    Gustav Vasa is dead. His son Erik calmly takes control over Sweden and is crowned King in an elaborate coronation.

  • S11. Ål About Eels
    Sep 8 2024

    It's time for another special episode! We're dedicating an entire episode to the life and cultural impact of eels, an animal that we've already seen play a part in Swedish history. We'll get better aquainted with the world's (potentially) oldest eel, who spent his life in a well in southern Sweden, go on a Freudian search for the eels' reproductive parts and hear about the time Åsa went into what she calls an eel coma.
