Why many Swedes feast on goose blood in November

In this week's episode we talk about why Sweden is paying Somalia to accept citizens deported from Sweden and whether the political scandal is helping or hurting the government.

We also explain why a lot of Swedes will be eating goose blood soup to celebrate St Martin’s Day.

For Membership+ subscribers we discuss why a growing number of Swedish towns are refusing to help the government with its plan to encourage more people who came to Sweden as refugees to leave the country.

Finally, we’ lift the lid on some of the biggest taboos in Swedish politics.

Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Becky Waterton and James Savage.

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

  • 'Pure bribery': Sweden paid Somalia millions to accept deportees

Swedish traditions

  • Why the duck do some Swedes feast on goose blood in November?
  • Gang deportations and goose blood: What changes in Sweden in November
