The first day of Iceland Airwaves was a blast! While our six fantastic reporters are out and about to keep you updated on the highlights of the festival, we’re honoured to have with us American radio host and DJ Tim Pogo. In this second Tune In podcast, Tim grabs coffee with the Canadian sisters from The Garrys at snaps, explores the revitalised harbour area at Grandi food hall with Warmland and catches a glimpse at landmarks in Reykjavík music history with Arnar Eggert of Reykjavík Music Walk.

In episode one of Airwaves: Tuned In, Pogo first catches up with award-winning Icelandic musician Sindri Már of Seabear and Sin Fang fame to talk about the heavily anticipated Seabear album. 

Afterwards, he has a quick stop with Sindri—another, we know—the booking director of Airwaves to learn about the ins-and-outs of festival-making. 

Then it's onto rapper Cell7 about hip-hop and rap in Iceland and life changing experiences in Africa.

In episode 4, Pogo helps you wind down your Airwaves week in conversation with Icelandic artists Ólafur Arnalds and JFDR, plus the founder of Iceland Airwaves, Magnus Stephensen.

In episode three, Pogo talks to RVKDTR, music industry mover and shaker Colm O'Herlihy, new Airwaves festival operations manager Will Larnach Jones, and Var.
