In this and the following episode, we hear an interview recorded for my documentary - That Damned Cow - Just what is Norwegian Slow TV? You can watch the documentary from my facebook page right here.

This interview is with Thomas Hellum and Rune Møklebust, two of the creators and producers of Slow TV from NRK Hordaland in Bergen, Norway.

We are in one of the social areas on board a moored Hurtigruten ferry several hours before it departs on its journey up north to Kirkenes; as the interview progresses more people come onboard and there is background noise from them, and a bar in the background. It was recorded in August 2014.

I'm on most key social media, be sure to check out The Slow TV Blog.

You can hear the rest of this interview in part two here, which is released a week from now. Be sure to subscribe to this podcast to keep up to date with future episodes, covering the three key aspects of Slow TV - the fans: all the kind of discussion of the enjoyment of Slow TV. The thinkers: what makes Slow TV different? How do people react and treat Slow TV? And lots of questions, answers and explorations. And of course, the filmmakers - how Slow TV is made by the likes of NRK, and by organisations and commercial productions, and by those without the bugdet, staff and tech of a large professional media organisation.
