The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: 
✨ On Wednesday RÚV continued its report regarding covert surveillance by former police officers for Iceland’s richest man, Björgólfur Thor Björgólfsson. The same two police officers also stole surveillance data from the Special Prosecutors office in 2012. We discuss that.
✨ The police found two snakes in someone's home. The snakes were disposed of.
✨ We discuss The Reykjavík Grapevine's recent feature on Eurovision and the debate surrounding Iceland's participation in it this year and last.
✨ A new filibuster record was set in the halls of Iceland's parliament, Althingi, last Friday when the opposition opposed a new proposed law that would increase the revenue the Icelandic state receives from its fisheries.
