstore at the village of Toftir (in Faroese) about Trom. I included some short audio bits, might be fun to hear a totally different language! She pointed out that there are also a lot of older knitted sweaters in the series, which makes sense because everyone here wears wool all the time. Lots to look at, even for knitters who are not into murder mysteries! And of course you get a glimpse of this fabulous archipelago. She has also given permission for both the audio and her picture to go onto the podcast and shownotes, I told her about the Two Ewes and asked her permission specifically! Audio "Navia Toftir": english info by me Audio "What is Trom": she explains it's a detective series and Navia has designed vests and sweaters. Audio "Nerd": she explains we knitters can really 'nerd out' when watching the series, as you can look at all the sweaters and knit them at the same time! The patterns for Trom will be available in English on the Navia website shortly: www.Navia.fo Also, please see pics for the beautiful store.  Best wishes from your foreign correspondent :) :)  Cat The Wool Islands video about the Faroe Islands  Stitches West 2022 Celebration Giveaway: Instagram and Ravelry ends soon– April 15.

Justitsminister Nick Hækkerup og udviklingsmininister Flemming Møller Mortensen er i Kosovo for at underskrive en politisk erklæring om bl.a. leje af 300 fængselspladser. Vi ser på, hvad det er for et land, som Danmark har valgt som samarbejdspartner. Og hvordan folk i Kosovo tager imod ideen om at skulle huse danske fanger. Regeringen i Torshavn er kommet under pres, fordi to lagtingsmedlemmer fra de store koalitionspartier i dag stemmer ja til oppositionens forslag, der giver flere rettigheder til homoseksuelle mødre. Vi får en rapport fra den færøske hovedstad. USA's præsident Biden har sat næsten alt ind på at bruge flere tusinde milliarder dollars på én stor, social- og klimareform. Men nu risikerer han, at den falder på gulvet, fordi en af hans egne, den demokratiske senator Joe Manchin fra den lille, fattige kulstat West Virginia ikke vil støtte sit partis og præsidentens store reformplan. Mathias Bay Lynggaard og Søren Carlsen er dagens værter. Birgitte Gadegaard er redaktør. www.dr.dk/Orientering.

Kasper Hjulmands landshold er i færd med at sikre en historisk hurtig dansk VM-kvalifikation, og de rød-hvide står generelt stærkt ovenpå sommerens EM-togt til semifinalen på Wembley. Men hvor godt, står de rent faktisk? Skal Danmark nævnes blandt favoritterne til næste års VM-titel, og hvilken nation fortjener at få prædikatet: VM-favoritter? Det kommer der masser af god fodboldsnak ud af, når panelet med Andreas Kraul og Francis Dickoh i denne uge laver en liste med de 11 bedste bud på en kommende verdensmester. Derudover er der nedslag i alt fra et historisk møde i Torshavn til et fodboldmæssigt mysterium på Fyn. Og så varmes der lidt overraskende op til en fiktiv landskamp med Danmark og Messis Argentina i Lugano tirsdag aften.

383. Last 10 Mins of a Great Game - Europa Leage Qualifiers Epic Finishes B36 Torshavn & Honved win by Gavin Viano

In 2012, LGBT Faroe Islands staged an historic pride march in Torshavn. Organizers were hoping 1,000 people would show up in the Faroese capital. Instead, 5,000 showed up, and history was made. On this podcast, we'll revisit that march, and get an update on what has happened in the 8 years since. Also, we've got an update on the pandemic. For the latest infection numbers and news, check out the Faroese government's COVID-19 website.  We also briefly mention that Faroese music has been pulled from YouTube. What wasn't clear in the podcast was that the music has been pulled in Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands.  You can read more about it here.

On this podcast, we visit the small and isolated island of Svinoy. And keep in mind, it's even small and isolated by Faroese standards. We'll talk to the man who, along with his wife, runs the only cafe on the island. He'll tell us how he and his wife made the decision to live somewhere quiet and remote when they lived in Qatar. We'll also get an update on COVID in the Faroe Islands, and hear some sound from a Black Lives Matter rally in Torshavn.

While people can't travel, the Faroe Islands are offering remote tours that let people use the internet to control a tour guide and see the archipelago's small towns and volcanic islands. The tours were started to help sustain global interest in the North Atlantic islands, where tourism has recently become an important industry. It will also help people in lockdown see more of the world. The idea is to make people want to come and experience the Faroe Islands in real life, said Levi Hanssen from the tourist board. Local guides wear helmets with cameras on them and take online audiences across the archipelago while also providing information. "If you ask them to go left, they go left. If you ask them to jump, they jump. If you ask them to run, they run," said Hanssen. Nearly 50,000 people joined the first four-hour-long tours, which are offered for free, said Hanssen. Most people were trying to get one of the one-minute-long slots for controlling the guide, which are given to whoever signs up for them first. The tours will continue until at least April 25 and will be shown on the tourist board's website, and on its Facebook and Instagram pages. There are also plans for a kayak tour, a horse ride and more. The Faroe Islands are home to 50,000 people, most of whom live in Torshavn, the capital city. There have been less than 200 cases of COVID-19 on the archipelago and no deaths.

On this show, we talk to a Serbian athlete about the years she spent playing volleyball in the Faroe Islands.  Then we sit on a beach and listen as the water drains out through the pebbles. It's quite soothing. Also, we say happy birthday to Sirkus Foroyar. That's the Torshavn pub that has drastically altered the cultural landscape in the Faroes. It turned 10 this month.

Mikkel is the founder, owner and CEO of one of the world's most acclaimed microbreweries, Mikkeller. Mikkel is the world’s most prolific craft brewer and has become a celebrity in his own right, a leading figure in a sector that has gone from a niche trend to something  mainstream. He is a bad ass runner himself and his company endorses 2 running clubs, the world famous Mikkeller Running Club, which is a social gathering that involves running and drinking beer, not necessarily always on this particular order, and the Hechman Mikkeller Running Club, focused on the development of talented fast runners. Mikkeller has expanded from his base in Copenhagen to create a brewing and hospitality empire in 50 very diverse locations worldwide— from San Diego to Taipei, Tokyo, Bucharest, Warsaw and even Torshavn, capital of the Faroe Islands.  Hope you’ll enjoy this singular conversation, with this great person and great mind!

On this episode, we announce our live show at the G! Festival, get an update on our fundraising campaign, and talk to a quartet of German groundhoppers. Then we'll sit on some big stairs in Torshavn. If you'd like to donate to our gofundme campaign, you can find the link here. 

I Færøernes hovedstad, Torshavn, ligger et lille katolsk nonnekloster. Her har seks franciskanersøstre deres liv med bøn, pligter og stilhed. Katarina Lewkovitch har fået lov at bo i klosteret og følge med i en hverdag, der består af enkelhed og meditation. Derudover reflekterer fotografen Kirsten Klein og meditationslærer Klaus Kornø Rasmussen over stilhedens væsen og dens betydning. (Sendt første gang 22. april).

Quentin Sommerville considers the last days of the Islamic State in Baghouz, Syria - and examines the question of what to do with its fighters and sympathisers once the battle is over. The case of Shamima Begum has dominated the headlines, but there are many more like her. Kate Adie introduces his report and other stories from around the world. The Dadaab camp in northeastern Kenya is one of the largest refugee settlements anywhere - with nearly a quarter of a million people living there, nearly all Somalis fleeing violence and insecurity. But Kenya's government, and the UNHCR, which runs Dadaab, don't want them there forever, and have offered them incentives to return home to Somalia. Sally Hayden heard how that can be easier said than done. The campaigning for Ukraine's Presidency is heating up: voters will choose a leader for the country at the end of March, and they have a plethora of choices with over 44 names on the ballot paper. Jonah Fisher got to meet some of the candidates, and was left both intrigued and perplexed. "Rural depopulation" may sound rather abstract, but in one of Spain's fast-emptying villages, Linda Pressly saw what it means in practice to be part of a community of only three people, surrounded by reminders of a more bustling past. And Tim Ecott revels in the rugged tastes of the Faroes - from lightly mildewed air-dried lamb to roast gannet - as a restaurant near Torshavn gathers its second Michelin star.

I sin lyriska musik använder han urgamla färöiska folkmusikmelodier som grundstenar. - Men Europa är min hembygd och havet förenar mer än det åtskiljer, säger Sunleif Rasmussen. Nordiska Rådets Musikpris gick 2002 till den färöiske tonsättaren Sunleif Rasmussen för Färöarnas första symfoni, nr 1 Oceanic Days. Prismotiveringen lyder: "Som en tonkonstens William Heinesen har Sunleif Rasmussen satt Färöarna på den musikaliska kartan. Hans Symfoni nr.1 - Oceanic Days, den första färöiska symfonin, hämtar sin inspiration ur den färöiska naturen men också ur färöiska uråldriga koraler. Av detta har Sunleif Rasmussen skapt ett verk med omfattande dimensioner, som utstrålar en självklar konstnärlig integritet och kombinerar stramhet och struktur med lyrisk känsla." I sina kompositioner, uppbyggda enligt spektralanalysens strikta idéer, använder Sunleif Rasmussen urgamla färöiska folkmusikmelodier som grundstenar. Men musiken är lyrisk då Rasmussen "spelar pingpong mellan de båda hjärnhalvorna". Han ser sig själv som en crossover-kock som mixar olika slags ingredienser i en rätt som är allt annat än tonal. Och allt annat än gammelmodernistisk. Sunleif Rasmussen, från en släkt av fiskare och bönder, utbildade sig i Oslo och Köpenhamn och vänder sig mot nationalism och naturromantik. -Jag är uppvuxen med havet tätt inpå och min musik beter sig ibland som havet. Men Europa är min hembygd och havet förenar mer än det åtskiljer, förklarar Sunleif Rasmussen i ett samtal med Birgitta Tollan. Sunleif Rasmussen är även passionerad kördirigent och anser att rösten är det mest intressanta av alla instrument. Birgitta Tollan stämde träff med tonsättaren för ett samtal i Köpenhamn, den stad där Sunleif Rasmussen bodde i 13 år, före och efter sina studier vid Det Kongelige Musikkonservatorium där en av hans lärare hette Ib Nørholm. Nu bor och komponerar Sunleif Rasmussen i sina farföräldrars hus på en av Färöarnas 16 bebodda öar, nämligen Sandoy. Dessutom undervisar han kompositionselever på Musikskolan i Torshavn, Färöarnas huvudstad. På Färöarna lever 50 000 människor och 100 000 får!

This week, we visit a memorial to the only Faroese person to win a Nobel Prize: Niels Finsen. We also announce our plans for our 300th episode in July.

To learn more and RSVP, check out our event page on Facebook.  Also, we're raising funds for the next season of the podcast. To donate head on over to our gofundme page.

This week, we visit the grand opening of Mikkeller in Torshavn. The Danish brewery operates just a handful of bars, mostly in large cities like Tokyo and San Francisco. But now there's one on Torshavn. We'll talk about how the Faroe Islands ended up with such an attraction, and talk about the massive changes the Faroese capitol has seen over the past few years. If you want to see some photos of the Mikkeller opening, you can see a great gallery from Pi Performance Photography here.

On this week's podcast, we talk to Jórun Mørkøre about being the only female bodybuilder in the Faroe Islands, and her upcoming competition at the world championships in Boston. Then we'll stand at the marina in Torshavn and reflect on this year's visit to the Faroes. Update: Jórun made the top 5 in Boston. While the bad news is that she didn't finish on top, the good news is that this means she'll compete for at least another year. Congratulations, Jórun!

As Christmas approached the Faroe Islands, so did a massive storm that brought winds as strong as a category 3 hurricane. Thousands of buildings were damaged and cars were thrown into the sea by the violent winds. We talk to KVF reporter Svein Magnason about the storm and its aftermath, and one small bit of good news that came from it. Then we'll go for a rainy walk in Torshavn and think about the year that has past.

This week, we talk to Jon Tyril about HOYMA. Tyril conceived of it as an "un-festival" where acoustic concerts were staged in people's living rooms.

We'll hear some sound from the march, then talk to Eiler Fagraklett about the march and what it all meant.

He was the coach of the Austrian National Football Team on September 12, 1990 when that team was on the wrong end of what's still called the biggest upset in international football history. The Faroe Islands team, playing their first World Cup Qualifier ever, beat Austria 1-0.

Once again this week, we're wandering the streets of Torshavn. But unlike last week, it's no longer aimless. We meet up with Jogvan A Dul and tag along as he takes pictures of the Faroese capital. He takes this same series of photos almost every morning, then posts them onto Facebook.

And finally, we'll step outside in Torshavn and hear the air filled with music.

En av Nordens aller flotteste ruiner fra middelalderen ligger på Kirkjubøur, like syd for Torshavn på Færøyene. Bare noen få meter fra havkanten ligger Magnuskatedralen ut mot St.-Brendans viken. Var det irske munker som først kom hit i hundreårene før vikingtiden, eller kanskje var det omstreifere fra Vestlandet som grunnla sitt eget rike ? De eldste arkeologiske sporene peker mot Norge,- restene etter en liten stavkirke, reist omkring år 800 på en slette tvers over sundet for det berømte Kyrkjubø. Men det er på gressbakkene under de stupbratte fjellene på ”Kirke-bøen” de gotiske ruinene av Magnuskatedralen står og ruver. Kloss inntill ligger en hvit stenkirke innviet til St.Olav, og viken utenfor heter Brendansviken, oppkalt etter den irske helgenen. Og oppe i den bratte ura ligger ”Sverrehola”, stedet der den senere kong Sverre ifølge sagaen ble gjemt for sine fiender før han reiste til Norge. Rundt det hele suser Atlanterhavet, vi er aldri mer enn noen få meter fra strandkanten på Færøyene, i bena våre napper fårehunder som passer på de 70.000 sauene. Dobbelt så mange som det bor mennesker på disse øyene. Som absolutt ikke er utenfor verden. - Færøyene er en viktig del av Nordens historie, og historiebevisstheten spiller en stor rolle i dagens selvstendighetskamp, sier Riksantivar Simon Arge, som er MUSEUMs veiviser i dette programmet som ble sendt første gang i 2002.
