This is the 3rd and final part of my interview with Jón Gnarr, Iceland’s funniest and most famous Mayor. If you haven’t listened to part 1 and part 2 of this interview, I recommend that you do because Jón dives deep into why he ran for political office, Taosim, his experience as the Mayor and other fascinating things about his life.
During this episode, Jón shares his feelings about the current political landscape in Iceland, why he feels it is important to teach people about empathy, what he has been up to since running for office and his favorite Icelandic word or phrase. We also dipped into talking about education, creativity, religion, philosophy and empathy. In part 2, I taught you how to say the Mayor of Reykjavík, which is Borgarstjóri Reykjavíkur. This time around, Jón will share a pretty funny Icelandic word before the end of the episode.
