Two weeks ago, we talked about the comedy scene in the Faroe Islands. This week, an actual example of Faroese comedy. Heri Simonsen performed some stand up comedy last week, and he has one bit he does in English, and he's kind enough to let us share it with you.We'll also update you on all the action on last week's X Factor, and travel to Hvannasund (pictured above) and dream of islands just out of our reach.
As always, you can listen on iTunes, on our media player above, or you can download the show directly here:

Podcast 130: Høgni Hoydal and the Law Thing
This week, we talk to the head of the Republican Party (the liberal one on the Faroe Islands, not the conservative one in the US) about politics, independence, and the possible drafting of a constitution. We also get a tour of the Faroese parliament. And, of course, we check in on last week's action in X Factor.

Also, if anyone has a good photo of the painting in the Faroese parliament building, let us know. Would love to post it here.
