Thomas Seltzer
Thomas Seltzer (b. 1969) is one of Norway’s most revered talk show hosts, musicians and, in recent years, documentarists. If you are unable to catch him on-stage performing as “Happy-Tom” in his band, Turbonegro, you can simply tune in to his acclaimed documentary series, “UXA”, which has become one of the most popular documentary series aired on the public Norwegian national television channel, NRK. Starting from his childhood hometown in the Rustbelt, he sets off on a search for the American Dream. He is currently working on a new season, which is set to air later this year.
Øivind Bratberg
Øivind Bratberg (b. 1980) teaches political science at the University of Oslo. He has a particular interest in Britain and has written several books and articles about current affairs and political history in the UK. He contributes regularly to various media outlets on British politics and, in recent years, on Britain’s process of exiting the European Union.
