I post new episodes every Monday and my plan is to keep doing so in the future. The episodes will probably remain 20 minutes long, but I am open to change the format or experiment with longer and shorter episodes. Please do feel free to contact me should you have any ideas or preferences. I do appreciate feedback.

Recently, I have been working on improving the audio quality of the episodes. At the moment, I am re-recording the old episodes so that the audio quality will be adequate so that it will be easier to understand and listen to. When I am posting this epsiode, I have updated episodes 23 to 34 as well as the first episode.

I also have some other plans for the future of the podcast. Ideally, I would like to update the website so that it looks nicer and has more resources available to you. For example, I was thinking about underlining hard words and structures in the transcripts and provide translations for them in the text. One way of doing this would make it so that the translation is available when hovering over the underlined section. I would also like to add some more resources on the website such as my own grammar and syntax sections and an overview of other materials available to learn Norwegian.

Moreover, I would really like to expand this project and make a YouTube channel as well. The focus of the YouTube channel would be primarily on Norwegian grammar and syntax, and I think I would like to do it in English. This could be a useful resource to utilize with the podcast. While the podcast provides a lot of authentic Norwegian, the Youtube channel could be a place where I make short, succinct videos on how the Norwegian language works. I would like to provide materials for beginners, intermediates and more advanced learners too. If you have any suggestions, I would really like to hear them. I know that Norwegian is not the biggest language, and neither is it the language with the most resources. So it would be really useful if you could give me some feedback as to what you would like and what would make it easier to learn Norwegian.

Finally, I want to announce that I have made a Patreon site where you can support the podcast if you would like to do so. This project takes a lot of my time and I would like to keep improving it. For example by buying a new microphone and by moving the podcast to a more secure hosting service. So if you have the ability to do so, I would like to ask you to consider making a donation to the podcast. I would really appreciate it. I just want to stress that the podcast will, of course, remain free, and so will the transcripts. The patreon site is meant as a way of making it possible to support the podcast, but the podcast itself will remain free for everyone, forever. However, I would like to provide some bonus material for patrons, but more information about this will come in the future. If you should like to support the podcast, please see the link in the description of this episode. Thank you.
