Episode 233 - SUNDLAUGASÖGUR - ICELAND'S SWIMMING CULTURE

Taking a dip in one of Iceland's many geothermal swimming pools isn't just, at this time of year, a way to shake off too much festive partying. It's also a celebration of a uniquely Icelandic culture.

As it might soon find itself on UNESCO's list of Living Traditions, Darren talks to film producer and director Jón Karl Helgason, about his 2022 documentary film Sundlaugasögur - Swimming Pool Stories.
