    115 | Policing in Denmark: Myths, Realities & What Internationals Should Know

    Respect. Trust. Laws. Myths. Police. Denmark. Policing in Denmark isn’t what you might expect. In this episode, Allan Hansen, Deputy Chief Superintendent of Copenhagen Police, joins Derek, Mike, and Brooke to demystify how policing really works here. From the difference between 112 and 114, to what’s legal (and what’s not) when it comes to biking, drinking, or swimming in the harbor, the team cuts through the myths internationals often carry with them. Allan also shares what makes Danish policing unique: one unified force, a strong culture of trust, and a focus on preventing problems before they escalate. If you’ve ever wondered whether jaywalking will get you fined, what to do if you lose your phone at a café, or how police handle scams, nightlife, and language barriers, this conversation has the answers. You’ll even hear a few wild stories from Allan’s 30 years on the job including a sheep’s head gone wrong and a city bus nose-diving into a canal. Get the clarity you need to feel safe, confident, and informed.

    113 | Reverse Culture Shock: A Dane Returns After Many Years Abroad

    Reverse culture shock hits home hard. Coming home isn’t always easy. After thirteen years in London, Danish comedian Sofie Hagen returns to Denmark and finds that re-entry can be just as surprising as moving abroad. From missing rye bread and blunt small talk to discovering how “first of all” sounds like starting a fight in British emails, Sofie shares the joys and shocks of repatriation with humor and honesty. This episode explores what internationals and Danes alike can learn about belonging, identity, and the hidden “recipe” of being Danish. Listen in for laughter, awkward truths, and the fifth stage of culture shock: coming back.

    Once you’ve been in Denmark a while, the questions get more nuanced.

In this listener Q&A, Derek Hartman answers the second-layer questions of international life in Denmark with humor, honesty, and a few surprises.

    111 | Denmark vs. Deepfakes: Who Really Wins?

    Denmark Says: You Own Your Face. Denmark just handed its citizens a legal copyright on themselves — your face, voice, and body are officially yours. Instead of clamping down on deepfake tech like a digital killjoy, the law flips the script and makes it an ownership game: if someone makes a fake of you, you can force them to take it down. Derek and Mike explore how this clever move stacks up against EU and French rules, the wild range of deepfake risks from silly to sinister, and why keeping up with AI might be the ultimate whack-a-mole.

    110 | Danish vs. International School in Denmark: A Cultural Conversation About Choice, Language, and Belonging

    What makes a Danish school... Danish? This week, return guest Ilana Bull—an international school teacher and parent—joins Derek and Brooke to explore how school systems in Denmark reflect much more than just academics. From class structure to communication styles, from birthday customs to the role of play, this episode dives into the everyday cultural signals baked into the Danish approach to education. It’s an overview on how to decide on which school your child should go to and also a reflection on what school says about belonging, trust, independence, and integration in Denmark.

    109 | Homesickness, Red Soda and Comedy culture in Denmark versus the UK with Comedian Sofie Hagen

    Out of place, even back home. Sofie Hagen left Denmark to pursue comedy in London—and came back a different person. This conversation with Derek, Conrad, and Brooke explores the mix of pride, pressure, and self-doubt that can come with returning to your home country after years abroad. But because the topic is comedy—across Denmark, the UK, and back again—it’s anything but heavy. There's also a detour into stationery obsessions and homesick cravings for red soda and rye bread. From navigating Denmark’s deeply rooted humility culture (Janteloven) to relearning how to write jokes in her native language, Sofie opens up about identity shifts, outsider feelings, and why it’s harder to be funny in Danish than in English. It’s a thoughtful, hilarious look at creativity, community, and the weirdness of repatriation. Whether you’ve lived abroad, felt like too much, or wondered how culture shapes your voice, this one’s for you.

    108 | Redefining Belonging for Internationals in Denmark

    Narcis didn’t just move to Denmark—he moved the needle. What began as a frustrating student experience turned into a powerful journey of activism, visibility, and political impact. From challenging exclusion in student councils to launching Last Week in Denmark, a very popular newsletter now published in nine languages, he’s running for city council and calling for a complete reframe of how internationals are seen—pushing to replace the outdated Ministry of Integration with a Ministry of Internationals. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider or wondered how real change happens, this episode shows exactly what’s possible.
