In this week's episode we talk about Sweden’s chances of winning the Eurovision Song Contest for a record-breaking eighth time with KAJ's song Bara Bada Bastu.
On a related note, we immerse ourselves in sauna culture and the Swedish language as it’s spoken in Finland.
We discuss new comments from Sweden’s migration minister, Johan Forssell, on the three-month deadline for job seekers on work permits and how he’s taking inspiration from Finland when it comes to attracting highly skilled workers to Sweden.
Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Emma Löfgren and Richard Orange.
Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:
Eurovision
- Why Sweden's bizarre sauna hit could actually win Eurovision
- What do the lyrics of Sweden's Eurovision entry Bara Bada Bastu actually mean?
Language
Swedish traditions
Immigration
- Swedish Migration Minister: 'No formal decision' made on future work permit salary threshold
- 'Enormous potential': How Sweden's migration minister wants to attract international talent
- OPINION: Want to make Sweden more attractive, Johan Forssell? Listen to those already here
