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 90 episodes into our journey and are currently covering the 1500s. We even release some special episodes, covering some funny or interesting pieces of Swedish history in the 20th century.
Give us a listen wherever you get your podcasts. You can even try out one of our favourite episodes right here!
