"I enjoy the storytelling. Each person has a unique story that is unfolded through the interviews. Great job."
"Through personal stories and conversations, we get insights to what it is like to be a Danish creative expat in the US. And so much more..."
"I've listened to most of them and have learned a lot. It's funny how interconnected these folks are...so many of them are friends or family of friends. Danishness is a small world."
"The mix of Danish culture and broader themes is so well done. It feels both niche and completely universal."
"Every episode feels like a hidden gem. I didn’t expect to get this hooked, but I’m all in."
"Ever since my teenage son said 'BRUH, it's not a sugar cookie, Danish Originals is a podcast that's so hot, I have been binge listening to it!"
"Highly recommend!"
"Loving the Danish Originals Podcast series — such a fantastic concept! Great work, AFSMK, Christian D. Bruun & team!"
"Danish Originals has this quiet brilliance. It’s thoughtful, surprising, and beautifully put together."
"Great podcast about creatives from Denmark. Not just the art they create, but their stories behind it and their lives in general."
"This podcast has truly broadened my perspective on expats, even featuring interviews with individuals who, while having Danish ancestry and being born in the US, offer unique insights. Growing up around Danish Americans whose families immigrated to the US long before they were born, I never really considered the experiences of more recent immigrants...." (continued)
(continued) "... It's fascinating to think about the modern-day careers, arts, hobbies that draw people to the US, and the reasons why they choose to stay here rather than return to Denmark. Additionally — each episode's focus on the arts has brought me, in the US, to learn more about SMK in Denmark and AFSMK in the US. It's more than a well done series and I look to it continuing!"
"A very smart idea for a museum to do this. I very much like the whole concept. The range of guests is really super. My favorites are Maria Sten and Sharin Foo. Also love Asger Hussain and Soulshock! Feel I'm learning a lot. Keep this coming! Recommend!
"Love this podcast! There's nothing like this out there."
"It’s rare to find something that feels this fresh and still so grounded. I genuinely look forward to new episodes."
"Being married to a Dane in the US, I can guarantee a fun, entertaining time, learning everything about the Danes! A must listen! 5 stars and beyond!"
"Extremely interesting podcast! Would love to see an episode on Danish designers too!"
"Very interesting!"
“Tina Jøhnk Christensen is very impressive. She makes the interviews slide forward smoothly, and her questions are really good. She is the star of every episode. Highly recommend.”
“Loving the new podcast! The host Tina Jøhnk Christensen has done her homework. As an American who's been to Denmark a lot over the years, it gives me even better insight into the Danish mindset and challenges in America, culturally and professionally and how they keep coming back for more!”
“LOVE the first 4 episodes, they’re so great and interesting, amazing flow!”
"Congratulations on the premiere of this inspiring project. I have enjoyed listening. It gave me inspiration and insights into leadership, being creative in the business world and business-minded in a creative world, being brave and Danish in America. And I have enjoyed looking up the art at SMK."
"There’s a quiet confidence in Danish Originals. It doesn’t try too hard, and that’s part of what makes it so good."
"This show has made me rethink how stories can be told. It’s smart without being pretentious—just really well made."
