15- Queer/Skeiv Part 1

After all these years, it's finally time to bring in an actual expert. When we heard that Torleif Villmones AKA Norwegian With Tor wanted to share some Norwegian language wisdom, we were delighted to have someone who knows what they're talking about join us. Tor shares some tips and tricks, experience in teaching, and of course teaches us about dirty idioms. He gets us. Want to start learning?

A deep dive (or shallow, if you're a linguist listening) into one of the building blocks of Norwegian society: the language itself. How did it develop, do you write beiken or bacon, and what is actually the difference between Bokmål and Nynorsk? Theme music: Fuji Fakes New jingle: Christopher Helberg

Newsflash: it's cold in Oslo right now. Really cold. And we aren't sick of talking, complaining, and speculating about it. So buckle for the whys, hows, and also what do you DOs of when it's -24 degrees.

To support the establishment of Indigo's bookstore in Oslo, Normal for Norway recorded a very special LIVE episode! The topic of course: books. Did Vikings have books? What did they like to carve on rocks? How much did the new Oslo library cost, and why is it always overrun by the cast of Skam? All this and more will be answered. You can still donate to help start the bookstore at spleis.no/prismaticpages Find out more about Prismatic Pages at prismaticpages.com, or on Instagram and Facebook.

As autumn is soon upon us, it felt time to address a very cozy topic: foraging. Have you ever picked berries in the woods? What about mushrooms, or nettles? Warnings and tips abound, but first we dive into the history and significance of foraging (New Nordic cuisine anyone?). Theme music: Fuji Fakes News jingle: Christopher Helberg

It's summer and what does that mean? That nothing is happening. But we dragged ourselves to the mics to record this podcast just for our listeners. Theme music: Fuji Fakes News jingle: Christopher Helberg

We're back and weighing in on sensitive topics like sunglasses (if you know, you know, and if you don't we'll fill you in), ferry boats, and the odd things people get up to when there's bad weather in Oslo. Theme music: Fuji Fakes News jingle: Christopher Helberg

It's a Pride miracle! We're popping by with some stories of iconic lesbians, criminalization and decriminalization of gay sex, and of course the news in review (gay sex...in the forest?). Theme music: Fuji Fakes News jingle: Christopher Helberg

Do you have water in your mouth yet? Because you're about to hear about the beloved Norwegian freezer pizza, Grandiosa; reviled by many foreigners, yet seldom given a proper examination. We even do a taste test to determine whether or not this easy meal is worth the 55 kroner (the answer may surprise you). And Indigo investigates: how dangerous is it exactly to bake a pizza when drunk? Theme music: Fuji Fakes News jingle: Christopher Helberg
