Very few places in Reykjavík have endured or garnered such a unique reputation as downtown institution Prikið. Known today as the beating heart of Iceland's hip hop scene, the cultural icon goes back way further than many people — including us! — even know.

On this episode, Prikið's co-owner and well-known local character Geoffrey Þór Huntingdon-Williams joins us in the studio and gives us a deep dive into Prikið's past, present and future, offering us a glimpse into a rich and storied history that continues to this day as a living breathing saga of its own.

Prikið is posted up at Bankastræti 12, 101 Reykjavík. If you're strolling through downtown for the first time, you'll recognize it from the iconic "cock on a stick" above its corner entry.

Opening track: XXX Rottweiler hundar — Þér er ekki boðið (2001)
Closing track: Spacestation — Fokking lagið (r. March 1)
