The podcast for everyone who loves the cool north

The Stoltenbergs


Jens Stoltenberg has been on our TV screens throughout the Ukraine crisis, ashen-faced and compelling, but never sabre-rattling. This week’s podcast looks at Norway’s history as a peace broker, and how the Stoltenberg family’s roles in public service has placed it at the centre of social change.
