  • Morten Rønnelund Interview Part I: The Man Behind the Microphone - The Forrin Podcast
    Nov 26 2024

    The Forrin Podcast is honored to have interviewed Morten Rønnelund for this, and next, week's episodes. Morten is among many other things the UK Correspondent for the newly revamped Danish Radio 4. He also does audiobooks, is the Head of Department for Vejle Library. He an editor. He gives talks - many, many strings to his bow.


    In this part of the interview Morten talks about his background, where he's from and why he loves London and the UK so much. Pat and Mike ask him about whether he feels his Danish identity has been affected by his immersion in British culture and Morten laments how he often falls into speaking American English, rather than his preferred British English, and of course much, much more.


    Part II will be out next week.


    Enjoy.

    Nov 20 2024

    After a week's hiatus due to Pat and Mike veritably speechless after the US election result, the team finally peel themselves off the floor and try to find some kind of solace in making sense of it all. Pat discusses the affect of the media and the pitfalls of capitalism, while makes looks inwards and blames himself, and everyone else like him. The pair also discuss whether definition the term "foreign" should be expanded.


    It's a doozie.
