Episode 10: When you queue for free buckets and they run out

Finns stand in line for free buckets for reasons that remain largely mysterious. Joel Willans, creator of Very Finnish Problems, discusses this phenomenon with Jyrki Kallinen, co-founder of Crowst. Crowst is a crowdsourced market research service designed to extract information from the naturally reserved Finnish population.

The conversation covers the technicalities of obtaining reliable questionnaire data from shy people. Co-host Thomas Nybergh considers the intersection of artificial intelligence and social media rants. The episode concludes with a mandatory recommendation for Finnish metal music.
