Teach Me Sweden

#85 New Sweden

Ep. 85
•

Teach Me Sweden is a Swedish History podcast by comedians Jonathan Rollins (US) and Erik Broström (SE). Each week one of them reads a true story from Swedish History to the other one who likely knows nothing about it.


In this episode, Jon teaches Erik about the time in the 1600s when Sweden (and other countries, for that matter) tried its hand at colonization across the Atlantic in what is now the United States of America. The area is in what is now the northeast part of the US, places that Jon actually has driven through. There's nostalgia, idiocy and fun history as always. Enjoy!
