Introducing Kingdom: Swedish Rulers

Introducing Kingdom: Swedish Rulers

Hello new listeners to A Flatpack History of Sweden!

We're dropping this brief episode here at the start of the feed to let you know that in 2025 we started our second podcast, discussing and ranking all the kings, queens and regents of Sweden.

It is called Kingdom: Swedish Rulers.

Just search for Kingdom Swedish Rulers in your podcast player and you should be able to find it. There you can find a longer introduction into the concept and what we do over there, as a complement to A Flatpack History of Sweden.

You can find out more information about the podcast on our website and the Kingdom section there here. You can even follow us on our social media:
