Restid is the Swedish word for ‘travel time’.  These podcasts explore the stories of journeys, the theatre of travel, and how people use their travel time.   Whether resting, reading, watching or writing, chatting or listening, travel time is our time, to use as we choose.  And a great journey is like a book that you want to finish but not to end.
