À propos de ce contenu audio

If you’ve ever wondered what makes Swedes tick this is the podcast for you. Whether you’re planning a short visit or preparing to move here, we’ll guide you through the quirks, customs, and cultural codes that define life in Sweden. From the art of lagom (that perfect balance), to why everyone disappears to the countryside in July, we’ll unpack the traditions and behaviours that might surprise you—and help you fit right in. So settle in, and join us as we explore what it really means to live like a Swede.


And regarding me that is running this show? I am a +50 year old by the name of Anders, living in Stockholm, Sweden. Having a normal job during the adays, but the last couple of years I have realized that my voice captures people. In my job, I am speaking at a lot of events and such and after these sessions, I have sometimes been approached by people telling me they really enjoy my voice. So I realized that there must be something that makes a lot of people really like my voice? Therefore I figured, why not try and use my voice?


And, since I work in an international environment I experience other cultures and behaviours in other countries and have been thinking a lot about how the Swedish culture in many respects is different from others. Not that it is better or worse than others, but we Swedes act a bit different in some respects. Therefore I set up this Podcast to explain some of our habits and customs we have in Sweden.

    • A Swedes view of Religion

      A Swedes view of Religion
      Jan 2 2026

      Ever wondered why Sweden is often called one of the most secular countries in the world? In this episode, we unpack how Swedes view religion. I explore the typical Swedish attitudes toward faith, spirituality, and organized religion. Where we are shaped by past traditions, modern values, and the balance between belief and personal

      freedom.

    • Jantelagen - The Law of Jante

      Jantelagen - The Law of Jante
      Dec 21 2025

      Welcome to this episode, where we dive into the fascinating world of Swedish social norms and explore one of the most defining cultural concepts: the Law of Jante, or Jantelagen. This unwritten code, deeply rooted in Sweden, emphasizes humility, equality, and the idea that no one should think they’re better than anyone else. We’ll unpack how this mindset shapes everyday behaviors in Sweden—from workplace dynamics to social interactions. Whether you’re curious about cultural psychology or planning to work and live in Sweden, this episode will give you insights into something that really defines a lot of Swedes.
