A detailed and exhaustive history of the Norwegian People, written in two volumes. The author, Knut Gjerset, was born in Western Norway in 1865 and immigrated to Chippewa County, Minnesota, in the US with his parents in 1871 and his brother Oluf later got elected to public office there. He received a B.A. in Literature from the University of Minnesota, and also studied at John's Hopkins University from 1895-1896, and the University of Heidelberg, where he was awarded a PhD, from 1896-1898. This first volume deals with the Norwegian History from the earliest times, to the early 14th century and covers topics such as: Prehistoric Norway and iron and Bronze age cultures in the area, the Viking era, The Christianization of Norway and some related information on Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Shetland/Orkney Islands, etc., Early kings of Norway, Norway in the Crusades, and foreign policy reformations at the beginning of the Late Middle Ages. - Summary by Ærik Bjørnsson

Well, the Faroe Islands are this incredibly scenic archipelago in the North Atlantic. Most people think of Iceland or Norway when they want to see dramatic landscapes, but the Faroe Islands are less crowded and equally jaw-dropping. Picture massive cliffs, waterfalls cascading into the sea, and the most picturesque villages you’ve ever seen. It’s like stepping into a postcard.

Back for its third season, Melody A.M., the Nordic Music Podcast, celebrates music and musicians from Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Finland and the Faroe Islands. Through interviews with a variety of (mostly) musical guests, the podcast delves into life in the Nordic region and explores what inspires some of the best acts hailing from these countries. www.melodyam.com

Listen to researchers talk about the history, society and culture of the Nordic region (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and the autonomous territories, Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Åland). Mainly interviews and panel discussions, but also synopses of particular historical events and topics within the humanities and social sciences written by researchers and read out in one of the Nordic languages as well as English.

This is a podcast with the greatest music makers on the Faroe Islands. The concept is to talk about one song. The musician also has to bring one physical item with them that reminds them of the song or the time that the song was written.

I am a heavy metal singer, guitarist and songwriter, I'm also very interested in languages, history, politics, philosophy and science. I will make podcasts about anything I find interesting. Let's see where this goes :-)
