You're about to listen to a BBC podcast and I'd like to tell you a bit about the

podcast I work on. I'm Dan Clark and I commissioned factual podcasts at the BBC.

It's a massive area but I'd sum it up as stories to help us make sense of the forces shaping the world.

What podcasting does is give us the space and the time to take brilliant BBC journalism

and tell amazing compelling stories that really get behind the headlines.

And what I get really excited about is when we find a way of drawing you into a subject

you might not even have thought you were interested in.

Whether it's investigations, science, tech, politics, culture, true crime, the environment,

you can always discover more with a podcast on BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts.

Hello, you've downloaded a podcast of BBC Radio Falls, the food program.

I'm Dan Saladino.

Welcome to our world.

From cooking to culture politics to pleasure we hope you enjoy

this addition Welcome to a landscape fractured by granite peaks, some a kilometer high,

and a land lashed by the tempestuous waves of the surrounding North Atlantic.

Some say this place can feel like the edge of the world.

It's very fairy tale land, very mountainous, these kind of granite mountains that come piling up out of the sea,

which go bright emerald in the summer or then kind of white in the winter.

It's dramatic, it's a hard land, but that's so beautiful.

And you can just see, you know, why the gods were so fierce up here,

you can see that the trolls might be waking up and walking down from the mountains.
