In this episode of Career in Ruins, Derek and Lawrence finally sit down—successfully!—with Dr. Robin Rönnlund, classical archaeologist at the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish Institute at Athens. After two failed recording attempts (one lost to rooftop wine, the other to a rustling coat), Robin joins us from the field in Greece to talk about excavations at ancient Vlochos, the challenges of running international projects, and what it takes to build strong connections with local communities. We dive into Robin's archaeological journey, from being inspired by Jacques Cousteau on VHS to becoming a specialist in ancient urbanism, and explore the realities of funding, teamwork, and early-career research in Greece. Plus: Viking runes on a marble lion in Venice, thoughts on prehistoric parenting, and why missed deadlines can sometimes change your life for the better.   Follow the Project:

Joining together the righteous forces of Obsequiae and Inexorum for some Gothenburg-style melodeath throwback, it's been nearly two and a half years since the release of Majesties' debut album Vast Reaches Unclaimed (20 Buck Spin) and it's still a favorite amongst some of us here at Nine Circles. A follow-up may not (yet) be upon us, but myself and a couple others had the utmost privilege of catching their incredible live debut at this year's Fire in the Mountains festival on the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. I had asked the core trio of Tanner, Carl Skildum, and Matt Kirkwold if they were down for an interview at some point during the festival; naturally it's hard to arrange such a meeting with no cell service and schedules all over the place (not to mention not wanting to miss a ton of killer bands), but Tanner and I were able to set aside some time to record on the shore of Two Medicine Lake right near the festival grounds. We discussed how the show went, nerded out about classic melodic extreme metal (a lot), and more. Check back in the not-too-distant future as more from Majesties is on the horizon!HUGE thanks to Tanner for the time and audio assist! 9C LINKS: Website | Facebook | Twitter (X) | Instagram | Bluesky

The UK, France and Germany have begun the process of reimposing UN sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program. The move will trigger a so-called snapback mechanism under the 2015 nuclear deal.The three European powers took the step in a letter to the UN Security Council on Thursday. The Council now has 30 days to decide whether to continue sanctions relief or let it expire. Is time running out for diplomacy? What would a potential snapback of UN sanctions mean for Iran and its nuclear decisions? And what impact could a collapse in talks have on an already fragile Middle East? Host Zhao Ying is joined by Kamal Makili-Aliyev, Associate Professor at the School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg; Zhang Chuchu, Deputy Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Fudan University.

In this episode of my podcast, The Global Agora, Niklas Harring, Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg, discusses the complex relationship between public concern over climate change and actual support for climate policies. While surveys consistently show that Europeans overwhelmingly view climate change as a serious threat and support ambitious climate goals, there remains a striking gap between this concern and acceptance of concrete measures such as carbon pricing or the removal of fossil fuel subsidies. Harring explains why fairness perceptions and political leadership are key to bridging this gap, how public experiences of climate impacts shape attitudes, and why hope and effective communication are essential for sustaining climate action in democratic societies. And what does he think about Greta Thunberg, and about the effect of the Donald Trump administration's actions on fighting climate change? Listen to our conversation.

Teddie Dahlin was born in Norway and graduated from Business School in Gothenburg, Sweden with a degree in International Marketing and Economics. She has worked as a freelance music journalist for several magazines in the UK, most notably Vive le Rock, and she's written 5 published books.In 2012, after a bad experience with a UK publisher, Teddie established New Haven Publishing to put out her book, A Vicious Love Story: Remembering the Real Sid Vicious, which is her account of being the 16-year-old translator for the Sex Pistols during a leg of their 1977 Scandinavian Tour. It was New Haven's first book. A Vicious Love Story takes us through Teddie's unique encounter with Sid Vicious and the Sex Pistols, including a fascinating cast of characters surrounding the band, such as Neon Leon, Eileen Polk, Peter Gravelle, Kenny Gordon, and Howie Pyro. I've read A Vicious Love Story and can tell you I was thoroughly engrossed by Teddie's description of what it was like for her at such a young age to be tossed into the middle of a fairly wild scene with such dynamic punk rockers, especially as she became quite close to Sid Vicious.Since 2012, New Haven Publishing has grown substantially, now representing 200 authors with a catalogue of 250 books that are heavily anchored in the music and entertainment industry. New Haven also has several imprints: Phoenix Press Kids books, Viking Press Comics, Portland Press Novels, and in the United States, New Haven Publishing US. For the record, Teddie and I have known one another for several years as I've had the privilege of interviewing numerous New Haven Publishing authors, including Tim Quinn, Jimmy Ryan, Jon Kremer, and the one and only Suzi Quatro.https://www.newhavenpublishingltd.com/

Russia has announced it will stop abiding by the now-defunct INF treaty with the United States.The announcement came just days after Trump ordered the repositioning of two nuclear submarines in response to what he called "threatening comments" from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy chair of Russia's security council.Is this the beginning of a new nuclear arms race? What happens when nuclear posturing, once considered a taboo topic, plays out over social media between world leaders? And eighty years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, have we forgotten the reality of nuclear war and the moral restraint that once held it at bay?Host Zhao Ying is joined by Kamal Makili-Aliyev, Associate Professor at the School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg, Joseph Siracusa, Professor of Global Futures, Curtin University in Australia, Zhang Xin, Deputy Director of the Center for Russian Studies at East China Normal University.

This episode of Street Culture Podcast has a different sound – English, because our guest is the iconic carrier of European breaking history from Sweden, Bboy Freeze. So the quotes in the carousel are in the language of flow and cipher. What did the first wave of hip-hop in Europe look like? Why was breaking in the 80s an act of rebellion, not just a trend? What did hip-hop sound like before it was played on the radio? And how did the streets of Gothenburg differ from the streets of Kharkiv? In the thirteenth episode of the second season of Street Culture Podcast, we go back to the 80s, when breaking was just emerging in Sweden. These were the times of VHS tapes, disco clubs for teenagers, and the first battles in school hallways. That's when it all began – with robot dance, Rocksteady crew tapes, and roller skating parties. Everything that is now called a scene was then simply called «being in your neighborhood and wanting to dance». Bboy Freeze's story is a journey from living room floors and the first belly mill to the creation of the legendary Ghost Crew. It's a conversation about contrasts – when someone trained with city support, and someone else under threat of arrest due to VHS. When someone had clubs and tours, and someone else had only concrete and stubbornness. We talk not only about dance but also about a generation that didn't stop when it became «unfashionable». About the dark ages of Scandinavian breaking, which laid the foundation for everything that exists now. About those times when one had to fight not for medals, but for the very existence of culture. Listen to Street Culture Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, and MEGOGO Audio. We preserve history while it still breathes. We are creating a new season of the podcast about Ukrainian street culture together with Street Culture & uabreaking & Algorytm NGO and Egor Dach. Find out how breaking history was made and how breaking became an Olympic discipline from training in a residential area.

Checking in from Sweden

The final round of talks in pursuit of a Global Plastics Treaty is due to get under way in Geneva shortly and there's everything still to play for.   But as ambitious countries and civil society organisations such as EIA pursue a robust agreement to meaningfully tackle the crisis, corporate fossil fuel interests seek instead to discredit the science and push for a diluted Treaty which will allow them to continue business as usual.   To discuss what's at stake and what we might expect from the talks, Senior Press & Communications Officer Paul Newman talks with EIA Ocean Campaign Lead Chris Dixon and special guest Bethanie Carney Almroth, Professor of Ecotoxicology at Sweden's University of Gothenburg and a part of the Scientists Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty.

NATO leaders have agreed to ramp up military spending to 5% of their national GDP by 2035.They made the pledge at a summit in The Hague, following months of pressure from US President Donald Trump.Is NATO bending too far to keep Trump on board, or is this just what modern transatlantic alliance looks like?

Today we are celebrate 30 Years of The Haunted with founding member and guitar player Patrik Jensen! He tells us about the day he quit his job to go all in on his music career which ended up pioneering an entire genre of extreme metal alongside his peers in the Gothenburg scene (At The Gates, In Flames, Soilwork). The Haunted also just dropped an absolute banger brand new album titled "Songs Of Last Resort" and gives us an extra layer of appreciation for the concept as he explains it was inspired from a riveting real life military procedure called the Letter Of Last Resort. He also leaves us with advice for aspiring musicians and his secret to longevity that is all about never letting that excited 16 year old within you fade away.

Where in the world am I? Eurail Travel planning   Hi there, I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest. I'm in San Diego now, sharing my best travel ideas and working on another book for you to enjoy: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, Part C. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world.   Listener Story Spotlight I want to tell you about a listener named Kristen. Kristen loves to travel. She recently received a Fullbright Scholarship and took a trip with her husband and sons to a foreign country, Portugal, for several months. She's full of great travel ideas and will be helpful as I continue to travel and make my adventures more mobile. She's encouraging me to keep going in my travels and is a professor in Southern California. Quick fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is:  Do you find that air travel dries your sinuses? Do you get dry and scratchy throats afterward? Yes, it happens. Let's talk about how to rid yourself of this in advance.    How to avoid the dryness of airline flights? The answer:   My solution is Saline Nasal Spray. I bought the 1.5-oz size for $4.00, which will last my entire trip. Before you get dry sinuses, squirt some in each nostril and then relax as it goes to work. What are the ingredients? Water, sodium chloride, disodium phosphate, benzyl alcohol, sodium phosphate, and benzalkonium chloride. Water and salt. There are three ways to use it: Squeeze twice in each nostril, and it delivers a spray, a stream, and a drop upside down. Take your pick. 60-second confidence challenge   Advice for Active Seniors :  “There is no shame in prioritizing and slowing down vs. overdoing. Most injuries happen when people are rushing. “Go slower, arrive sooner” is a helpful mantra.”  (Ellen McCabe) If you like today's Confidence Challenge, Chapter 2 of my book dives deeper buy it on Amazon or https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com   See Book A for addressing all of these items.   Today's destination is Eurail Travel Planning I said: You are traveling in Europe in the Summer of 2025. You arrive in Athens, Greece, then go to Krakow, Warsaw, Poland, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, and end in Edinburgh, Scotland, where you leave the EU. You will travel for five weeks. How many days will you want to use the Eurail pass for trains and ferries? Plan the trip, including seat fees and senior discounts with these countries, and suggest other places that would be a good stopping point or worth seeing. I am a solo woman in my prime.

In a world of perpetual motion, there exists a realm of profound stillness—where light doesn't simply illuminate, it transforms. Far from home amid Earth's frozen tundras, time itself seems suspended in crystalline air. In today's podcast, we'll visit these places where time hangs in the balance, and we'll explore the intrepid mix of endurance, patience, and vision it takes to make pictures there. Joining us for this conversation are polar photography specialists Acacia Johnson and Jonas Paurell. From making distinctions between Arctic and Antarctic regions, to learning about the unique challenges involved with photographing there, our polar experts share many valuable insights. In addition to tips about packing and safeguarding camera gear in cold weather climates, we also discuss the importance of managing expectations during such trips, especially when faced with a long wait to see wildlife amid the barren stillness. As Alaskan photographer Acacia Johnson puts it, “… I think going into a trip with kind of a sense of exploration, like the joy of the trip is that you don't know, and it's completely unique to your experience. And whatever you do see is kind of a gift.”   Guests: Acacia Johnson & Jonas Paurell Episode Timeline: 3:37: Acacia Johnson's upbringing in the wilds of Alaska and leaving the area for photo studies at the Rhode Island School of Design in the lower 48. 7:35: Jonas Paurell's youth in Sweden and the impact his first trek to Scandinavian Arctic regions had on his soul. 14:08: The differences between Arctic and Antarctic polar landscapes, plus Acacia's experiences during a winter in Arctic Bay, with no sun for four months. 29:13: Different approaches to storytelling about the Arctic based on subject matter, and capturing an emotion in images that does justice to the landscape. 37:31: The logistics of getting to Arctic and Antarctic locations, and expenses involved with working and living there. 43:19: The Jubilee Expedition Jonas organized to celebrate the 150th anniversary of a legendary Swedish polar expedition to Svalbard. 51:20: Episode Break 51:38: Preparations for a polar expedition and the camera gear Acacia and Jonas pack. 1:00:31: Using a large format camera on polar expeditions, plus managing gear in extreme cold conditions. 1:06:42: Managing expectations for travelers, misconceptions when planning trips, plus different types of vessels used during expeditions to polar regions. 1:16:42: Cultivating an authentic connection to place when photographing polar regions. 1:21:29: The changing ethics of photographing in polar regions, plus findings from Jonas's Jubilee Expedition Guest Bios: Acacia Johnson is a photographer, writer, and a 2023 National Geographic Explorer based in Anchorage, Alaska. Drawn to painterly light and otherworldly landscapes, her work focuses on the environment, conservation, and connections between people and place. Over the past 10 years, she has made more than fifty expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica as a photographer and a guide—always seeking to inspire wonder and compassion for these remote regions during a time of rapid change. Her photographs have been exhibited internationally and have been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, National Geographic and TIME magazines, among other publications. In 2021, Acacia was awarded the Canon Female Photojournalist Grant, and in 2022 she received the ICP Infinity Award for Documentary Practices and Photojournalism. Jonas Paurell is an explorer, conservation photographer, photo educator, and speaker from Gothenburg, Sweden. One of his most ambitious projects is a 25-year documentation of the Arctic. Through ski expeditions and icebreaker voyages, he has captured both the resilience and vulnerability of Arctic landscapes, emphasizing the fragility of the region and the urgent need for preservation. In 2022, Jonas launched The Jubilee Expedition, recreating the historic Swedish Polar Expedition of 1872 to highlight this region's rapid melting and the far-reaching impacts of climate change. Jonas is also founder of Terra Photography Expeditions, which offers immersive workshops in both Arctic regions and South American rainforests, helping photographers deepen their connection with nature while refining their craft. Additionally, before dedicating his life to photography, Jonas served as a human rights lawyer for the United Nations.

This week, we're heading to Gothenburg, Sweden to sit down with Michelin-starred chef Håkan Thörnström — a culinary storyteller with decades of experience turning local, seasonal ingredients into unforgettable meals.Håkan shares how growing up with a garden, a coastline full of seafood, and the scent of his grandmother's baking shaped his lifelong relationship with food. We talk about his passion for ingredient-driven cooking, why he prefers partnering with foragers and small producers over big suppliers, and what makes Nordic cuisine so distinct — clean flavors, seasonal simplicity, and deep respect for nature.He walks us through iconic Swedish traditions like the smörgåsbord and Midsummer celebrations, tells us why Swedish pancakes are rarely found in restaurants, and shares a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like to cook for the Nobel Prize dinner — twice.

Free women from feeling terrorized and imprisoned by the narrative that unless they are a hard driving career woman, making lots of money competing with men out in the world, that they have no value. Free women, and give them permission to embrace instincts that they feel, but society doesn't give them permission to feel.” - Erica Komisar   “How can we talk about the future of the world if we can't talk about, and especially in a forum that's supposed to be for women, [if] we are not using the word ‘mother' or ‘family' and we're talking about the future?” - Carolina Allen   “We need to use the words more. We need to show motherhood.

In this episode of Braving Business, we sit down with Ulf Ekberg, co-founder of the iconic Swedish pop group Ace of Base. Rising to global fame in the 1990s with hits like "All That She Wants" and "The Sign," the band sold over 50 million records worldwide, making them one of Sweden's most successful musical exports. Beyond the charts, Ulf's journey is one of transformation. From his early days immersed in Gothenburg's electronic music scene, inspired by bands like Kraftwerk, to co-founding Ace of Base, his passion for technology and music was evident. However, his past associations with extremist groups during his teenage years cast a shadow over his success. Ulf has publicly acknowledged and expressed deep regret for this period, emphasizing that those views are not reflective of who he is today. In recent years, Ulf has channeled his energies into technology and sustainability. He co-founded a music production and management company with Jonas Berggren and has been involved in sustainable impact investing, including serving as a governor for the Stoic Foundation. In this candid conversation, Ulf shares:The origins of Ace of Base and their unexpected rise to fameHis reflections on past mistakes and the journey to personal growthTransitioning from pop stardom to tech entrepreneurship and sustainability initiativesInsights into the music industry's evolution and the role of technologyKey Takeaways:Personal transformation is possible, even after public misstepsDiversifying one's career can lead to fulfilling second actsEmbracing technology and sustainability can drive meaningful changeConnect with Ulf Ekberg:Website: about.me/ulf.ekbergInstagram: @ulfbuddhaLinkedIn: Ulf EkbergContact Us: Visit www.bravingbusiness.com for more episodes and updates.Ulf's story is a testament to the complexities of personal growth, the power of reinvention, and the enduring impact of music and technology.

It's tax day, but some of the important policies that are helping your farm maintain profitability are in jeopardy if the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 is allowed to expire this year. Provisions like the Qualified Business Income Deduction, 100% Bonus Depreciation, and the increased Estate Tax Exemption are critically important to producers across the country. So in this episode, we're talking with two of NCGA's foremost experts about how these policies benefit farmers… and what we can do to preserve them. Andy Jobman is a farmer from Gothenburg, Nebraska, and chairs NCGA's Risk Management Action Team, which has been researching the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act at the farm gate and building up our case to preserve it. And Wayne Stoskopf is NCGA's Director of Public Policy, serving as the D.C. staff liaison for all matters involving tax policy. Together, they'll explain why farmers can't afford to lose these tax protections, what it means for rural communities, and why it's critical for growers to contact their legislators about this issue.

“One of the things we know about the brain is that information that is acquired through problem solving is more likely to be retained. I might start rehearsal by saying 'take out the piece in D major,' 'let's start in the climactic moment of the Brahms,' 'take out the piece where fire is used as a metaphor for passion.' You start with a problem, so you're already engaging neurons. This works at any age."Sharon J. Paul holds the Robert M. Trotter Chair of Music at the University of Oregon, where she currently serves as Department Head of Music Performance and Director of Choral Activities. Her teaching includes graduate courses in choral conducting, repertoire, and pedagogy, along with conducting the internationally award-winning Chamber Choir.In March 2020, Oxford University Press published Dr. Paul's book, Art & Science in the Choral Rehearsal, which features many of the creative and evidence-based teaching strategies she has cultivated over her career.The University of Oregon Chamber Choir has placed first or second in four international choral competitions, most recently winning first prize in the Chamber Choir category at the Grand Prix of Nations Competition in Gothenburg, Sweden in August 2019.

In this powerful episode of Finding Harmony Podcast, we welcome back Kate Winter, a registered psychodynamic counselor, yoga teacher, and former police detective, to explore the deep patterns that shape our behavior—and how we can break free from them. Kate shares her personal journey of moving through extremes—from marathon running and bodybuilding to Ashtanga yoga and psychotherapy—and how each phase of her life revealed deeper lessons about control, identity, and healing. Trigger Warning This episode discusses topics that may be sensitive for some listeners, including eating disorders, body image struggles, exercise addiction, trauma, and fertility challenges. If these topics are triggering for you, please listen with care or seek support from a trusted professional.   Key Topics Discussed: The patterns of competition and self-worth that drive overachievers Why resistance isn't something to fight—it's something to listen to The role of therapy in complementing yoga practice for deeper self-awareness How letting go of control allowed Kate to get pregnant after years of struggle The connection between somatic experience, psychotherapy, and healing trauma What happens when we stop pushing and start trusting our bodies This episode is a must-listen if you've ever struggled with perfectionism, discipline, or the fear of slowing down. Kate's story is a beautiful reminder that true transformation often begins with letting go. Kate Winter is a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist based in Brighton in the UK.    As a former Police Officer and senior leader in a Rape Crisis Centre, Kate has spent the past twenty years working on the frontline of trauma. Moving away from the idea that trauma is something to be 'healed', Kate works on the premise that trauma can be used as a vehicle for individual and collective transformation.    With additional experience as an Ashtanga yoga practitioner and Personal Trainer, Kate uses traditional psychoanalysis, yoga philosophy and movement practices to help clients bring about lasting change.

“You can't build a new life while telling yourself the same old story.” If you've ever felt stuck, undervalued, or afraid to take up space, this episode is for you. Harmony sits down with Dr. Julie Artis, career coach, sociologist, and advocate for women's leadership. They get real about why so many women struggle with self-worth, how old societal patterns still shape our financial lives, and—most importantly—how we can rewrite the story and step fully into our power. What's Inside This Episode? Why so many women fear visibility—and how to move past it The simple reflection rituals that can help you release old patterns Why your inner critic isn't your enemy (and what it's really trying to tell you) The game-changing power of community and why we thrive together How to stop seeing success as a solo mission and embrace collaboration over competition “We're not meant to just survive—we're meant to thrive. And when women thrive, entire communities transform.” — Harmony Slater QUOTES TO REMEMBER: “Women have been taught to shrink. It's time to take up space.” “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” “Every time a woman claims her worth, the world changes for the better.” How to Connect & Work with Julie Artis Website: Julie Artis Coaching Instagram: @DrJulieArtis Join Harmony's Upcoming Yoga Retreat 10-Day Yoga Journey in Gothenburg, Sweden March 21-30, 2025 A transformative blend of asana, philosophy, and deep healing Visit https://harmonyslater.com/events or DM @harmonyslaterofficial on   Instagram for details Join B-School: https://harmonyslater.com/b-school-marie-forleo Clarity Call with Harmony: https://harmonyslater.as.me/Clarity-Session Find your Spiritual Archetype!
