Lydia and Jonas  are fellow U.S. expats in Iceland that host their own podcast called “The Raisin at the Hot Dog’s End”. Lydia is a writer and artist, and Jonas is a writer and translator. As you listen to the chat we had in my living room, you’ll get to hear the stories of how each of them ended up in Iceland. While we did talk about a variety of topics, I feel like the exchange we had about racism within the Icelandic society, which is more covert, is important and insightful.

It is amazing to me how much is bubbling to the surface here and all around the world after the murder of George Floyd. I plan to share my personal experience and thoughts about what is happening here in the next episode, but what Lydia and Jonas share shines a light on issues that deserve more attention in this country.
