Join us as we travel to Oslo, Norway to talk to a barnehage (literally: kindergarden) teacher named Torhild to learn how Norwegian kids have it differently and the same as us in the USA. We also examine Norwegian folk costumes, or bunads...and what it takes to get one. We meet Hanne at Heimen Husfliden in Oslo as she tells us about her job selling bunads.
We finish the show with some foot-stomping fiddle and guitar tunes by Ruthie Dornfeld and Alfred Morten Høirup. Check out Darryl Jackson's music too at darryljacksonmusic.com.

Children have a right to attend a barnehage (kindergarden) in Norway from 1-5 years old. But as Torhild mentioned in the podcast, there's not enough capacity to assure that right can be exercised. Here's a look at that situation in kindergardens in Tromsø, Norway.
Heimen Husfliden of Oslo, where Hanna Westlie works, is unusual in that it sells many bunads from around Norway. Generally, it is the prerogative of Husfliden shops within the specific counties (fylke) of Norway to sell their local folk costumes. What is considered a county's specific bunad has undergone some adjustment with the redistricting in 2020. Below are photos of young women in bunads from different localities, some of which changed in the redistricting map.
