Episode Synopsis

Today on the RÚV English Podcast service, a new episode of The Week In Iceland.

Darren is joined by music journalist Lydia Athanasopoulou from her home in Siglufjörður to look back over a week which saw interest rates rise to battle stubborn inflation, the use of some very creative baking techniques to launch sex education week in schools, delays announced to the expansion of Akureyri Airport, and the recall of a certain cooking aid from Icelandic shelves.

Lydia also talks about a new strand coming soon to the RÚV English Podcast service, which will trace the histories of various musical genres on this incredibly creative island.

Today's show plays out with "Don't Be Sad" by Seabear.
