Welcome to the website for the podcasts A Flatpack History of Sweden and Kingdom: Swedish Rulers!
A Flatpack History of Sweden is a podcast about Swedish history. We are essentially A History of Sweden Podcast, just with a fun twist on the title! We go through Swedish history chronologically, starting from when the first humans arrived in this Nordic country, to the modern day. We cover a wide range of Scandinavian history; Swedish vikings exploring the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea and beyond, or sibling rivalry that rips the fledgling country apart when we head into the Middle Ages.
We’re over 120 episodes into our journey and are currently finishing covering the 1500s. We even release some special episodes, covering some funny or interesting pieces of Swedish history in the 20th century.
On 1st January 2025, we also released a second podcast called Kingdom: Swedish Rulers, all about the Swedish Queens, Kings and Regents, where we rank them in a new “Rexypod”. Be sure to check that out wherever you find our podcasts.
