Ukulele Road Trips has been North ! And having gone North, join host for the day Marine and revisit the destinations, songs and encounters of the frosty adventure!

From Canada’s oldest grandest organ with David Briggs in Toronto, to a hot steamy outdoor bath in Northern Iceland and its cool staff, the pod’s multiple stops reassess the Winter ukulele escapade. Including an appearance from occasional camerawoman of the adventure Catharina and listerner(s)’s questions. So wrap up warmly as we also wrap up the Going North ukulele road trip !

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...

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.

Bienvenue à Rimouski!

The fine and low-temperature-resistant Rimouski Podcast Team !

Come have a seat inside, it's warm, have a tea, and travel with us, through time and seasons, as the snow falls outside, and throughout the whole 'Bas-Saint-Laurent' region.

Bienvenue à Québec, au Québec !

Welcome to Québec City, in the Region of Québec ! Yes, it's slightly confusing, but we do address it, in the company of authentic Québecois and ukulele player, André!

The old city walls and stairs, modern day Québec and a little trip all the way up North to the Inuit villages, all these, and much more, including a couple of typical chansons by André, in this, the first Podcast of the #GoingNorth Adventure!

Such Paint skillz. Much wow.

Ben's Ukulele Road Trips are jumping back on track, with much songs and adventure to come super soon! Such wow! 

Join Marine in asking about this upcoming Road Trip through both Canada and Iceland in this tiny little Teaser of a Podcast, the special bonus surprise of which, is a ukulele song by Marine !

Hop on on the metaphorical Viking boat of Northern adventures and sail across the frost and fog to lands of song and culture.

Or in other words: join me as I'm "Going North" !

Lviv, Lvov, Lwów, Lemberg, Leopolis !

It has many names, and even more stories to tell. Join L(v)ovely local guests Tereza, Nata and Ostap for a l(v)ively exploration of the romantic cobble-stoned streets of the Lion City.

Romantic legends, secret tunnels leading to many joys, the jewish heritage and how-to-haggle tips, as well an unfortunate town-trumpeters, are all packed with L(v)ove, in this, the Ukulele Road Trips Lviv Podcast.

A hymn, a ballad, a ukulele hot-cop-love-song as we conversationally stroll around this great city with delightful locals Ivanka and Ekaterina, all these things, in this, the Kiev Podcast.

From the Maidan Square in the heart of the city to the Legend of the birth of Kiev, from Tchernobyl to a Funiculaire, a big serving of interesting chat and songs that more than make up for the odd sound quality of this one.

The singing traveling podcast is back! And is joined in Chisinau (it's the capital of Moldova would you know) by locals Max and Serghei. We meet Moldova, then get a bit closer, and then even a bit more closer, until we arrive in Transnistria. The Romanian and Russian influences and heritage are discussed, along with the soothing Moldovan wine, and bit of space travel too!

Pictured above, a couple of snaps from Chisinau, a concert during the "Limba-day", late night protesting, cooking placinte in the countryside, Cricova cellar, and a view from Orheiul Vechi.

Watch the trailer for Max's upcoming movie, 100 Risings, here.

Welcome to Cluj! Or Cluj-Napoca to be precise.

You may not have a clue(j) yet about this great city, but with the help of guests Ana-Maria, Natalia and Anna, you will light-heartedly stroll around Cluj and the area, under the sweet summer sun. If you're lucky, Anna might just grace the podcast with a couple of beautiful songs in Hungarian. Only after a Romanian language lesson, songs about beer and salt, and this instructive conversation!
