Welcome to the page for our new podcast, where we are ranking all the Swedish Kings, Queens and Regents from Olof Skötkonung to Carl XVI Gustaf!
SCORE SPOILERS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!
The concept
If you have heard of a “Rexypod” then we are one of those! Inspired by the classic format started by Rex Factor, we will cover the life of each Swedish ruler and judge them on a number of categories. Once complete, we will then determine if they have the special ingredient required to award them The Three Crowns!
The categories
Swedish rulers got up to a lot of dramatic things over the centuries and our categories are designed to give us the opportunity to discuss as much as this as possible! Below you can find the explanations for each category and how many points are up for grabs.
The prize
The prize on offer for each ruler is that symbol of Swedishness, The Three Crowns. An average ruler might be put into the Lagom category, a Swedish concept of everything being very ordinary, whilst the losers will be ground up into a meatball!
