#8 Flora, Fauna and Resting in Norway

This episode takes you back in time to the end of summer 2022 to
our Team North in Norway, where we spent quite a long time. While
the recording took already place in September 2022, the editing
was finished at the end of 2023. So we travel a bit back in time
and listen to the voices our Wanderers collected in the North.
The voices tell us about appearing and disappearing species,
tourism, energy sources and who has a responsibility for act.
Tune in to hear why they are concerned about the cloudberries,
the discussions of how the Norwegian welfare state is financed
and how our Wanderers are longing for their break days.
