Untitled edit
This article very nearly copies the biography at http://marketplace.publicradio.org/about/cast_crew/ryssdal.html .
There have been edits in the past to avoid copyvio, but I think the article still plagarizes.Kpwa gok 17:26, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Needs an Early Life Section edit
Where did he grow up? What were his parents occupations?
The combination some of his adult life details (foreign service, plus military) suggest (possibly) that he grew up in a military family. Is this so?
If not, where and in what circumstances, did he grow up?

Looks like he was not a military brat, unless I am missing some details. Rather he is the son of at least one immigrant, hence (perhaps) his international interests.

needs references edit
I added a tag to note that the article needs references. As the above comment notes, this may be a CV article anyway. Esrever 18:22, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Surname edit
What ethnicity is his surname? Badagnani 22:41, 5 October 2007 (UTC) His first name is either German or Scandinavian.

I think he has a Dutch father. The first name "Kai" is Scandinavian/might be German too since Germans and some Scandinavians are related.
