From the publisher's feed
Travelling in Sweden means moving through a country of almost 100,000 lakes, from the flat or gently rolling lowlands of the south to the mountains and subarctic interior in the west and north. The show follows that contrast town by town, with attention to how the Baltic coast and the Danish Straits tie Sweden to the wider region.
The programme ranges from Stockholm and Gothenburg to the Baltic island of Öland and the subarctic mining town of Kiruna. It also stops in places that reward returning: the lake landscape around Vänern, the forests of Småland, the old port of Sundsvall. Every location is chosen because it matters locally, not because it is a tourist headline.
The show unfolds in ordinary time. He returns to a place in winter and again in the late spring light, so a stretch of coast or a town square accumulates memory. By the third visit, the subarctic north feels less distant and the southern lowlands more settled, and each season changes what the other left behind.
Anton Lindqvist lives in Sweden and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Anton is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement.
A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers.
