Host
Last Week in Denmark
Curious about what’s really happening in Denmark — and how it affects the life of internationals living here? Each week, two hosts from the LWID community talk through the top news stories and developments — in English — sharing personal insights and international perspectives. It’s a clear and accessible conversation about life in Denmark, made for people who live here but didn’t grow up here. Last Week In Denmark is a volunteer-driven media project with a simple mission: to empower people through information.
With a mix of short summaries, thoughtful discussion, and context you can actually use, we cover everything from housing and healthcare to politics. Whether you're new to Denmark or have been here for years, this is your go-to bite-sized update on what’s happening — and why it matters to you. Thank you for helping us grow.

Golda Fania
Golda, a Sierra Leonean-Dane, has been munching on rugbrød and leverpostej since 1994. A brief stint abroad left her longing for chokolade pålæg and remoulade—delicacies American supermarkets didnt have. Now, she’s on a mission to share Danish news with the world—because why should rugbrød get all the glory?
