The first ever podcast from Hja! – an online magazine about arts, culture and outside perspective in Oslo, Norway.

In this episode, Tom Lenartowicz and Richard Ashton sit down with the Swedish-Argentine acoustic musician, José González. They chat about his up-bringing, what he thinks of Swedish crowds, why he plays covers, and lots more.

The recording was made on an iPhone, so please forgive us for the background noise. We'll improve on the sound quality as we continue with the podcast, but we hope you enjoy it!

Hja! podcast no. 1 — Interview: José González

Hja! presents the Phil & Tom Podcast number 2, after the first one they never released. Here they chat together at Jaeger in Oslo about how long it would take to watch all the episodes of Neighbours, how shit The Matrix is, and going to the cinema with your parents. The background noise is just as much of the show, if you want it to be.

The Phil & Tom Podcast No. 2 presented by Hja!

Hja! is an exploration of foreign culture and perspective in Oslo, Norway. Through interviews, editorials, art and photography, émigrés and Norwegians share their stories and views of a progressively diverse city. We aim to be impartial while allowing for vivacious and subjective opinion. Although our focus is Oslo, Hja! appeals to anyone interested in creativity, culture, travel and community. 

Oslo outside in.
