BONUS EPISODE: How can Sweden put a stop to fatal gang shootings? Part 2

In this special bonus episode of our Sweden in Focus podcast, we hear more from special guest Diamant Salihu, a crime reporter for public broadcaster SVT and the author of the award-winning book Tills Alla Dör, or Until Everyone’s Dead.

Host Paul O’Mahony is also joined by panelists James Savage, Richard Orange and Becky Waterton.

In this episode we continue our chat about Sweden’s gang crime problem. 

We discuss the central role of social media and gangster rap, how gangs are recruiting young children, why a younger generation suddenly finds itself in charge, why there are so many drugs and guns in circulation, and if there’s anything Sweden can do to get the situation under control?

LISTEN: Swedish language reform controversy, and who are all the Skarsgårds?

In the latest episode of our Sweden in Focus podcast, host Paul O’Mahony is joined by panelists Becky Waterton and Richard Orange. 

In this week’s episode we discuss how the fallout from the recent banking sector turmoil might affect savers in Sweden. 

What’s going on with Nato? Are Hungary and Turkey are going to let Finland and Sweden in?

Is it time to dispense with ‘de’ and ‘dem’ in written Swedish and instead embrace ‘dom’? 

In a week when the Christian Democrats’ party secretary was fired after another senior figure in the party filed a police report against him, we look at how the scandal has played out so far and how the party has handled it. 

In the latest instalment of our ambassador series, we have an interview with Canada’s ambassador to Sweden, Jason LaTorre.

We also look at who’s who in the the Skarsgård acting dynasty before rounding off with tips for some of our own favourite Swedish films.
