Published: Dec. 7, 2019, 6:17 p.m.

b'This is the third and final part of my interview with Iceland\'s youngest President of City Council, D\\xf3ra Bj\\xf6rt Gu\\xf0j\\xf3nsd\\xf3ttir. If you haven\\u2019t listened to part 1 and part 2 yet, I highly recommend that you do. D\\xf3ra shines a spotlight on the political scandals, deep seated beliefs and opportunities for positive change in Iceland during those parts.
\\n
\\nDuring this episode, D\\xf3ra shares why she became a member of the pirate party, her views on information freedom, the responsibility of politicians to make positive change, the personal political initiatives that she would like to see implemented in Iceland and her favorite Icelandic phrase.
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nBefore the interview starts, I have to include a disclaimer. At the very end of this episode, D\\xf3ra uses curse words for her favorite Icelandic phrase. Cursing is not a normal part of this podcast but her phrase ties in perfectly with the reaction to the financial meltdown in Iceland, so it I feel it is appropriate to include it.
