Welcome to This Way Up

Welcome to This Way Up, the new Arctic Council podcast. In this introductory episode, hosts Jessica Cook and Rosa-Máren Magga set the stage for the season ahead. They share their own Arctic journeys, put Arctic Council representatives to the test with elevator-pitch challenges and answer questions from curious students about everything from Indigenous participation to navigating political tensions. With a mix of storytelling and behind-the-scenes insights, this episode introduces listeners to the people, priorities and spirit of cooperation that define the Arctic Council, and what you can expect in future episodes of This Way Up.
