Episode 19 - THE WEEK IN ICELAND: ANDIE SOPHIA FONTAINE

Today sees a new episode of The Week In Iceland from The RÚV English Podcast service.

Darren's guest today is journalist Andie Sophia Fontaine. Andie is a familiar and much-loved face to those with an interest in Iceland, and has been reporting in and on the country for two decades.

Under the spotlight today: the ongoing Efling/SA dispute and imminent "work ban", or lockout, the fire at the Arctic Fish buildings in Tálknafjörður, high prices and taxes on food and fuel in Iceland, the announcement of the first acts for this year's Iceland Airwaves, and - staying with music - the second Söngvakeppnin semi-final.

All five remaining finalists can be heard here - https://www.ruv.is/songvakeppnin - and today's episode plays out with the three songs revealed on Saturday to have progressed to the final.
