Podcast 32 Goes Country

MARIUS, LIVE

Last month on the podcast, we featured a live set from Marius. Now he and his band are recording some of the songs they performed on the podcast. Here's a video of them recording one of their songs. Fun to watch... and to listen to.

Faroe Islands Review

This week we give a big shout out and plug to a site run by a dear friend. The Faroe Islands Review has information about the Faroes in English and is sort of a clearinghouse for photos, stories, and videos about the islands. It's also a good place to find old episodes of the podcast. They've got a full archive going all the way back to episode one.

So if you're interested in learning more about the Faroes, the Review is a good place to start.

This week's Faroe Photo is of Kirkjubøur. The village is considered the spiritual center of the Faroes. It is the site of three churches (one still intact), some of which date back to the middle ages. There's also a home that has been occupied by a single family for 17 generations.

It's a beautiful place.

Article on Tietur at the G! Festival this summer. (Note your fair host's supporting role as the "motley crew" in this story.) It's well work a read:
