The Earful Sweden Oliver Gee

If you're ever thinking to come to Sweden, you should be prepared for these unusual traditions.
With the help of my wife Lina, we go through some of the odder traditions that are a real thing here in Sweden. 
If you're enjoying this show, tell your friends about it :)
 

Do Swedes love music? (Yes)
Are they obsessed with Eurovision? (Yes)
And what is Melodifestivalen? (We'll get to that).
Today's guest is Christer Björkman, the king of bringing Sweden success in the Eurovision Song Contest. In fact, he even represented Sweden as the main act in 1992.
Enjoy our chat and be sure to spread the word if you enjoy it!

Here's a chat with the Australian Ambassador to Sweden, Bernard Philip. 
We cover everything from Saint Lucia to Daniel Solander, a Swede who was the first university-educated scientist to set foot in Australia (find more about him and the society named after him here: https://www.danielsolander.se/english.htm).

The Vasa Museum has one million visitors a year and it's not surprising. It's magnificent. 
If you've not heard of it before, the Vasa Museum is home to the very well preserved remains of a Swedish warship that sank almost 400 years ago.
You can find more info on the official website here: https://www.vasamuseet.se/en
Today's guest was Maria Dalhed Persson who has worked at the museum for 28 years across many different roles.

It seems to me like English has taken over Stockholm.  You can't escape it. Shops, cafes, and English words that are creeping into the local lingo. What's going on?
I met with James Savage, the CEO and founder of The Local Europe, to chat more about the topic. 
We met at a cafe/bakery called Stinas Bageri, in Vasastan, to get to the bottom of it.

Could Swedish people really be obsessed with America?
There certainly are a lot of NY Yankee hats, Bruce Springsteen music, and nostalgia cars.
I put the question to Beth Dacey, an American a cultural consultant and writer based in Stockholm.
