Welcome to RÚV English Radio - the new name for the RÚV English Podcast!

We cover everything Icelandic - news, culture, music, language, events, people, places and more.

You can find our daily English show in all the same places, including Spotify and Apple and all podcast outlets - if you are a subscriber, nothing will change, the programme will pop up as it always has, just with a new name and image.

Find the show right here on the RÚV Player exactly as before - all the new shows will appear in the usual way at https://www.ruv.is/utvarp/spila/ruv-english-radio/34448 - and that is also where you will find the archive of all previous podcast episodes.

We kick off with the new name with a show from Vallanes, near Egilsstaðir, in East Iceland.

Móðir Jörð (https://modirjord.is/en/) is an independent family owned organic farm and food producer in Vallanes. They grow cereals and various types of vegetables, and the farm is open for visits from May - October.

On a very warm September day, Darren went to meet Eygló Björk Ólafsdóttir, who owns and runs the farm with her husband Eymundur.
