Spørretimen is a Norwegian podcast of personal conversations, in-depth explainers and short primers on the jobs, experiences and subjects you have always wanted to understand better.
Episodes
With Sturla Fagerli Larsen · Artist and songwriter
Sturla has been on X Factor, Idol, The Voice and Melodi Grand Prix, and had a record deal with Sony. A conversation about life as an artist and the business behind it – from television competitions to royalties and booking your own concerts.
How do you build habits that last? A walk through James Clear's Atomic Habits – the four laws, the 1 % rule, habit stacking, the two-minute rule and why you should never miss twice.
With Håvard Hasund · Paramedic
Håvard Hasund paddled 1,500 kilometres through northern Canada in 47 days. A conversation about the planning, the safety, the bear encounters and what actually happened out there.
Three formats
Around some guests the material is split in three: a longer conversation, an explainer that goes into the subject, and a short summary.
Personal, in-depth interviews
Longer, personal conversations about a guest’s background, education, working day, turning points and advice. It should feel like a real conversation – not a stiff job interview.
