We're Back at Intelligent Speech 2026!

We continue investigating the Stone Age in Sweden, this time focusing on the Neolithic period. We find out how farming was developed, why so much fire was involved and touch on the amazing graves and burial chambers we will focus on more next time around.

We kick off our podcast with a look at how Sweden physically formed after the last ice age. We meet the first people to move in after this change and see how they lived during the Paleolithic and Mesolithic Ages. Expect Mammoths, hunter-gatherers and a very special lady - Bäckaskogskvinnan!    Please do follow us on Twitter on too! @FlatpackSweden

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: Facebook Bluesky Twitter
