“Great podcast of journalists, who report about: culture, economy, finance, language, jobs, and politics of Sweden. They discuss an insight to non Swedish speaker(s) to know and understand all about Sweden.”

My Swedish partner also learns new things about Sweden! One thing I would like to see more of is how...”Read full review »

“American living in Sweden - this podcast is a godsend for keeping up with the day to day events and getting a feel for the cultural ebbs and flows.
The economic and immigration coverage is great - don’t take the foot off the gas! :-)”

“I’ve lived in the UK for 49 years but there’s still a very blue and yellow heart in there. I shared a few weeks on a sunny beach with Richard Orange’s parents recently and they told me about Sweden in Focus; I’m hooked. So informative, no mincing of words, no obvious woke, factual, humorous and...”Read full review »

“Insightful, professional but at the same time like listening to people having a chat over coffee.
I have learnt a lot and also not felt so alone with my thoughts and feelings of this wonderful yet oft confusing land!”

“Three British people talk about Swedish news. Very British centric even though the vast majority of foreigners living in Sweden are not. Finally after brexit they are realizing there are a lot of struggles for the rest of us. Can you imagine having trouble getting a visa or a mortgage? Would be...”Read full review »

“Super useful for those English speakers living in Sweden including those who might miss some of the subtleties even if they speak some Swedish.
Think would be interesting also for those who don’t live in Sweden but have interest, or just want a short bite size overview of a different country.”

“Update: One star and Five stars. I’m trying to be as inconsistent as this show’s output. When they put out an episode it is even-handed, informative, and generally wonderful.
However, don’t get too excited about the next episode, you may be waiting for a week or 10 months. Who can say?”

“I have lived in Sweden for 8 years, this podcast is the thing I have been waiting for.
My Swedish is good enough to follow the news but for analysis and nuance, something in your native language is like a lighthouse in a storm.
This podcast is a must listen for Swedes also, especially those...”Read full review »

“As a non-Swedish-speaking American in Sweden, it can be hard to stay up-to-date with local goings on. The Local is a great resource, of course, as is Swedish Radio’s English daily news podcast, but it’s just a few minutes of headlines. I like how Sweden in Focus looks at current events and life...”Read full review »
