    22- Norsk/Norwegian language Part 2 featuring Norwegian With Tor!

    After all these years, it's finally time to bring in an actual expert. When we heard that Torleif Villmones AKA Norwegian With Tor wanted to share some Norwegian language wisdom, we were delighted to have someone who knows what they're talking about join us. Tor shares some tips and tricks, experience in teaching, and of course teaches us about dirty idioms. He gets us. Want to start learning?

    21- Norsk/Norwegian language Part 1

    A deep dive (or shallow, if you're a linguist listening) into one of the building blocks of Norwegian society: the language itself. How did it develop, do you write beiken or bacon, and what is actually the difference between Bokmål and Nynorsk? Theme music: Fuji Fakes New jingle: Christopher Helberg

    19- Books/Bøker

    To support the establishment of Indigo's bookstore in Oslo, Normal for Norway recorded a very special LIVE episode! The topic of course: books. Did Vikings have books? What did they like to carve on rocks? How much did the new Oslo library cost, and why is it always overrun by the cast of Skam? All this and more will be answered. You can still donate to help start the bookstore at spleis.no/prismaticpages Find out more about Prismatic Pages at prismaticpages.com, or on Instagram and Facebook.

    17- Foraging/Sanking Part 1

    As autumn is soon upon us, it felt time to address a very cozy topic: foraging. Have you ever picked berries in the woods? What about mushrooms, or nettles? Warnings and tips abound, but first we dive into the history and significance of foraging (New Nordic cuisine anyone?). Theme music: Fuji Fakes News jingle: Christopher Helberg
