This love child of Scott Ritcher and Karin Olli-Nilsson is perhaps the first and only podcast with a laugh track. Karin is a Swedish editor, quizmaster, and culture vulture. Scott is a Kentuckian graphic designer, magazine publisher, and musician. They met in 2012 and went on a few dates. They weren…
Scott Ritcher and Karin Olli-Nilsson
Karin and Scott are back in Stockholm and ready to talk about their job changes and Scott’s new apartment/flat (again). Scott’s foray into the bourbon industry – sometimes called the “whiskey business” – is also discussed. The mailman stops by with exciting audio postcards from Karin’s trips to Crete and...
Scott spent his Christmas holidays/vacation in – where else? – America. But just how much did he have to drink? Judging by his audio postcard from a New Orleans bar it seems he was 80 per cent/percent drunk. At least. Or so he says. Karin, on the other hand, is terrible at math/s and...
It’s the 10th December – which is not Lucia Day, nor is it Saint Nicholas’ Day or Karin’s birthday. It’s Nobel Day! We speculate about the reasons why Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature this year. Our theory? The Swedish Chef on the Muppet Show most definitely has something...
Swedish is a beautiful language. That is, as long as you just listen to the Swedish Chef on The Muppet Show. But when you start dissecting what it is those Swedelings are actually saying, it turns out to be DISGUSTING. Find out the true story behind words like “infart,” “kock,”...
Want to improve your chances of finding love through online dating? And who (or what) exactly is Karin’s new life companion? Find out in the second-anniversary episode of Snuggling with the Enemy, in which we talk about the Dos and Don’ts of Tinder! Welcome to episode number 20 of Snuggling...
One whole year since recording our last full episode, Snuggling with the Enemy returns to the podwaves for a brand new season of podcast funtimes. Find out what really went down in Farsta, what happened to the first-hand contract, and what the Snugglers have been up to in the past...
From the depths of the archive vaults deep down in the Stockholm suburb of Farsta come the ultimate Snuggling with the Enemy outtakes: It’s THE LOST EPISODE! For your aural pleasure, we present a WHOLE THIRD of an episode consisting of Scott & Karin airing their DIRTY LAUNDRY in public...
With the Snugglers now being flatmates/roommates – although, just to clarify, we do NOT share a room – last night we enjoyed a lovely dinner together. What we had to eat? Baguettes, pasta, basil, and tomatoes. It goes without saying that a discussion arose on how to pronounce all of...
Welcome to the very first Snuggling episode recorded in the brand new Snuggling HQ podcast studio! But first things first: We are so, SO sorry we’ve been away for SO long! The simple explanation for our absence from the podwaves is that we recently moved in together in the beautiful Stockholm suburb...
Episode number FIFTEEN gets a well-deserved touch of Scott’s organ, and we find out that Karin has been to a classical concert titled The Passion of the John. We’re still not sure whether it was about toilets or about a man who was keen on prositutes. We get a LIVE REPORT...
Welcome to what is quite possibly our best episode of the year! Err… We mean, the best episode of the year so far, obviously. 2015 has got off to a good start, with the Snugglers recording a brand new version of ABBA’s Happy New Year. And we also ended up giving...
It’s finally here: the festive episode you’ve all been waiting for! While the prosecco is flowing, Scott gets treated to a couple of English Christmas favo/u/rites: mince pies and Christmas crackers. Also don’t miss our very unique interpretation of Jingle Bells, recorded live during a Snuggling jam session. And just to clarify once...
After Snuggling with the Enemy’s victorious return two weeks ago, we went all out and celebrated with perhaps just a little bit too much Knob Creek Smoked Maple Bourbon… and in the elated commotion that arose, we decided to get married. Hear all about our engagement (and how it ended) in this brand new episode! Also...
After nearly four months of podcast abstinence, Scott and Karin are BACK in the studio on Sveavägen, and boy do we have lots of stuff and things to talk about! A LOT has happened since our last show. Karin has new hair, new glasses, a new coat, AND a brand new job...
This week’s program opens with a discussion of Karin’s necklace which contains a tiny, little clock. The conversation quickly turns to the world’s most famous clock wearer, Flavor Flav of Public Enemy. Scott is upset because he likes taking pictures but most of his friends don’t like being photographed. Though...
Having survived the Swedish midsummer zombie apocalypse, Scott and Karin are finally back in the recording studio after a 2-week hiatus. They get straight into discussing how most things in Sweden are extremely expensive, from getting your keys cut to buying an apartment. But not all Swedish things come with a price tag: neighborhood newspapers...
In the eighth episode, Karin reveals having spent an entire evening enjoying free booze while looking at pictures of naked animals. Disgusting! We also find out why Scott hasn’t sorted out the sound clips he promised for this week’s show. It’s because he hasn’t had enough time in his busy schedule. Karin’s problem...
Meet Rachel Matchett, the first ever guest on our new feature called Enemy of the Week! Rachel stands about 3 apples tall, has the body of a 16-year-old, and can hold her liquor better than the rest of us. She brought cake and cava to the Snuggling With The Enemy...
On their way to the recording studio, Scott and Karin are surprised to see that their route is blocked by tens of thousands of people running in the Stockholm Marathon. By the time we finally are able to sit down and begin recording, much of the day has passed and the episode is...
The fifth episode offers an aural treat in the form of a descant recorder played by our very own Karin! The intro theme song gets a jazzed-up baroque interpretation and England’s theme tune, Country Gardens, is treated to a well-deserved touch of woodwind. Staying on the musical theme, the hosts discuss Twitter trolls and...
Scott and Karin announce the launch of www.snuggling.se and make some corrections from last week: they apologise to The Hört, to a couple of cats and to all the people of China. Karin finally keeps her promise of being funnier on the show by telling a joke that Scott doesn’t get,...
In the third episode, the podcast gets a brand new introduction from Kevin the Charismatic South Carolina Presenter and officially changes its name to Snuggling with the Enemy. Scott and Karin dissect topics ranging from a hole in Scott’s shirt and how it got there, to fan mail and antiquated...
This week Scott and Karin discuss the joys of watching horses die at the Kentucky Derby, bad parenting, how they sometimes dress the same (in Scott’s opinion) and, of course, heroin. The episode features mint juleps, Kurt Cobain, Peaches Geldof, café crushes, and the feeling you get when a shop assistant...
