I'm joined today by Ragga Eiríksdóttir. She’s an expert on and designer of an object that typifies Iceland the world over: the lopapeysa jumper. We’ll talk about Eurovision, knitting, sheep, meditative states, the Icelandic costumes in Fire Saga, whether the Busker should feel better in their sweaters, bangers, and Iceland in Eurovision. We’ll also chat about some iconic submissions from 2012, 2016, and 2020, including Loreen, Jamala and Dadi Freyr. I always encourage you to go to the showpage at eurovisionsongcontext.fireside.fm and watch the submissions and look at the jumpers before we talk about them.
