Northern lights podcast with Bente is hosted by executive director Bente E. Engesland, together with producers and creators Eva Skotte Thoresen and Emma Nedregotten Glimstad.

This brand new podcast is here to inspire, enlighten and engage you. Our vision is to connect and involve audiences in open and honest conversations, across cultures and geographies. The world is on fire, with widespread and rapid geopolitical transformations. Many people feel rightfully anxious about the developments of AI, personal finances and their own physical and mental health amidst chaos. Clearly, there is a need to address the way we live in society and how democratic institutions and policies should be reinvented.

At the vibrant and international House21 in Oslo, we talk with remarkable business leaders, creative minds, young entrepreneurs and decision-makers across various fields and expertise, who all share their visions and first-hand experiences. We believe that honest and brave dialogues can have a direct impact and help us navigate both individually and collectively. Our goal is to provide perspective as well as awareness for how we can regain more control in our lives, how to bring more confidence, hope and new beginnings.
