Ep. 9: Vote for Cats!

Welcome back to The Icelandic Roundup! On this week's episode, Grapevine’s editor-in-chief Valur Grettisson and culture editor Josie Anne Gaitens are joined by investigative journalist  Bjartmar Oddur Þeyr Alexandersson from Stundin magazine. They discuss the upcoming municipal elections, the various parties running in Reykjavík (there are 11—don't forget the socialists), and the fact that there is a party of cats running in the north of Iceland.  Oh boy.
