On this podcast, we talk about history being made, both big and small.

We start with a bried update on the remarkable rise of KI Klaksvik in the Champion's League qualifying rounds. They've already dispatched teams from Hungary and Sweden, and now stand poised to knock out a team from Norway. They've already become the first Faroese football team to qualify for the group stages of a European tournament. History, indeed.

Then we talk to the CEO of Atlantic Airways about the historic opening of air service between the Faroe Islands and New York.

And finally, we'll visit a long vanished river that has been brought back to life... in the form of a fountain.

Also, we're still in fundraising mode and could definitely use your help to nudge us over the finish line. If you're able, please visit our gofundme page and show us a little love. 

On this podcast, we talk about the 20th edition of the G! Festival. We'll hear some of the artists who will perform in Gota next week, and hear about the amenities and atmosphere you can expect at the three-day celebration of music.

After that, we'll hang out in a hotel lobby like we're Duke Fame (that's a deep cut).

We're also still in fundraising mode. You can help us pay for another season of podcasts by heading over to our Gofundme page and showing us a little love.

On this episode, we visit an old salt silo on Suduroy that has been converted to a performing arts center. We'll hear our impressions of the place back in 2010, when it was abandoned and in pretty rough shape. Then we'll see how it's been transformed into what it is today. There will be music. There will be food. There will be a bit of vertigo as we ascend a small spiral staircase. What more could you want?

Also, we're still in fundraising mode. If you can help us head back to the Faroes to record more episodes of this show, head on over to our gofundme page and show us some love.

On this episode, we talk to Glenn Larson who heads up Faroe Music Export (FMX). We talk about the music scene in the Faroe Islands, the challenges of promoting music from a remote country, and how this Norwegian ended up living in the Faroe Islands.

Also, we stand in a big parking lot where we can see both the future and the past of the Faroe Islands at the same time.

At the top of the show, we announce our fundraising campaign for the year. We're heading back to the Faroes to record more episodes of the podcast, and we could use a little help. If you can help, here's the link to our gofundme page.

On this episode of Home and Away, Stella talks to Iuliia from Russia. She's a professional volleyball player, an coach, and a... lawyer? That's right, she can spike whatever you set, then help you sue the other team because they were cheating. (Not absolutely sure that's the type of law she practices, but we can dream.)

We'll talk sport, law, and what it takes to learn a language while also trying to play a team sport.

On this episode, we finish up our conversation with Gudmund Helmsdal. He's the Faroese filmmaker whose short film "Brother Troll" has racked up awards at festivals around the world. He's also worked on "Peter Pan and Wendy" and the last James Bond film, both of which were partially shot in the Faroe Islands. We'll talk abotu the future of filmmaking in the Faroe Islands, and about plans for his first feature film.

Then we go to a church and listen to music from our good friend Stanley Samuelsen,

On this episode, we talk to filmmaker Gudmund Helmsdal about his short film, Brother Troll, which has been hoovering up awards at film festivals around the world for more than a year. We'll talk about his journey to becoming a filmmaker, which started in the Faroe Islands and took him to Denmark and Austrailia before returning him to his home.

Then we'll sit on a bench in Torshavn and think about change.

On this special episode of Home and Away, Stella talks to an Icelandic and a Faroese comedian about an upcoming (now in the past) comedy show in Torshavn, and the gowth of comedy in both the Faroe Islands and Iceland.

As always, if you'd like to hear the full episode with including the musical breaks, you can stream it from the FM1 website.

On this episode, we talk with the head of Visit Faroe Islands about the tourism industry in the Faroe Islands and how its holding up during the weird few years we've all lived through. We also talk about fun things to do when you're visiting in the winter.

We also talk about the (almost) announcement of a new Atlantic Airways flight to New York, and we (almost) stand in the snow in one of the most touristed spots in the Faroes. 

Note: The story about the Atlantic Airways story could change at any moment. If there are updates, we will post them in the show notes here, and we'll also do a special podcast when the official announcement comes out.

This week, Stella starts a new series of episodes where the talks to mixed couples about how they met, why they married, and why they chose to make their lives in the Faroe Islands. 

The first couple is Nelia and Jan Erik Niclasen. Jan Erik is from the Faroe Islands and Nelia is from the island of Saint Vincent in the Caribbean. They talk to Stella about how they met, why they decided to live in the Faroes, their time living in Denmark, and why they came back.
