Time for a new #poll to continue revealing our new logo! This time we'll remove the two squares that get the most votes.

Here we go! Here's the new logo of the podcast!! 🔥🥳 Later today we'll update all our profile pics, including in podcast players, so keep an extra eye out tomorrow when the next episode is released! Not sure exactly how long it will take to get through the system...

A few listeners have been sharing their #spotifywrapped! If you have us in your top 10 or top 5 podcasts, or are crazy enough to listen to us more than any other podcast; Thank you, tack så mycket! Of course, thank you to you all, regardless of where you listen and how often 😃

It is pretty cold in Stockholm at the moment! The City Hall and Gamla Stan are now surrounded by ice, where there is usually the entrance from the archipelago into lake Mälaren. Makes the city so much brighter during winter too 😍🥶❄️☃️

Our latest episode is out! There's a disaster in Småland where some peasants get angry, and someone manages to hold onto a job for slightly longer than Liz Truss did! Find out who now 😄 #podcast #newepisode

Outside the Sjöhistoriska museum in Stockholm are two memorials; to Swedes who died during UN service and to Dag Hammarskjöld, the UN Secretary General killed in 1961. The memorial, raised by Swedish UN veterans who served in Congo says "We gave something, he gave everything."

North America and Sweden had two different priorities in the 1700s... George Washington: I'm going to lead a rebellion to free my country from the British! A farmer in Dalarna: I'm turning my toilet into a museum! Find out more about this hilarious story in episode 99 🤣😄

Time for a new episode of A Flatpack History of Sweden! Last time we covered how the Protestant Reformation reached Sweden. This time we'll look at the backlash to the Reformation, including a group of peasants who are not happy about having their church bells taken away 🔔😡

Today is Midsummer's Eve, a big holiday in Sweden! Originally a pagan celebration of fertility and harvest, it involves dancing around a maypole and collecting flowers. There's also a traditional meal of herring and potatoes, which one half of Flatpack HQ has just enjoyed 😄🐟

Surprise! Not a new episode, but a new video out today 🥳🎥 Chris visited Visby and filmed a short introduction to the town, its famous walls and the Battle of Visby in 1361. Hope you enjoy the sites and sounds of the town! #visby #premiere #gotland youtu.be/mJw0M1-uTcg

OUR LATEST EPISODE IS OUT!! WE ARE CELEBRATING BY SHOUTING LIKE GUSTAV VASA USED TO DO A LOT TO HIS STAFF! 📢📣 HOPE YOU ENJOY LISTENING TO IT!! 😃

We've been back to the Vasa Museum to see their amazing Brickwrecks exhibition, which is all about shipwrecks depicted in Lego! There was a really cool model of the Vasa, which span around and sank, and a diorama about the salvage operation! So super cool 😎

Spoilers for tomorrow... 😉🙊

Hammarby the better team over the 45 minutes, but lacking the final ball or shot. Lucky deflected goal for City! #bbcfootball #forzabajen

It's not just Sunday - it's another Special Episode Sunday 🥳 We dive into (yes, pun intended 😆) the fate of the Polish submarines & their crew that ended up interned in Sweden during World War II. How did that happen, who were they & what happened to them after the war?

Chris stepped back in time to visit the 17th century New Älvsborg Fortress whilst in Gothenburg! Once a guardian against Danish attacks, today it’s a living reminder of 17th-century naval history. You can even still see the cannonballs in the tower wall from a Danish assault!

It's Sunday and time for the start of a new dynasty. In our longest episode yet we see an example of perhaps the biggest sex scandal in Swedish Royal history. Welcome to the reign of Valdemar!

Last time on Kingdom, we covered Valdemar, meaning we are one third of the way through ranking all of Sweden's rulers 😱 On Sunday we look at the first of our three "eras" of Swedish history, which we have arbritrally created, and see who has been the best in our categories! 🤔

We're delighted to say that we will again take part in the next online Intelligent Speech Conference on 28th February 2026! It’s where history podcasters and others join to present and discuss all things history. The theme of the 2026 conference is Companions and Rivals!

This weekend Chris went to see a historical site in central Stockholm that's temporarily more visible than usual, due to some strange weather conditions! The ship is a wreck from the 1600s and you can find out more by watching the video.
