  • I listen to mostly political podcasts.

    • The rest is politics - UK / US
    • The daily
    • The Ezra Klein show
    • Post report
    • Pod save America
    • Democracy Now
    • Today in Focus
    • The journal
    • NRPs Political podcast
    • The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

    Non political pods:

    • Pre-production with Chris Stuckman
    • Ted Talks daily

    Domestic podcasts - Norway:

    • Det Store Bildet
    • Aftenpodden / USA / Midtøsten (premium only for Aftenposten subscribers)
    • Poprådet (same as with Aftenpodden)
    • Dypdykk (very good podcast that go deep into the material of each story, again need subscription from Aftenposten)
    • Trygdekontoret - Podcast that focuses on many different issues.
    • Urix - Podcast about news from the world and politics
    • Ekko - Show about various topis. Sometimes they got experts and scientists to explain the different topics
    • Abels tårn - Show about science. It makes it more understandable for the layman.
    • Kommentert - Show about norwegian politics.










  • Saying that immigration is not part of the problem is laughable at this point. I’m also lefitist but jesus you can’t let that many in without at least trying to integrate them.

    Also I can’t belive I’m defending the current government but they are not at fault for what’s going on. These issues have been a thing for years. One of the main reason for this is that discussing immigration policies have been mostly taboo. I’m very happy for living in Norway. We’ve been having these discussions for years and we have been open to strict immigration policies. You just can’t let whoever into your country.



  • You make it sound like a easy task… They are getting killed and put in prison. Iran’s regime had build very effective fortifications for these types of protests and unrest. They know how to crack down on it, they do it by being as brutal as possible. The sad truth is that if not big portions of the population stands against the regime nothing will change. And unfortunately it’s not enough what has happened to date.

    The biggest issue with the regime falling is that we will see a new Libya. I don’t think it will become better if the regime is removed unfortunately.


  • I joined after the shitstorm that Reddit made the community go trough. It’s a worse website now because of the changes to the API where they now take money for using it. They now have to charge the user for using their apps. Basically making it easy for me to stop using reddit entirely.

    Tip for you guys that still want to use an app but don’t know about it: geddit is a free app that scrape RSS to let you browse reddit. I’ve used it more and more to get used to it. It’s pretty good but since it doesn’t use rhe API you can’t comment or bookmark stuff. You can however watch NSFW stuff but it doesn’t work that well compared to how Relay for instance did it back when apps where allowed to show NSFW content…
