Back in 2010, Japanese writer Mari Kondo changed how we think about organisation and decluttering with her bestseller The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Behind the book's grand title is a simple premise: anything that doesn't bring you joy should be thrown away.  Since then, a new and somewhat similar trend caught on in the late 2010s: death cleaning. It's mainly designed for people entering the final stages of their life, and making sure they don't overboard before passing away. People started talking about death cleaning in 2018, when Stockholm-based artist and widow Margareta Magnusson published a book called The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning. Since then, the trend has started catching on. The name comes from the Swedish döstädning: a combination of the word “dö”, which means death, and “standing”, which means cleaning.  How did Magnusson come up with the term? Where does death cleaning fit in alongside other minimalist trends? From what age do people start death cleaning? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

December brings those annual bad habits back for about six weeks. You know the ones. I sat on the couch all day after a neighbor's wine party and had one word: incompatible. Not sustainable. Compatible. That's the question that changes everything about your habits. You already know what you should be doing. I walk you through my Good Habit Generator process that makes it actually happen. Short list. Pick one. Do it today. Layer in the rest. Simple stuff that works when life gets complicated. Featured Story My neighbor threw a wine party on Saturday night. I like good wine. And I almost never drink during the year. So I went. Had a glass. Maybe more because people kept topping me off. Cookies, chicken wings, pigs in a blanket, Swedish meatballs. All of it. Sunday morning I woke up with one word in my head: incompatible. Fun? Absolutely. But completely incompatible with what I want. I know because I spent the entire day on the freaking couch doing nothing. That one word has become huge in my coaching. Not is it sustainable, but is it compatible with your life? Important Points Every single action or inaction in your life creates a result, even doing nothing changes things. You already know your bad habits and good habits, the problem is making them fit your actual life. Compatible beats sustainable as the question to ask about your habits and choices. Memorable Quotes "Is it compatible or is it incompatible with your life?" "Everything you do in your life is a result of an action or an inaction." "If you do what you'd like to do and if you do it every single day, your life is going to be happier." Scott's Three-Step Approach Make a short list of one to three good habits you know will improve your life right now. Choose one single habit from your list and do it today, then repeat it tomorrow no matter what. Layer in the other habits from your list day by day without overwhelming yourself with too much too fast.

Join us for a deep and surprisingly poignant dive into one of Chicago's most infamous cultural icons with award-winning journalist Josh Noel. As the author of "Malort: The Redemption of a Revered and Reviled Spirit," Noel unravels the complex history of the intensely bitter spirit that is both a local rite of passage and a national curiosity. He brings his signature depth as a longtime Chicago Tribune reporter to explore how a drink known for its challenging taste forged an unbreakable bond with a city's identity. This conversation goes beyond the memes and dare shots to examine Malort's Swedish roots, its tumultuous American journey, and its unlikely modern resurgence as a symbol of pride. Noel argues that this spirit's story is a profound reflection on taste, tradition, and what it means to belong. Listen in for a fascinating case study on how the most reviled drink in the bar became so deeply revered.

A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on December 15th 2025. You can hear more reports on our homepage www.radiosweden.se, or in the app Sveriges Radio. Presenter/producer: Kris Boswell.

In this episode of the Nomad Futurist Podcast, co-hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence are joined by Lovisa Tedestedt, Strategic Account Executive for Cloud & Service Providers at Schneider Electric. Lovisa shares her unique journey from studying economics in Sweden to building a career that spans textiles, entrepreneurship, and leading complex technology accounts globally. Lovisa opens up about the importance of following your passions while embracing unexpected career pivots. She reflects on how her early experiences — studying textiles, interning at APC, and later moving to China — shaped her approach to business and leadership: "Very rarely in life do we get a chance to press the stop button or pause button and rediscover what we want to do in life." Her story highlights the value of cross-industry learning. Lovisa explains how the skills she developed running her own small fashion business translated seamlessly into managing large-scale accounts in the tech sector: "The way I approached the job was the same way I approached growing a small fashion company. It's all about scaling, it's all about resources, it's about understanding the customer, understanding the business." Lovisa also emphasizes the need for purpose and continuous learning. After years in corporate leadership, she recently returned to school to deepen her technical knowledge in data center systems, enhancing her ability to authentically connect with customers: "If I could deepen my knowledge of everything I talk about every day with customers, that would give me purpose, that would kind of give me a sense of achievement." Finally, Lovisa offers practical advice for young people entering the workforce, urging them to consider trades and technical fields as viable and lucrative career paths. She stresses the combination of skill, opportunity, and entrepreneurship in shaping meaningful, high-impact careers. This episode is a fascinating exploration of adaptability, lifelong learning, and bridging diverse experiences to create professional success.

unique experience for his blog.Sv: Men något oväntat skulle snart ändra hans planer.En: But something unexpected would soon change his plans.Sv: Det började med att Lars kände en stickande känsla i halsen.En: It began with Lars feeling a stinging sensation in his throat.Sv: Han suckade tungt och försökte skaka av sig oron, men Elin, med sina oroliga ögon, märkte direkt att något var fel.En: He

telefon.En: He ran through the hotel, looking for a phone.Sv: Förutom den kalla kylan, kände han nu vikten av ansvaret att rädda sin vän.En: Apart from the cold chill, he now felt the weight of the responsibility to save his friend.Sv: Han lyckades till slut hitta en anställd som kunde hjälpa dem att kontakta den närliggande byn för medicinsk hjälp.En: He eventually managed to find an employee who could help them contact the nearby village for medical help.Sv: Spänningen i luften lämnade ingen oberörd.En: The tension in the air left no one untouched.Sv: Tiden verkade sakta in, men tillslut

skönhet.En: Inspired by this insight, he wrote a heartfelt blog post about the importance of friendship and trust, far more than about the hotel's icy beauty.Sv: Denna jul blev ett minne för livet,

need to show himself as brave and skilled like Nils.Sv: Men visst, han vågade knappt erkänna för sig själv att han var mer redo för nybörjarbackarna.En: But surely, he barely dared to admit to himself that he was more ready for the beginner slopes.Sv: Bussen stannade vid stugorna där eleverna skulle bo.En: The bus stopped at the cabins where the students would stay.Sv: Karl och Anna tog emot dem med varma leenden, båda lärare och ansvariga för resan.En: Karl and Anna welcomed them with warm smiles, both teachers responsible for the trip.Sv: Snart stod alla i sina snökläder, redo att ge sig

about you, Lars?Sv: Ska du med?"En: Are you coming?"Sv: Lars tog ett djupt andetag.En: Lars took a deep breath.Sv: "Visst, jag hänger på," svarade han, hoppades att hans osäkerhet inte syntes.En: "Sure, I'll join," he replied, hoping his insecurity didn't show.Sv: De började åka ner för den svåraste backen.En: They started down the most challenging slope.Sv: Snön piskade i ansiktet och vinden hulkade runt dem.En: The snow whipped at their faces and the wind howled around them.Sv: Plötsligt sänkte sig en snöstorm över dem, vilket gjorde sikten dålig.En: Suddenly, a snowstorm descended upon them, making visibility poor.Sv: Emma ropade, "Lars, är du okej?"En: Emma shouted, "Lars, are you okay?"Sv: Handvid knät, Lars lutade sig framåt och kämpade med balansen på det svåra underlaget.En: Hand to his knee, Lars leaned forward, struggling with his balance on the difficult surface.Sv: "Ja, det är bara lite svårt att se," ljög han.En: "Yeah, it's just a bit hard to see," he lied.Sv: Plötsligt, ett ögonblick av panik.En: Suddenly, a moment of panic.Sv: Emma förlorade balansen och stupade framåt i snön.En: Emma lost her balance and tumbled forward into the snow.Sv: Lars reagerade instinktivt, stannade och hjälpte henne upp.En: Lars reacted instinctively, stopped, and helped her up.Sv: "Tack, Lars," sa hon och såg på honom med tacksamhet.En: "Thanks, Lars," she said, looking at him with gratitude.Sv: Stormen gjorde backen ännu mer förrädiskt.En: The storm made the slope even more treacherous.Sv: Men trots sina egna rädslor ledde Lars dem sakta och metodiskt neråt, var mer uppmärksam på alla detaljer längs vägen.En: But despite his own fears, Lars led them slowly and methodically downward, more attentive to every detail along the way.Sv: Efter vad som kändes som en evighet nådde de äntligen platsen där de andra eleverna samlats, säkert men avkylda.En: After what felt like an eternity, they finally reached the spot where the other students had gathered, safe but chilled.Sv: Nils kom rusande mot dem med en blick av lättnad.En: Nils came rushing toward them with a look of relief.Sv: "Jag var orolig att ni råkat illa ut.En: "I was worried you might have gotten into trouble.Sv: Bra jobbat, Lars!"En: Good job, Lars!"Sv: Med en nyfunnen säkerhet i sig själv log Lars tillbaka.En: With newfound confidence in himself, Lars smiled back.Sv: "Tack, vi klarade det tillsammans."En: "Thanks, we made it together."Sv: När kvällen sänkte sig satt Lars och Emma tillsammans inomhus, blickande ut mot snöflingorna som föll tyst.En: As evening fell, Lars and Emma sat together indoors, gazing out at the snowflakes falling silently.Sv: Det var ingen återstå för att imponera, ingen grund för bekymmer kvar.En: There was no need left to impress, no basis for worry remaining.Sv: Lars hade bevisat för sig själv det som verkligen betydde något.En: Lars had proven to himself what really mattered.Sv: Emma såg på honom och log.En: Emma looked at him and smiled.Sv: "Du är modig, Lars," sa hon med värme.En: "You're brave, Lars," she said warmly.Sv: Där och då, i det rofyllda vintermörkret, förstod Lars att detta var början på en vänskap och att han inte behövde vara något annat än sig själv.En: There and then, in the tranquil winter darkness, Lars understood that this was the beginning of a friendship and that he didn't need to be anything other than himself.

If you weren't already feeling confident about 2026, I've got two reasons you should. At least two major retail banks see signs of an economic recovery and we have a new Reserve Bank Governor. No pressure on Anna Breman, but she hasn't arrived a day too soon given that the old lot were still managing to stuff things up until literally the last chance they had, with Christian Hawkesby saying the wrong thing and sending wholesale market rates, and therefore fixed term interest rates, up by 30 basis points. To be fair to him, he was only the fill in. And if we're honest with ourselves it's more hope than certainty that the Swedish import will be any better than Hawkesby or Adrian Orr. But then again you could argue it really would be hard to be worse given the last four years. But we're here for the good news. The good news is that Anna Breman arriving as the new broom coincides with ASB, and now Kiwibank, all saying it's on. They're seeing signs of a recovery for 2026. Kiwibank's call arguably matters more than the others because they've been the gloomiest. They were calling for more rate cuts than the Reserve Bank was prepared for. They were warning it was more grim out there than the Wellington bankers realised. They were right. So here's hoping they are right again when they say sales are already up, and when sales go up, everything else follows. House prices are up 2-3% next year. The economy is growing 2.4% and then it's 3% the next year. I don't know about you but that combo - a new person in charge of the central bank and growing consensus that the recovery is now on - is probably the best Christmas present i could wish for.

Princess Sofia's newly exposed ties to Jeffrey Epstein have triggered heavy criticism because the palace's explanation leans heavily on distance and hindsight rather than accountability. While the Royal Court insists she merely “met” Epstein a few times in the mid-2000s, leaked emails paint a picture of someone orbiting his social world far more closely than the sanitized palace version suggests. She didn't just bump into him — she was introduced, socialized, exchanged emails, and was even invited to his private island. The palace's claim that she “declined” the trip reads more like damage control than moral clarity, especially given how many young women in that era were drawn into his orbit under similarly innocuous pretenses. Critics argue that Sofia benefited from the glamorous social connections Epstein helped facilitate while now relying on the defense that “no one knew” who he really was.The timing has also raised eyebrows. Her sudden withdrawal from the Nobel Prize ceremony — a major royal showcase she has consistently attended — didn't go unnoticed, and it fueled suspicion that the royal family is scrambling to contain fallout rather than confront it. The broader criticism is that the Swedish monarchy is handling Sofia's Epstein ties with the same evasive tone we've seen from other powerful institutions: acknowledging the bare minimum while declining to explain why she maintained contact long enough for invitations, introductions, and social overlap with a man who already had a reputation — even then — for inappropriate behavior around young women. The palace's framing tries to minimize the connection, but in doing so, it underscores the same elitism and selective amnesia that let Epstein operate untouched for decades.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Royal princess curiously vanishes amid shock Epstein revelations after the ex-lingerie model was invited to Paedo Island

Time today for some seasonal music, but, of course, with a twist. Sofia Talvik has joined us twice before, and with the release of her 2nd compilation of her annual Christmas songs, songs which Sofia has written to explore the wider experience of Christmas, including the distressing and challenging sides of the holiday, we again reached out across the sea to her, to Berlin, Germany, where this Swedish-born folk artist sometimes lives when she's not touring the USA or living in her other home in Spain.

Transcript:Sv: Skansen låg insvept i vinterskrud.En: Skansen lay wrapped in winter attire.Sv: Snön gnistrade under juletidens ljus och röken från de öppna eldarna steg upp mot den stjärnklara natthimlen.En: The snow sparkled under the holiday lights, and the smoke from the open fires rose toward the starry night sky.Sv: Doften av brända mandlar och glögg fyllde luften, och människorna strosade mellan marknadsstånd fulla med handgjorda vackra skapelser.En: The scent of roasted almonds and glögg filled the air, and people strolled between market stalls full of beautiful handmade creations.Sv: Linnea promenerade med Erik och Astrid.En: Linnea walked with Erik and Astrid.Sv: Linnea älskade historien som Skansen berättade genom sina gamla hus och traditioner.En: Linnea loved the

refused to believe it.Sv: Hon kände Astrid för väl.En: She knew Astrid too well.Sv: Medan man samlade säkerhetsteamet bestämde Linnea sig för att börja leta själv.En: While the security team was gathering, Linnea decided to start searching on her own.Sv: Hon följde en känsla, styrd mer av intuition än av logik, genom de gamla byggnaderna.En: Guided more by intuition than logic, she followed a

tillbaka, och för första gången på hela dagen log Erik.En: Linnea took it back, and for the first time all day, Erik smiled.Sv: "Du gjorde det, trots allt."En: "You did it, after all."Sv: Återförenade

återigen, och julstämningen återvände till Skansen, med Astrid försäkrad om sitt goda namn.En: People gathered again, and the Christmas spirit returned to Skansen, with Astrid assured of her good name.Sv: När de gick tillbaka under de gnistrande julstjärnorna, kände Linnea sig annorlunda.En: As they walked back under the sparkling Christmas stars, Linnea felt different.Sv: Hon hade inte bara löst ett mysterium—hon hade också bevisat för sig själv vad hon kunde åstadkomma.En: She had not only solved a mystery—she had also proven to herself what she could accomplish.Sv: Erik smålog och sa: "Kanske finns det något i historia, trots allt."En: Erik smiled slightly and said, "Maybe there's something to history, after all."Sv: Linnea log tillbaka.En: Linnea smiled back.Sv: De båda, nu i samförstånd, promenerade över den snötäckta marken, fyllda av julens mirakel och glädje.En: The two of them, now in agreement, strolled across the snow-covered ground, filled with the miracle and joy

Princess Sofia's newly exposed ties to Jeffrey Epstein have triggered heavy criticism because the palace's explanation leans heavily on distance and hindsight rather than accountability. While the Royal Court insists she merely “met” Epstein a few times in the mid-2000s, leaked emails paint a picture of someone orbiting his social world far more closely than the sanitized palace version suggests. She didn't just bump into him — she was introduced, socialized, exchanged emails, and was even invited to his private island. The palace's claim that she “declined” the trip reads more like damage control than moral clarity, especially given how many young women in that era were drawn into his orbit under similarly innocuous pretenses. Critics argue that Sofia benefited from the glamorous social connections Epstein helped facilitate while now relying on the defense that “no one knew” who he really was.The timing has also raised eyebrows. Her sudden withdrawal from the Nobel Prize ceremony — a major royal showcase she has consistently attended — didn't go unnoticed, and it fueled suspicion that the royal family is scrambling to contain fallout rather than confront it. The broader criticism is that the Swedish monarchy is handling Sofia's Epstein ties with the same evasive tone we've seen from other powerful institutions: acknowledging the bare minimum while declining to explain why she maintained contact long enough for invitations, introductions, and social overlap with a man who already had a reputation — even then — for inappropriate behavior around young women.

Christmas in Sweden unfolds during one of the darkest times of the year. Days are short, nights are long, and much of the country sees only a few hours of daylight in December. These conditions gave shape to many Swedish Christmas customs. Families learned to bring light into their homes through candles, soft decorations, warm food, and long held habits passed down through generations. The season begins in late November and builds slowly toward Christmas Eve. Homes decorate with star-shaped lights in windows, which brighten the early sunsets. Families place candles on tables and shelves to give the house a warm glow. Churches hold services during Advent, and towns host small events that help people enjoy the season even in the deep cold. Sweden's winter weather encourages families to gather indoors. People look forward to evenings spent together, warm drinks, quiet conversations, carols, and simple traditions that feel steady and calm. This slow build is a key part of Christmas in Sweden. Nothing feels rushed. Families enjoy each step, from Advent to Christmas Day, with a sense of rhythm shaped by the long Swedish winter.

Starting in the mid 2010's, Sweden's gang wars transformed from neighborhood disputes into a national crisis, driven by splintered immigrant-area crews who now recruit teenage hitmen willing to kill for a few thousand dollars. At the center of the chaos, the bitter feud between Shottaz and Death Patrol, two rival networks whose bombings, kidnappings, and retaliatory shootings have turned Stockholm's suburbs into warzones. The murder of chart-topping rapper Einár shocked the country, a killing that symbolized how deeply the underworld had bled into mainstream Swedish life.
