Today on RÚV English Radio, it's a double episode.

Iceland will go to the polls for the second time this year, after electing a new President in the summer. Now, elections for a new government, and to Alþingi, the country's parliament, will take place on November 30. Darren talks to RUV's Bogi Ágústsson about the vote, and its surprising timing.

Also today, a new episode of Auðskilið. Bjarni joins Darren again to read a news story in simple Icelandic.

We look at the story of healthy food advice being offered.
