Want to get inspired? Get your faith back in humanity? In podcast number 10 you can hear short sketches of 10 Norwegians whose stories I find inspiring. They are a real mixed bunch – but are all trailblazers! There’s courage, vision and optimism on show here. The five women are Eva Joly (fighter against corruption), Harriet Backer (painter), Katti Anker Møller (activist for women’s rights), Anne-Sofie Østvedt (Resistance leader during the Second World War) and May-Britt Moser (neuroscientist, winner of Nobel Prize). And the five men are Isak Saba (Sámi activist), Jan Egeland (humanitarian official), Vilhelm Bjerknes (weather scientist), Jan Garbarek (musician) and Edvard Moser (neuroscientist, Nobel Prize winner). You can see portraits of each of them on my website (see below).
