In this episode, Valur and Andie Sophia talk about a murder in the north of Iceland--the third this year--not boding well for the rest of 2022.
Also, we have more information on the terrorism case, wherein the father of the chief of the national police had his home searched. This man is a major gun collector and seller in Iceland. As such, the national police have recused themselves from the case.
Finally, we talk about the recent fare hike for the capital area buses, electric cars, and the future of transport in Reykjavík.

Culture Editor Josie Anne Gaitens and News Editor Andie Sophia Fontaine are here to delve into SPORTS. A topic that we are incredibly knowledgable of and can talk about at length. Other topics covered in this episode include trans rights, whether Reykjavík is a green city, an inflation dog fight, and—somewhat surprisingly—sheep.
Josie Anne and Andie Sophia would like to extend their apologies to All Sheep.

Valur Grettisson (editor-in-chief) and Josie Anne Gaitens (culture editor) are joined on this week's podcast by Lenya Rún Taha Karim, deputy MP for The Pirate Party, who was briefly voted in as the youngest Member of Parliament last September, before election recounts meant she lost her seat. Lenya Rún discusses her experience of being part of the Icelandic political system, including the racism directed towards her as an Icelandic Kurd.
