Is Sweden's new cultural canon helpful for immigrants?

In this week's episode, panelists Becky Waterton and Richard Orange tell us how they've recently embellished their Swedish credentials through woodland activities and crayfish parties. 

In news, we look at how the government is planning to combat high food prices as well as what property prices and the value of the krona are telling us about the state of Sweden’s economy.

We also dive into the new Swedish cultural canon that was presented this week and we hear what people are saying about a list spanning everything from Ikea to Pippi Longstocking.

Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:

Economy

  • How much money will Sweden's halving of food VAT save an average family?
  • Swedish apartment prices nearing three-year high
  • Swedish krona reaches strongest level in more than three years

Cultural canon

  • Pippi, Ikea and the Nobel prize: Sweden gets its first cultural canon
  • FULL LIST: Everything that's in Sweden's new cultural canon
