A Woman on the Ice by Rikke Houd for Third Ear (subtitled by Radio Atlas) *Video Podcast*

About this episode

Note: this week's episode is a video podcast because it is a celebration of audio subtitles.  You'll need to experience it on a platform that supports video files. This week we're sharing a choice work from our new collection celebrating ten years of Radio Atlas, an English-language home for subtitled audio from around the world. A place to hear inventive documentaries, dramas and works of sound art that have been made in languages you don’t necessarily speak.  Radio Atlas has subtitled stories from over 30 countries, and has been an instrumental part of audio festivals and awards since its inception (and it's won several awards itself).   We're sharing one feature from the collection today: The Woman on the Ice produced by Rikke Houd for Third Ear in 2014.  A young woman walks out onto the ice in Greenland, under a full moon, and disappears.  It's haunting, super compelling and will reshape your expectations for documentary.    ********* Original Series Credits from Radio Atlas:  Produced by Rikke Houd for Third Ear (11th March 2014) “In 1932 a young, Danish woman went as the first Danish nurse to the sparsely populated Greenlandic east coast.
