This week the All Points North podcast looks at the experiences of people who've moved to Finland from abroad — and stayed — because they fell in love with a Finn. We'll hear from marriage and family therapist Therese Sprinkel, who helps multicultural couples work through issues they face. The show also features vignettes from audience members who share their personal stories and insights about their lives.

Mark B. Odom produced and presented this episode of All Points North. The sound engineer was Matias Puumala.
