Cries in Norwegian: A SKAM Podcast

Ciao amici!  We discuss Martino's season, and one of our favorite adaptations so far! Italian boy squad wins the boy squad crown. Martino's mom totally made us cry. Nico might be Liska's favorite Even. Gio is still king of our hearts, and Chicco Rodi plays a bigger role in Martino and Niccolo's love story than he'll ever know. There's a lot to talk about and it’s a looong one. Hopefully it all mak...

It’s the final episode of Noora’s season! There’s a lot to wrap up, but it also feels like nothing happens? Anyway, Noorhelm is finally together and on solid ground. But William has to face the consequences for his actions. Also, there’s a party! Episode discussed: 2x12 "Will you move in with me?"   Follow us on twitter at:  @criesnorwegian  Or e-mail us at  criesinnorwegian@gmail.com   Tumblr: cr...

Mari, who is most definitely not a bitch, fills in Noora on what did and did not happen at the party. She also finally provides us with the details of William's gothic worthy tragic backstory. When William tries to run away to London, Noora fights for their relationship, but she also calls him an asshole while she does it, so she's still our girl.    Episodes discussed: 2x11 "Do you seriously reme...

William continues his streak of being very sweet and supportive, just ignore the part where he does Noora’s homework for her. One of us is very upset about that — guess who?! Girl squad comes together in the most spectacular of ways, Russ week ends, Constitution Day is celebrated at the hospital, and Human Garbage finally gets taken to the dump, so of course he tries to take Noora down with him. I...

Noora is depressed, shut down, anxious, and snapping at everyone as she waits for answers. It’s basically devastating to watch. On the plus side, William’s probably at his best. Also, we rant a lot about Human Garbage (Nico). It’s a short episode, but an emotionally wrecking one. Episode discussed: 2x09 "I miss you so damn much"  Follow us on twitter at:  @criesnorwegian  Or e-mail us at  criesinn...

This episode has some our favorite conversations this season. After the whole smashing a bottle on someone's head thing, Noora asks Williams for some space to figure out her feelings.  Noora then immediately starts telling everyone but William that she's in love with him. More or less. At least she finally comes clean to Vilde!  Also, Nikolai is the WORST and we HATE HIM.  Episodes discussed: 2x08...

Prosciutto and skinny jeans galore! We dissect yet another version of Eva’s story, discover our favorite William, and fawn over Gio like lovestruck schoolgirls. Ciaaaoooooo.    Episodes discussed: SKAM Italia season 1. (Season 2 discussion coming soon!)    Here's a link to the Elite review we mention:  https://www.purefandom.com/2018/11/08/elite-netflix-teen-drama-obsession/   Follow us on twitter...

We haven't had a long episode in while...so so here's one for y'all.  He’s Creepy, he’s kookie… he’s positively spooky… he’s William! We discuss episode 6 and 7 of season 2 where William promises not to be a dick, then proceeds to break the promise again and again… and yet, maybe we can kind of see where he’s coming from? Kind of, sort of? We also got carried away talking about William’s Rus pants...

The Penetrators are holding a fundraiser and it's all everyone can talk about, except Noora who can't stop talking about helping refugees.  Join us as we discuss season 2, episode 5, "I'm certainly not jealous". It's a big Noorhelm episode, where Noora has to finally make a decision as to how she feels about William. We're still not sure how we feel about him, but we sorta get why Noora can't help...

Our trip around the Skam-verse continues as we delve into season one of SKAM NL, the Dutch adaptation of SKAM.  There's a lot to love in this adaptation, which really captures the spirit of the original while still doing it's own thing.  Highlights include: -How Isa's grumpiness is relatable AF.  -We absolutely love the diversity! (More please!) -Liska's found her least favorite William in Noah. ...

It's the holiday season! Join us for a girl squad hang where they find themselves trapped in a cabin with their secrets and a Ouija board.   Episode discussed: Season 2, Episode 4:  "I knew there was something strange about her (Easter Special)"   Follow us on twitter at:  @criesnorwegian  Or e-mail us at  criesinnorwegian@gmail.com   Tumblr: criesinnorwegianpodcast.tumblr.com                    ...

Hola, consider this episode our application to adopt Lucas so we can protect him forever.  We finished season one of Skam España and obviously had thoughts on the season as a whole, so here's part 2 of our Skam España discussion. We liked it!...with reservations. Give it a listen and let us know what you think!    Follow us on twitter at:  @criesnorwegian  Or e-mail us at  criesinnorwegian@gmail.c...

We discuss season 2, episode 3 "Are you hiding something from us?"  Guys, guess what? WE DON'T HATE NOORHELM THIS EPISODE.  One of us *cough*Gaby*cough* even texted the words: "If I was Noorhelm trash this would be why." IS THIS THE UPSIDE DOWN?  Don't miss as we discuss: -How Vilde knows something is up with Noora.  -Eva is still the best.  -Noora sings!  -William smiles and of course, how BED SH...

IT'S SEASON 2 OF OG SKAM!  Which means we get to talk about our badass feminist main, Noora Amalie Sætre.  We admit we were not super excited about season 2, then we re-watched the first two episodes of season 2 and we kind of loved them. So yay! Join us as we discuss:  -Noora's feminism.  -William's manipulations and how they make us feel (not good).  -Noora's clear attraction to William and how...

Hello lovely listeners!  What was meant to be a short discussion on Skam España season 1 turned into its own episode!  So join us as we discuss Skam España (up until episode 9), a remake we both enjoyed a lot. We would totally be down for hanging out with both the Spanish girl squad and boy squad.  Also, Lucas might be a saint?  PS Our Noora episode is recorded and will be out soon!!  Follow us on...

IT'S THE END OF SEASON 1 AND WE HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS.  Join us as we... -Say our good-byes to Eva, Queen of Our Hearts. -Gush some more about the Girl Squad. -Go on some LONG TANGENTS ABOUT BAD BOYS as we try to puzzle out William and what his deal is.  -Are super sad about Jonas and Eva.  -Appreciate Noora's maturity despite the fact that apparently she can't be trusted not to snoop on your pho...

Hello Skamily, we interrupt our regular schedule and bring you a SKAM AUSTIN EXTRAVANGANZA!  Join us and our very special, iconic guest, Gaby's cousin Kari as we devote an entire episode to SKAM Austin. Unlike us, our guest has only watched Skam Austin so we were excited to hear her thoughts. It was a fun conversation. :)      

Join us as we discuss episodes 9 and 10 of OG SKAM season 1, where Eva goes from looking sad and depressed to hella fine. More importantly, SHE CONFRONTS HER SHAME and begins to make peace with her choices. Isak's throne of lies comes tumbling down, Vilde is a hot mess, and William proves in just one scene how cool he can be.    We also chat about the upcoming season of Skam Italia and what succes...

Wherein we discuss: - Skam Italia vs og Skam in honor of Gaby's trip (and we try to offend as many Skam nationalities as possible on this show) - All the not-so-secret-secrets that are revealed - And all the ways in which Lisa Teiga's performance continues to blow us away   Then BUCKLE UP because we about to get real contraversial re: Noorhelm

LISKA HAS THE PODBEAN REINS SO HAHAHAHAHAH GABY This is a discussion of episode 7 of o.g. SKAM, where Eva is wracked with guilt, Vilda is in LaLaVildaland, Noora is a feminist icon, and Isak is in only one scene and STILL wins the title of our episode. Also we say a lot of stuff where we try not to offend Norwegians or Austinites (Austinonians?). Don't @ us. Just kidding, please @ us. 

It's the midpoint of season one of OG SKAM and there's lot of, as P Chris would say, "DRAAAMA". Jonas and Eva can't stop the passive aggresiveness. Vilde is a hurricane of emotions (mostly towards William). And yes, P Chris brings on the promised "DRAAAMA".  Join us as we discuss episodes 5 and 6 of season 1. We also briefly go into SKAM Austin and the complexities of adapatations. v

In the second episode of Cries in Norwegian, we briefly discuss the first couple of clips of SKAM Austin, the brand-new American adaptation of SKAM. Then we delve into episode 3 and 4 of OG SKAM where the girl squad finally comes together! AND WE MEET SANA. 

A TV podcast in which we discuss the Norwegian teen show and internet sensation, SKAM. Each episode takes a look at one or two installments of each season. Hosted by Gabriela Acevedo and Liska Ostojic.
