Week 50 - "The Blackfaced Ghost of Christmas Past"
<p>NB: After the interview, the interviewee noted that the term “internalised racism” was accidentally used. Instead, of the correct term is “embedded racism”.</p> <p>Is blackfaced makeup racist? Uhm, yes?! So, why does the Danish media insist on debating whether it is?</p> <p>Danish Christmas nostalgia has taken a hit. A 1997 Christmas special scheduled to be aired on TV2 was canceled due to one scene in particular, in which Danish children are seen portraying cream puffs (flødeboller), wearing blackface makeup and white gloves. Another Christmas remake is also receiving scrutiny over its portrayal of Greenlandic children. Are these examples of “hygge racism”, or is there more to it?</p> <p>All signs point to the same issue: Although derogatory and racially motivated stereotypes remain deeply embedded in the language, literature and cultural mindset of Denmark, they are often assigned nostalgic value, thus becoming an inherent part of Danish humor and “being Danish”. With the act of decolonisation encouraging nations globally to rewrite the history books, why aren’t Denmark keeping up with the times?</p> <p>In this episode, we talk to teacher Eja Klai, who holds a Masters in Educational Sociology, on the dissonance between Danish nostalgia and decolonisation in the 21st-century. We dive into the colonial past of the Danish Empire, go behind racial stereotypes and get really uncomfortable when we challenge our shared perceptions.</p>

Week 48 - "From Qatar Without One Love.."
<p>Denmark ranks top in the world for dental health. So, how come Danes have no issue making a bark, but very rarely take a bite?</p> <p>In this episode, we sit down to discuss the decision by the Danish National Football Association (DBU) to not allow players to wear the One Love armband during matches at the World Cup in Qatar. At the most politically charged sporting event this year, who will lose out: Danish values or Danish fear of conflict?</p> <p>And from Qatar to cavities, French dentist Louis-Marie Richard joins us to talk about the quality and price of dental care in Denmark. As lack of affordable dental care is leaving wide gaps in both teeth and in society untreated, we ask what can be done to make Danish dental crowns available to all.</p>

Week 44- "Sausage Party"
<p>This week’s episode was recorded on the day of the General Election. The climate crisis is at the top of voters’ list of concerns, yet, covert xenophobia is driving the political discussion. We reflect on the past weeks’ mayhem and meet up with a first-time International voter to hear what the election signifies for her. But first, an expensive sausage party needs our attention, as it turns out that 56.000 of tax payer’s money was used to serve hot dogs served at the opening of a new police station. And why is it called a pølsehorn and not “en varm hund”?</p>
