Slow TV - Thomas Hellum (and Barack Obama) talk about a train and a cow...
Season 2 of the Nordic Future Makers podcast kicks off by talking to Thomas Hellum from Norway's NRK TV channel - with a little help from Barack Obama. This is the story of Slow TV. The story of how a Norwegian TV broadcaster ended up creating some of the longest and most watched shows in Norwegian TV history. This has started a trend of Slow TV across the world and Thomas tells us how the idea for Slow TV came about and how it has developed - a nice 'slow' start to the second series as we finish our summer vacations and head back to work again. I am fascinated by SlowTV and I hope you enjoy our conversation, plus look out for some bonus podcast content from this conversation in the next few days too!

Artificial Intelligence (AI) deep dive - Series 1 - highlights
I spoke to many different people in Series 1 of the Nordic Future Makers podcast. I spoke with people from marketing, media, music and more, heard some great stories and learnt a lot from the experiences of my guests. Artificial Intelligence (AI) came up in a number of these conversations and I thought it would be interesting to pull a collection of clips together into a kind of end of series 'AI Special.' So in this episode of the Nordic Future Makers podcast you will hear excerpts from the previous podcast conversations I had with Bo Hellberg, Daniel Käfer, Jenny Gejke and Lasse Meldgaard. It starts off with Bo explaining what AI is, before going into some more detailed discussion around how AI and Machine Learning can be used. Series 2 of the Nordic Future Makers podcast will be coming soon with more guests from media, marketing, tech, start ups, brands and culture across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland. I hope you enjoy this Series 1 summary episode and please subscribe to get the new episodes as they go live!

Darude is my guest this week on the Nordic Future Makers podcast! Darude is a Finnish DJ, producer and EDM artist and in this podcast we talk about his big hit 'Sandstorm' and how it keeps coming back - most recently as a weekly ritual to help Finland through the corona virus lockdown.
