Portrettpodden

Among the guests featured on Portrettpodden, you'll find names ranging from the international Stephen Fry, to the national Karoline Krüger, and even the local Aggie Frost.

During the Nordlysfestivalen, we're thrilled to present Portrettpodden LIVE, where Portrettpodden host Zara Louise Jangås sits down with our two festival profiles, Marius Neset and Mimmi Tamba.

It will be a conversation about art, life, the concerts they're performing at the festival – and whatever else might come to mind in the moment.

In Portrettpodden, Zara L. Jangås – journalist, performing artist, and trans woman – engages in deep conversations with inspiring people, aiming for broadened horizons and a greater understanding of the world we live in. Through Artist Encounters she delves into the driving forces behind an artist’s creative work and explores the experiences and tools that have brought them to where they are today.

Zara was one of the first Norwegian journalists to secure an interview with British actor Stephen Fry.

Welcome to Portrettpodden LIVE

Did you know that Zara interviewed Mimmi Tamba for Portrettpodden all the way back in 2021?

A lot has happened since then for both Zara and Mimmi – but if you're a true curious soul, it's the perfect warm-up for the festival and Portrettpodden LIVE!
Note: The episode is in Norwegian, but in her repertoar she has some interviews done in english.
