Swede As - The Podcast

It's our final episode of 2020!!! We thought we'd take the year out in 'Swede As' style and chat all things Christmas - as well as share some surprising news about Sheona's immigration saga (let's hope she is still allowed in Sweden next season!) We compare Christmas carols, real trees vs plastic, admire Sheona's first pepparkakshus and support Brian through his struggles with tjugondag knut. We also welcome a first-time, special guest to the show to teach us about Gävle's big, burning goat. Thank you for listening to 'Swede As The Podcast' this year! We hope you have a wonderful New Year - bring on 2021!!

In our final episode of Season 2, we dive into Sweden's more 'sobering' radio station, P1. We remember our meltdowns when we first moved to Sweden. Brian educates us on Swedish country music, called dansbandsmusik. We explore Swedish classic songs that everyone (expat or Swede) should acquaint themselves with. And we present one of Sweden's most beloved TV shows "Så mycket bättre". We're on instagram and want to hear from you! @swedeasthepodcast Swede As The Podcast is: Tania Doko, Sheona Urquhart and Brian Modin Theme Music: Candle Wax by The FLIGHTS Recorded at: Clarion Sign hotel, Stockholm Editing: Sheona Urquhart

In our tenth episode of season two Brian, Tania and Sheona discuss Swedish properties, the dialect in the southern part of Sweden - known as Skånska - Sheona witnesses a bicycle accident and attempts to help, Brian warns the girls about the upcoming Autumn-depression and also schools the girls on the rotation of the earth. We also discuss how we felt when we first moved to Sweden - loosely dubbing it the '3 months of shock' period and how it affected our ability to make friends.

In this lightning episode, we launch into one of the most mysterious items of food found in Sweden.... every expat knows about it, even though it's unlikely you've ever ordered it! We also talk about Brian's moose-head (are you honestly surprised?!), Swedish food and the possibility that Swedes are actually not as conservative as ya'll make yourselves out to be!

Glad sommar allihopa! We swing into this episode with a slightly embarassing game of golf. We pick berries and questionable mushrooms, whilst trying to avoid encounters with bears. We sing-a-long to allsång på skansen and we uncover the truth about Melbourne's recent mask-avoiding Karen. Cameo appearances include the frog-dance and a murderous moose!
