Latitude 59

I've been living in Sweden for years and at some point stopped being sure exactly where I'm from. That stopped being a problem a while ago.


This podcast is about what it means to adopt a country and let it slowly adopt you back. Stoic philosophy applied to real life. Swedish history and culture. The things that make me stop and think.


No self-help scripts, no easy answers, no AI (well, a little, just to fix the grammar). Honest reflections from somewhere between the Mediterranean and the Arctic.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
