July 16, 2025 #153 Återblick: Gäster
Early in the podcast we brought guests in to teach us some history. We reflect on those episodes here. We had Kathryn LeRoux (The Witch Hunt), Schif Musarra (First Black in Sweden), My Gudmunsdotter (Fet Mats) and Agnes Matsdotter (Den Svenska synden) as great guests. Maybe we'll start back having guests on. Should we? Enjoy!

July 09, 2025 #152 Återblick: Kalabalik avsnittet
Back when they were only 15 episodes into this podcast, Erik and Jon came into the studio with the same history lesson. It was the "Kalabaliken i Bender" story that led to the guys tag teaming the lesson for the episode instead of one of them learning. The episode turned out great. Go check out the full episode after you hear this re-telling of that moment and recording. Enjoy!
