This week we look at the government’s solution to teen deportations, and we discuss the new citizenship law coming into force on Saturday, which also happens to be National Day.

We also talk about how unnerving it can be for foreigners when a young child switches to Swedish before you even properly understand it.

And for Membership+ subscribers, we talk about the Swedish community in the US and how they keep their Swedishness alive.

Host Richard Orange is joined this week by panelists Mandy Pipher and James Savage. 

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

Immigration

Politics

Family

Sweden and the US
