Episode 787 - VENDIPUNKTAR: AÐFLUTTAR KVENRADDIR / TURNING POINTS: IMMIGRANT WOMEN’S VOICES & AUÐSKILIÐ

Today on RÚV English Radio, it's a double episode.

First, Edda is the place to be on Tuesday 4 March at 16:00, for Vendipunktar: Aðfluttar kvenraddir // Turning Points: Immigrant Women’s Voices (https://www.facebook.com/events/1410789764060920/) - the result of conversations with women who arrived in Iceland as asylum seekers and refugees. The performance part of the event weaves together these women's stories with those of a couple of remarkable immigrant women in the Icelandic sagas.

Darren spoke to Emily Lethbridge, Associate Research Professor at the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies, about this fascinating event.

Then, a new episode of Icelandic learning strand Auðskilið. Today we look at a ban on energy drinks for under 18s - follow along with the text here - https://www.ruv.is/audskilid/2026-02-16-flestir-vilja-banna-bornum-ad-kaupa-orkudrykki-467141
