Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of.
The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views.
In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks.
On the docket this week are:
✨ Melting asphalt on roads in west Iceland & infrastructure issues in general.
✨ Iceland's first ever Sex Club is opening soon in Reykjavík. Or is it?
✨ NATO has hit a fork in the road. J. D. Vance's speech in Munich confirms arising fears on the future of that organisation. Is the world order of the past 80 years at an end? And as with the rest of Europe, Iceland's security is now uncertain. Is the USA's promise to keep Iceland safe worth anything by now? Should we just invite Trump to join our new Sex Club?
