Every week, the foreign news desk here at RÚV produces a radio programme, and a podcast, about foreign affairs and world events.
The programme is called Heimskviður, and is broadcast on Rás 1 on Saturday afternoons.
Here on RÚV English Radio we strive to bring not just Iceland but RÚV to the world in English, and many of the interviews that are recorded for Heimskviður happen in English.
Occasionally here on RÚV English Radio you'll have the chance to hear some of those interviews, in full, in English.
Azam Ahmed is the author of Fear Is Just A Word - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fear-Just-Word-Azam-Ahmed/dp/0349726914/ - the true story of a young woman held hostage and then killed by a Mexican gang, and her mother's subsequent quest to avenge that act - leading, it seems, to her own death at the criminals' hands.
RÚV's Birta Björnsdóttir spoke to Azam about the book, on Heimskviður - https://www.ruv.is/utvarp/spila/heimskvidur/29234/8mpgel
