    83 | The Danish King Who Played the Dating Game of Thrones

    In this episode, Derek, Conrad, and Brooke welcome back our resident royal expert, Anna Marie, for another fascinating look at Danish royalty. She kicks things off by quizzing us on some of Denmark’s most intriguing kings and queens before diving into the life and legacy of King Christian IX. How did a king from a relatively small nation manage to shape several European monarchies for generations? And what did these new alliances mean for Denmark’s place on the world stage? King Christian IX of Denmark wasn’t just a ruler—he was the ultimate matchmaker. Known as the “Father-in-Law of Europe,” he strategically married off his children and grandchildren to the most powerful thrones of the 19th and 20th centuries, turning Denmark into an unexpected royal powerhouse—one wedding at a time.

    80 | Denmark Was in Europe's Longest War and No One Knows (w/ Anders Morgenstierne)

    This week Derek is joined by Anders Morgenstierne, who has returned to WAYDID to discuss an obscure war from Danish history. Most Danes don't even know about this war - and that's because for most of history, no one in Denmark realized that it happened. During the period, Copenhagen was attacked twice and most of the Danish navy was destroyed. Despite all of that, for this particular war - which lasted 172 years and makes it the longest European war in history, there was not one single casualty. Enjoy this episode and don't forget this bizarre piece of history for your next pub quiz or Danish citizenship exam. This episode was inspired by a listener email.

    79 | Defending Denmark: Can Danes be a Little Too Sensitive?

    Derek, Brooke, and Conrad chime in on a recent viral post that claims Danes are overly defensive when it comes to your views on Denmark. The post of focus points out that Danish people are known to ask internationals living in Denmark what they think of their Danish lives, but aren't prepared to hear anything but a glowing review of the country. Even the most mild critiques are meant with deflections and defensive talking points according to the original post.
