SWEDEN IN FOCUS

LISTEN: Swedish language reform controversy, and who are all the Skarsgårds?

LISTEN: Swedish language reform controversy, and who are all the Skarsgårds?

In the latest episode of our Sweden in Focus podcast, host Paul O’Mahony is joined by panelists Becky Waterton and Richard Orange

In this week’s episode we discuss how the fallout from the recent banking sector turmoil might affect savers in Sweden. 

What’s going on with Nato? Are Hungary and Turkey are going to let Finland and Sweden in?

Is it time to dispense with ‘de’ and ‘dem’ in written Swedish and instead embrace ‘dom’? 

In a week when the Christian Democrats’ party secretary was fired after another senior figure in the party filed a police report against him, we look at how the scandal has played out so far and how the party has handled it. 

In the latest instalment of our ambassador series, we have an interview with Canada’s ambassador to Sweden, Jason LaTorre.

We also look at who’s who in the the Skarsgård acting dynasty before rounding off with tips for some of our own favourite Swedish films.

SWEDEN IN FOCUS

LISTEN: Price wars, nudity, and why has Sweden gone cold on climate change?

In this week's episode: football interview sparks racism row; should Sweden follow Denmark's lead on Brexit Brits?; Nato updates; food price war; how comfortable are Swedes with nudity?; and why Sweden's climate watchdog is deeply critical of government policy.

LISTEN: Price wars, nudity, and why has Sweden gone cold on climate change?

In the latest episode of our Sweden in Focus podcast, host Paul O’Mahony is joined by panelists James Savage, Becky Waterton and Richard Orange

This week we kick off with a few current talking points in Sweden: the weather’s still bitterly cold but at least the Easter break is coming up; why a post-match football interview sparked a racism row; and should Sweden follow Denmark’s lead on Brexit Brits?

As food prices hit record highs we look at why a price war has finally broken out in Sweden’s supermarkets. 

We discuss why Hungary is still keeping Sweden waiting on Nato as Finland forges ahead.

We talk about how comfortable Sweden is with nudity and whether attitudes have changed over time.

And finally we dig into a report this week from Sweden’s climate watchdog predicting that government policies will cause emissions to increase for the first time in two decades.
