Listen "This Amarkaner Life: The Cold Shock"
Episode Synopsis
The Helgoland sea-bathing club, at the northern tip of Amager's beach, is home to one of the world's oldest winter-bathing associations, Det Kolde Gys ("The Cold Shock").In episode four of This Amarkaner Life, we brave the heat of the sauna and the icy waters of the Øresund to talk to some of the association's hardiest members.We meet a woman who's been winter bathing for 30 years and a local physio who swims in the sea every morning and is one of the club's saunagus "masters".They reveal why they love winter bathing so much, how it makes them feel, how to get started, and why Helgoland, in particular, is so special.Further informationHelgolandGys og Gus, by Charlotte Ringbæk et al.Squares and Triangles SceneryVisit www.archipelagoaudio.com for more information.
