    Ice, Fire, Gods and Cods with Ásgeir and Hjalti in Reykjavik, Iceland

    Ice, Fire, Gods and Cods with Ásgeir and Hjalti in Reykjavik, Iceland

    On the island of fishing, of sheep, and of powerful Norse Gods, join local Vikings Ásgeir and Hjalti for a beer and a talk about all things Icelandic. 
    From ice to volcanoes, with a word of advice too, on what not to do as a tourist, get set for a tour of the life and countryside of fascinating Iceland!

































    Recorded in the elegant Slippbarinn bar in Reykyavik, Icelandic MMA gets a mention too, being linked with our studio for the evening. And this pod maybe even shares a bit of Hjalti's favourite Icelandic Runic band, Skálmöld with their song Kvaðning at the very end. Maybe. Only one way to find out...

    Toronto, Canada - Courteous Cops and Justin Jousts with Adi, Augustin and Canadian Ben

    Join locals Adi, Augustin and Canadian Ben on a comfy Toronto conversation sofa where we chat and sing about all things Canadian and Ontario. 
    In this episode of the Ukulele Road Trips podcast, a line-up as diverse as the city, and as kind as the country. Politeness and courtesy are explored and probably, also, applied, in a recording which also includes the most famous and atypical Canadian sport's fan.






























     
























































































     


    Also in this podcast, a battle between the two great Justins of Canada, Bieber and Trudeau, a bit of Pokemon, patience lessons, and an interview with the most gentlemanly law enforcement officer, performed while I was under arrest.

Fun Podcast!

Local guests bring the regional facts and insights while Ben brings the humor and songs. A great way to learn things you didn't know you didn't know about places you never thought about visiting!
