In this week's episode, panelists Becky Waterton and Richard Orange tell us how they've recently embellished their Swedish credentials through woodland activities and crayfish parties. 

In news, we look at how the government is planning to combat high food prices as well as what property prices and the value of the krona are telling us about the state of Sweden’s economy.

We also dive into the new Swedish cultural canon that was presented this week and we hear what people are saying about a list spanning everything from Ikea to Pippi Longstocking.

For Membership+ subscribers we ask why the Sweden Democrats are pushing for child sex offenders to be surgically castrated and we finish up with news of a new pro-immigration party in Sweden and how it and other new parties are changing the political landscape.

Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:
