Film: Let the Right One In (Låt den rätte komma in), 2008, dir. Tomas Alfredson — the original Swedish version, not the American remake Oscar as the kid who fell through every crack in the social safety net — absent parents, unchecked bullying, zero adult intervention The film's place in the Nordic noir tradition alongside The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo — horror as a lens on the failures of Scandinavian social democracy Eli as an ageless predator disguised as a child — the anti-romantic vampire, feeding scenes played as animal attacks rather than seduction The castration subplot: the book, the brief film moment, and how it connects to the history of the castrati and the "monstrous trans" trope in horror (Silence of the Lambs, Sleepaway Camp) That pool scene — one of the top 10 horror scenes ever committed to film, don't @ us The grooming debate: Is the ending a love story or a tragedy on repeat? (Spoiler: it's the second one) Top 3 vampire films: Let the Right One In, Coppola's Dracula, The Lost Boys (According to Johnathon) What We've Been Watching: 28 Years Later, Abraham's Boys, The Thing, The Abominable Snowman, The Shining, Together Coming Soon: Scream 7, Undertone (A24) Next Month: True Detective Season 1 with the Baldwin Boys!

Hi Sleepy.Tonight I welcome the new UK listeners with slightly nervous hands (if your'e a new listener from the UK, please reach out and say hello), and a very Swedish accent. I explain what this is. Or try to. An improvised hour. No preparation. English as a second language. Me wandering off and sometimes coming back.We talk about dreams and why they are considered boring, about childhood clichés and why some are noble while others are embarrassing. I question words. I question “dude.” I question kings. I question myself as an instrument.There's a field in the 70s with a long-haired violinist playing to a baby. There's Dalarna, folk music, menuets, and the regret of throwing a violin away at fifteen. There's the idea that maybe I am already playing something. The Henrik Lute. An instrument made of breath, memory and unfinished thoughts.We drift through farm animals, a librarian father, a night-working mother sleeping in the basement, and a lost Yoda melting into the grass of a Swedish lawn forty years ago. We break thought-constructs on purpose. We ask, “Are you asleep?” just to see what happens.This is not hypnosis. It's a journey to sleep through association, imagination and the quiet courage of not preparing. If you're new here, welcome. If you're old here, thank you for staying. Either way, you can fall asleep, drift off to sleep, or just rest in the mishmash.It is what it is. What happens, happens. And right now, there's nothing we can do about it.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/Henrikstahl Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Free League is bringing back the iconic world of Trudvang as a standalone tabletop roleplaying game, *Dragonbane: Trudvang*, which is fully compatible with their current, award-winning edition of *Dragonbane*. The setting, rooted in Nordic mythology, features shadowed woods, dreadful beasts, and endless mystery. The core rulebook will adapt and expand the *Dragonbane* ruleset for the *Trudvang* setting, including new kin, professions, heroic abilities, and unique magic for vitner weavers and dimwalkers. The Kickstarter campaign offers four hardback volumes in Swedish and English, with early access Beta PDFs a few months after the campaign concludes. Modiphius and Humble Bundle have released a massive Fallout Tabletop Mega Bundle, which includes content for both the *Fallout Tabletop RPG* and the *Fallout: Wasteland Warfare* miniatures skirmish game. The bundle offers over $1k worth of items for $25, with a significant draw being the STL files for miniatures, allowing 3D printing enthusiasts to create various terrain pieces, iconic Bobbleheads, cars, and other items from the Wasteland. Even without a 3D printer, the bundle provides a robust selection of PDF rulebooks, including the RPG Core Rulebook, Settler’s and Wanderer’s Guides, NPC packs, the *Winter of Atom* campaign, and *Wasteland Warfare* expansions like *Liberty Prime*. A portion of the proceeds from the bundle, which has already raised over $14k, supports the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). MyMiniFactory announced its acquisition of Thingiverse, the world’s oldest and largest 3D printing community, adding it to its family alongside YouMagine. MyMiniFactory’s decade-long focus has been on building a sustainable platform for creators, having paid out over $100 million to designers. The acquisition aims to support the underserved Thingiverse community by providing creators with the necessary tools, support, and business models. As part of MyMiniFactory’s 2025 “SoulCrafted initiative” to protect human creativity from AI-generated content, Thingiverse will now adopt a zero-tolerance stance on AI-generated designs. The platforms will remain independent, and the open sharing culture, including existing free models, will be preserved. Mantic Games has announced they will be publishing a new *Ghost in the Shell* Tabletop Roleplaying Game in 2026. This new RPG is based solely on the original manga by Shirow Masamune. It features a bespoke design by Alessio Cavatore and Zak Barouh, combining fast-paced, narrative-driven mechanics with the philosophical depth of the source material. The game is set in a near-future world of cybernetics and political intrigue, where players design their own trainee agents in Section 9 and features rules for combat and hacking, a rich armoury of gear, and the first mission, *Lost Patriot*. This is the second *Ghost in the Shell* TTRPG due in the same year, following the crowd-funded *Ghost in the Shell Arise TTRPG* by Mana Project Studio, which is based on the anime. #trudvang #fallout #myminifactory #mantic #gits Dragonbane Trudvang: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1192053011/dragonbane-trudvang-the-legend-returns Fallout MEGA Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/L0aArV Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support us by Shopping at Miniature Market (afilliate link): https://miniature-market.sjv.io/K0yj7n Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/​​ Jeremy's Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/​​ http://www.rcharvey.com ​​Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip​ Donate or give us a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

There's a long-held idea that autism is more prevalent in boys than girls—the CDC says it's three times as common. But a growing body of research suggests the reality is more complicated. In a new study, researchers tracked autism diagnoses in millions of Swedish people born from 1985 to 2022. They found that the prevalence of autism is actually pretty even across the sexes, but people with “female” stamped on their birth certificate are often diagnosed later in life.  Host Flora Lichtman speaks with epidemiologist Caroline Fyfe about what this study teaches us about the prevalence of autism. Then, psychology researcher Rachel Moseley, an autistic woman herself, shares how late and missed diagnoses can affect autistic people. Guests: Dr. Caroline Fyfe is an epidemiologist at the University of Edinburgh who studied sex differences in autism diagnoses.  Dr. Rachel Moseley is a researcher in psychology at Bournemouth University in the UK, studying the experiences of autistic adults.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

In this episode of Quick Book Reviews, Philippa is joined by bestselling author Will Dean to discuss his haunting psychological thriller Adrift — a novel that explores control, isolation, and the quiet terror of living with someone who manipulates from the shadows.Will talks candidly about his off-grid life in the Swedish woods, why he writes his first drafts in intense six-week bursts, and how emotional stories like Adrift can take years to fully realise.Together, they discuss:Writing while living off grid and why isolation fuels creativityWhy Will avoids the publishing “noise” and trendsHow Adrift took five years to complete, despite a fast first draftWriting claustrophobic tension without exhausting the readerThe psychology of control, gaslighting, and quiet manipulationWriting from a child's point of view and the emotional toll it takesWhy Will leaves much of the violence off the pageThe fear and excitement of starting a new novelHow rereading favourite books shapes his writingThe current reading crisis and why encouraging children to read matters more than everWill also shares what he's currently reading, why he rereads authors like Shirley Jackson and Sarah Waters, and answers the most important question of all: what powered the writing of Adrift (spoiler: frozen dates, not biscuits).A thoughtful, intense, and revealing conversation about storytelling, fear, and the importance of noticing unheard people in unseen places.Follow Quick Book Reviews for book recommendations, author interviews, and weekly podcast episodes.

In 1846, a beloved Swedish sailor named Redburn was convicted of murder and sentenced to hang. But after some time, the public began to question whether justice was truly being served. Was Redburn a cold-blooded killer… or a man who made a terrible mistake?

Jon Henriksson is a Stockholm-based double bassist and composer who has become one of the leading voices in the contemporary Scandinavian jazz scene. Born in 1996 in Gothenburg, his path to the bass started when a high school big band director gave him just two months to learn the instrument for a Christmas concert. His 2023 debut album Harmonia placed second in Orkesterjournalen's Golden Album readers' poll, and his new album Shapeshifter drops March 20th, 2026, featuring a quartet with pianist Rasmus Sørensen, drummer Jonas Bäckman, and saxophonist Karl-Martin Almqvist. In this conversation, Jon talks about discovering bird watching and nature photography during the pandemic as a counterbalance to musical life. He shares his compositional process of improvising at the piano and layering ideas on his phone, the Swedish folk high school system that's created a vibrant jazz pipeline to Stockholm, and the jam sessions he hosts twice weekly at Stompin in Old Town. Jon explains how he writes music drawing from Brazilian influences, folk, and pop alongside jazz traditions, and why he wanted Shapeshifter to give space for his favorite musicians to express their personalities. Connect with Jon on Instagram, and listen to his music on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

(Almost) the entire pod is about the Olympics this week. Sorry, not sorry. Caroline and Blake beg the question: why are winter Olympic athletes so much more unhinged than the summer ones? From a Norwegian biathlete's very public cheating confession to a gold medalist's credit card fraud conviction, we dive deep into the most wild stories from the week.

In August 2017, Swedish journalist Kim Wall boarded a homemade submarine in Copenhagen for an interview with Danish inventor Peter Madsen. She was supposed to be back in two hours. She never returned.This is the story of Kim Wall - an accomplished journalist who traveled the world telling stories about people others overlooked. It's about the investigation that followed her disappearance, the trial that exposed the truth, and how her family made sure she would be remembered not as a victim, but as the fearless reporter she was.

Lutherans are a strange denomination in American religious history and culture. For Catholics they are certainly Protestants. For Protestants they are crypto-Catholics. While they have been around since the Swedes established their short-lived colony on the Delaware River, they have typically received as much attention in the American imagination as the short-lived Swedish colony on the Delaware River. But my guest Timothy D. Grundmeier has a different point of view. He argues in his new book Lutheranism and American Culture: The Making of a Distinctive Faith that Lutheranism was a central component of nineteenth-century American religion and of the era of the Civil War. This is because Lutherans were numerous, the nation's fourth largest denomination by 1900; they were uniquely positioned in the American religious landscape; and they almost invariably expressed the opinion of the “moderate majority” in Union states outside the Northeast. And, as with every other aspect of American society, Lutheranism was reshaped by the struggle of the Civil War, and Reconstruction.Timothy D. Grundmeier is professor of history at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota. Lutheranism and American Culture is his first book.Chapters00:00:00 - Introduction 00:02:60 - What is Lutheranism? 00:06:21 - The Civil War Era Defined 00:09:01 - Three Varieties of American Lutheranism 00:19:44 - The Old Lutherans and Missouri Synod 00:27:38 - How the Civil War Fractured Lutheranism 00:39:36 - The Slavery Debate: Walter and the Norwegians 00:47:20 - Lutheran Quietism After the Civil War 00:52:38 - The Great Lutheran Realignment 01:02:35 - Ideas, Institutions, and Cultural Context

You can find Eiren Caffal at her website eirencaffall.com or on IG @eirencaffall   We chat this week with Eiren Caffall, a Chicago writer whose memoir, The Mourner's Bestiary, sat on Carrie's shelf staring at her for a year until she finally made time to read it but she is so glad I did. In this creative nonfiction work, Eiren talks about her family's long history with a chronic illness (specifically, polycystic kidney disease (PKD)) and connects that to the health of the waterways and living creatures in Maine. It is a master work that merges scientific writing with poetic language. We also talk about her novel, All the Water in the World, which came out less than six months after The Mourner's Bestiary. It is also about water, but in a fictional dystopian setting where New York City has flooded due to the melting of the ice caps. If you enjoyed Station Eleven, you must give this novel a try.   And for our book recommendation section of the show, we are focusing on Old Dudes!!  Carrie has a soft spot in her heart for curmudgeonly and/ or cuddly elderly men, so we are giving you six ideas of books that feature crotchety (or not) male senior citizens.  We have a memoir, a children's book series, a book translated from Swedish, novels featuring LGBTQ protagonists, and literary fiction.   Books Discussed in this Episode:   1- The Mourner's Bestiary by Eiren Caffal  2- All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffal  3- Howards End by E.M.

A long, quiet, deeply unsettling journey through Year Walk, a folklore‑rooted mystery that feels part ghost story, part documentary, part “did this really happen?” Blair Witch energy. This playthrough ended up spanning almost four hours because we deep dive into and read everything - including the Journal at the end and all of its entries. I'll be thinking about this game for a long time. The folklore, the symbols, the creatures, the journal entries… everything feels like it's pointing to something older, sadder, and more human than a typical horror story. And when you reach the researcher's notes at the end, the whole narrative reframes itself in a way that's genuinely tragic, shocking, and leads you into a rabbit-hole of wonder. If you like slow, atmospheric mysteries, Scandinavian folklore, or stories that blur the line between myth and memory, I think you'll enjoy settling into this one with me.

This highly anticipated 20th installment is signature Berry, an unputdownable tale steeped in real history and locations – including a kidnapped Swedish princess, a precious medieval book with a controversial backstory, unforgettable and atmospheric locations across Stockholm and Sweden, cat-and-mouse spy games involving elite agents from the US and Russia, and so much more. When the younger sister of Sweden's King Wilhelm I is kidnapped, former Justice Department operative, Cotton Malone, is called in to quietly investigate before the public finds out. The ransom demand?  An 800-year-old book – the Codex Gigas – the largest illuminated medieval manuscript in the world that has been kept in Stockholm for nearly 400 years. Along the way it has also acquired another more mysterious moniker... The Devil's Bible. But there's a problem: to gain entrance to NATO to protect themselves from an increasingly hostile Russia, Sweden has already agreed to return the Codex Gigas to the Czech Republic to secure their holdout vote towards membership, something Russia will do anything to prevent. It's up to Cotton Malone and his associate Cassiopeia Vitt to locate the king's sister, secure the codex, thwart the Russians and most of all, diffuse what could be an explosive international situation. Trusted allies become hostile enemies, long-standing enemies suddenly shift into partners, and nothing is as it seems. In the end, Cotton and Cassiopeia come face-to-face with the unthinkable, changing both of their lives forever.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Breast cancer screening is often treated as a given. Mammograms are framed as routine, early detection as unquestionably life-saving, and following guidelines as the responsible choice. But what if the full picture is more complicated?In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with integrative oncologist and breast surgeon Dr. Jenn Simmons, author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, to explore what breast cancer screening data actually shows, where common narratives may oversimplify reality, and how statistics can sometimes be misunderstood by both patients and providers.Together, they discuss the difference between screening and diagnostic imaging, why detecting more cancers does not always mean fewer deaths, and how concepts like overdiagnosis and lead-time bias shape our interpretation of outcomes. Dr. Jenn also explains how breast cancer behaves differently from many other cancers, why progression is not always linear, and what tumor markers like ER, PR, HER2, and triple-negative really indicate.The conversation expands beyond imaging into a whole-body view of breast health, touching on inflammation, immune function, metabolic health, toxic burden, stress, and lifestyle as factors that shape cancer risk and recovery. Rather than promoting fear or urgency, this episode focuses on helping listeners understand their bodies, ask better questions, and make informed decisions with clarity.This episode is for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of breast cancer screening, feels overwhelmed by conflicting guidance, or wants to approach breast health with more nuance and less panic.About Dr. Jenn SimmonsDr. Jenn Simmons is an integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, and founder of Real Health MD. She was Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent nearly two decades leading one of the region's top breast programs before transitioning into integrative oncology.Drawing from her experience in conventional cancer care and her own health journey, Dr. Simmons now focuses on whole-body approaches to breast health, cancer prevention, and recovery, including metabolic health, inflammation, immune function, lifestyle medicine, and root-cause healing. She is the author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, a patient-centered resource designed to help women better understand their diagnosis, ask informed questions, and navigate treatment decisions with clarity rather than fear.Order the BookThe Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Jenn SimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmonsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmonsWebsite: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)00:00 Swedish trial claim and overdiagnosis framing 00:52 Why this became a part two conversation 03:25 Reframing screening narratives and medical training gaps 04:39 Why Dr. Simmons questions mammograms as a screening tool 06:06 Origins of screening programs and “invitation to screen” bias 07:12 Relative risk vs absolute numbers example (4 vs 5 per 1,000) 08:49 Overdiagnosis explained with a vivid analogy 09:50 Autopsy-study claim and the “microscopic cancer” idea 12:11 Swedish trial claim revisited: more diagnoses, same deaths 13:38 Downstream harms: callbacks, biopsies, overtreatment 15:04 Lead-time bias and survival statistics explained 16:44 Dr. Simmons' view on the founder's regret narrative 18:16 Switzerland headline clarified and what actually changed 20:10 Cautionary stories and aggressive cancers discussion 22:07 Why breast cancer does not always progress linearly 24:21 Buckets: DCIS, invasive, inflammatory, receptor types 26:15 Clinical vs subclinical disease approach 28:25 Long-term tradeoffs and “forgotten woman” after treatment 32:15 What ER PR HER2 mean biologically and system incentives 35:33 Testosterone discussion and prevention claim presented 42:15 Hormones after breast cancer and the 4-year “reintroduction” idea 44:29 Triple negative: environment, toxicity, immune system focus 49:19 What to do next: pause, exceptions, whole-body workup 52:32 Prevention and breast health approach begins 53:24 At-home tears test explanation (as discussed) 56:24 Detox basics and why sweating is emphasized 59:34 Imaging preferences for screening and what to do if limited access

Story Transcript:Sv: Vintern i Stockholm var kall och snön föll lätt över staden.En: The winter in Stockholm was cold and the snow fell lightly over the city.Sv: Inne på Vasamuseet, bland de stora trämasterna och de intrikata snidade detaljerna av det magnifika skeppet, samlades en grupp besökare för en guidad tur.En: Inside the Vasamuseet, among the great wooden masts and the intricately carved details of the magnificent ship, a group of visitors gathered for a guided tour.Sv: I gruppen stod Elin, som just nu kände sig som en skör och osäker skugga av sig själv.En: In the group stood Elin, who at the moment felt like a fragile and uncertain shadow of herself.Sv: Historian hade alltid varit hennes tillflykt, särskilt efter en smärtsam separation.En: History had always been her refuge, especially after a painful separation.Sv: Elin bestämde sig för att följa med på visningen istället för att vandra runt på egen hand.En: Elin decided to join the tour instead of wandering around on her own.Sv: Något inom henne längtade efter förändring, efter den värme och gemenskap som hon en gång känt.En: Something within her longed for change, for the warmth and community she once felt.Sv: Hon var klädd i en varm kappa och bar sina favoritvantar, ett par som hennes mormor hade stickat åt henne.En: She was dressed in a warm coat and wore her favorite mittens, a pair her grandmother had knitted for her.Sv: Inte långt därifrån stod Arvid.En: Not far away stood Arvid.Sv: Han kände sig både inspirerad och ensam i sitt arbete som ingenjör.En: He felt both inspired and lonely in his work as an engineer.Sv: Fartygskonstruktion fascinerade honom, och han sökte nya idéer till ett projekt.En: Ship construction fascinated him, and he was seeking new ideas for a project.Sv: Hans kollega Sofia, alltid optimistisk och stödjande, hade föreslagit museet som ett bra ställe att starta.En: His colleague Sofia, always optimistic and supportive, had suggested the museum as a good place to start.Sv: Guiden började berätta om skeppets historia och hur det en gång färdades på Östersjöns vatten.En: The guide began to tell the history of the ship and how it once sailed on the waters of the Baltic Sea.Sv: Elin drogs in i berättelsen, och när hon sneglade runt såg hon Arvid, som också verkade djupt försjunken i historien.En: Elin was drawn into the story, and when she glanced around, she saw Arvid, who also seemed deeply absorbed by the history.Sv: Sofia hade rätt.En: Sofia was right.Sv: Tanken på skeppet Vasa och dess tragiska öde hade inspirerat honom mer än han förväntat sig.En: The thought of the ship Vasa and its tragic fate had inspired him more than he expected.Sv: Då möttes Elins och Arvids blickar kort.En: Then Elin's and Arvid's eyes met briefly.Sv: Ett blygt leende utbyttes, och en nyfikenhet vaknade.En: A shy smile was exchanged, and a curiosity awakened.Sv: Efter en stunds tvekan, vid en särskilt detaljerad modell av skeppet, vågade Arvid närma sig Elin.En: After a moment's hesitation, by a particularly detailed model of the ship, Arvid dared to approach Elin.Sv: "Intressanta detaljer på kanonerna, eller hur?"En: "Interesting details on the cannons, don't you think?"Sv: sa han lite nervöst.En: he said a little nervously.Sv: Elin nickade.En: Elin nodded.Sv: "Ja, verkligen fascinerande.En: "Yes, really fascinating.Sv: Jag undrar vilka historier de har att berätta."En: I wonder what stories they have to tell."Sv: Deras samtal flöt naturligt, och innan de visste ordet av hade de förlorat sig i diskussionen kring de tekniska detaljerna och historiska kontexterna som omgett skeppet Vasa.En: Their conversation flowed naturally, and before they knew it, they had lost themselves in a discussion about the technical details and historical contexts surrounding the ship Vasa.Sv: Under en särskild livfull diskussion om en segelsats krockade de mot varandra av misstag, vilket resulterade i oavsiktlig skratt.En: During a particularly lively discussion about a set of sails, they accidentally bumped into each other, resulting in unintended laughter.Sv: Det förflöt ett ögonblick av magi, som brusade bort den kyliga distansen de hade känt inombords.En: A moment of magic passed, which washed away the cold distance they had felt inside.Sv: Skrattet lättade deras hjärtan, och allt verkade plötsligt möjligt.En: The laughter lightened their hearts, and suddenly everything seemed possible.Sv: Elin kände en glädje hon inte upplevt på länge.En: Elin felt a joy she hadn't experienced in a long time.Sv: Arvid blev uppmärksam på hur socialt interagerande kunde skänka energi och inspiration till hans kreativa arbete.En: Arvid became aware of how social interaction could bring energy and inspiration to his creative work.Sv: Innan de skiljdes åt för dagen, utbytte Elin och Arvid kontaktinformation.En: Before they parted for the day, Elin and Arvid exchanged contact information.Sv: De lovade att ses igen, kanske en kopp kaffe för att fortsätta diskutera sin delade passion.En: They promised to meet again, perhaps for a cup of coffee to continue discussing their shared passion.Sv: Medan de lämnade museet, kände sig båda lättare, bärandes en känsla av framtida möjligheter och kanske en ny kärlek.En: As they left the museum, both felt lighter, carrying a sense of future possibilities and perhaps a new love.Sv: Stockholms snöiga vinternatt omfamnade dem, och Vasamuseet, som nyligen hade bevittnat början på denna nya vänskap, stod stadigt kvar som ett tyst men väldefinierat vittne.En: Stockholm's snowy winter night embraced them, and the Vasamuseet, which had just witnessed the beginning of this new friendship, stood steadily as a silent but well-defined witness.

In 1999, a Swedish journalist and UFO debunker prepared for the strangest interview of his career. In an empty room, he watched as the door opened and a strikingly beautiful woman entered. She told him that she was there to reveal the truth of humanity's origins and our place in the cosmic hierarchy. The reporter had spoken with others making similarly outlandish claims but the key difference here was that the stunning woman now sitting across from him was poised, confident and anything but human.  The Cryptonaut Hotline:315-370-6853  The Cryptonaut Podcast Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cryptonautpodcast  The Cryptonaut Podcast Merch Stores:Hellorspace.com - Cryptonautmerch.com  Stay Connected with the Cryptonaut Podcast: Website - Instagram - TikTok - YouTube- Twitter - Facebook 

Anna-Carin Svensson joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they explore how Sweden's decision to punish buyers instead of victims has reshaped who feels safe coming forward — and how that same principle is now being applied to hold online exploitation accountable.Chapters(00:00) - Introduction: Sweden's Principle That Changed Everything (01:07) - The Equality Model: Why Sweden Criminalized Buyers, Not Sellers (07:37) - What 25 Years of Data Actually Shows (09:16) - When Exploitation Moves Online: Updating the Law for the Digital Age (14:37) - Why Multidisciplinary Collaboration Is Non-Negotiable (18:41) - The Gap Between Good Laws and Correct Application (25:02) - Prevention Starts Before the Warning Signs (29:51) - Hope, Humanity, and the Road Ahead Anna-Carin SvenssonAnna-Carin Svensson serves as Sweden's Ambassador to Combat Trafficking in Persons, representing Sweden in multilateral anti-trafficking efforts including at the United Nations. In this role, she has participated in high-level discussions related to the appraisal of the UN Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons, including the side event "Proactive by Design: Leveraging Multidisciplinary Collaboration and Digital Innovation to Prevent Human Trafficking."Previously, Svensson served as Director-General for International Affairs at the Swedish Ministry of Justice, where she led Swedish delegations in international human rights forums and oversaw Sweden's implementation of international legal obligations, including under the Convention against Torture. Across her career, she has consistently emphasized state responsibility, institutional accountability, cross-government coordination, and the importance of translating legislation into effective practice.Key PointsSweden's Sex Purchase Act, introduced in 1999, was a landmark legal shift that criminalized the buyer of sexual services rather than the seller, placing the state firmly on the side of the more vulnerable party in the transaction and signaling that prostitution is a harm to all of society — not just to the individual.A 2010 official evaluation of the law found measurable results: street prostitution decreased, criminal networks were deterred from establishing trafficking operations in Sweden, and public attitudes shifted significantly — evidence that law can have both a direct and a normative effect.As exploitation moved online, Sweden updated its legislation in 2025 to extend the same principle into the digital space, criminalizing the purchase of live, on-demand sexual acts performed remotely — because if something is illegal offline, it must be illegal online.Many victims who had been coerced into performing live cam shows said the new law would have made it easier for them to refuse, illustrating how legal frameworks can shift power back to the exploited person even before a crime is prosecuted.Correct application of the law matters as much as the law itself — broad training across all professions, not just specialized units, is essential so that any first responder can recognize a victim, give an appropriate initial response, and connect them to the right support.Multidisciplinary collaboration is not optional: criminal justice, social services, civil society, health professionals, schools, and international partners must all work in concert, because victims often feel safer disclosing to a social worker or nonprofit than to law enforcement, and that trust must be honored.Digital literacy and healthy relationship education must begin before exploitation happens — teaching young people to recognize manipulation, loverboy tactics, and online red flags is one of the most important prevention investments a society can make.Hope lies in the growing global community of organizations and individuals bringing creative, collaborative solutions to every aspect of this problem — and in the simple recognition that for every challenge, there are many possible answers.ResourcesEnding Human Trafficking PodcastGlobal Center for Women and Justice (GCWJ)UN Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons – 2025 AppraisalSweden's Sex Purchase Act – Swedish Gender Equality AgencySweden's 2025 Online Sexual Acts Legislation – Library of Congress SummaryTranscriptClick here to view the episode transcript.

At the 2026 Winter Olympics, both Canada's men's and women's teams have been accused by opponents and officials of “double‑touching” the stone, which is against curling rules.“Double‑touching” means a player is judged to have touched the stone again after releasing it during forward motion, or to have touched the granite after the hog line, which by rule can lead to the stone being removed from play.Canada's Marc Kennedy (men's team) was accused by Sweden of doing this, and video shared by Swedish media appears to show a double‑touch.Canada's Rachel Homan (women's team) had a stone removed after an official ruled she double‑touched; she angrily denied it, saying there was “zero‑percent chance” she did.

*** Content Warning: Self-harm ***On May 17 2008, Swedish twin sisters Ursula and Sabina Eriksson boarded a bus from Liverpool to London. After a routine road stop, the bus driver noticed the twins were acting suspiciously and were clinging tightly to their bags. Concerned, the driver refused to let Ursula and Sabina back on board. Soon after, two patrol officers were called to an incident on the M6 motorway near the English city of Stoke-on-Trent. Expecting the worst, the officers were surprised to find the Erikkson twins standing calmly and unscathed on the shoulder of the motorway. But within a few minutes, the seemingly calm situation took a frightening turn.---Casefile Archives is a series of special bonus releases revisiting the earliest years of the show.

#689: Most people think forgetting a name means their brain is failing.  Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a neurologist who taught at Johns Hopkins and Harvard, sees thousands of patients convinced they have Alzheimer's – only to discover they're dealing with poor sleep or stress. Dr. Fotuhi joins us to break down the difference between cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. He explains why chronic stress physically shrinks your hippocampus — the thumb-sized memory center in your brain — and how twelve weeks of lifestyle changes reversed cognitive decline in 84 percent of his patients. We talk about the five hidden taxes draining your brain: sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, junk food, chronic stress and mental laziness. Scrolling social media after work counts as mental laziness, even if your day job involves intense focus. Dr. Fotuhi offers a different framework: five pillars that compound over time. Exercise ranks first because it multiplies mitochondria in your brain cells, reduces inflammation and generates new neurons in your hippocampus. Walking 10,000 steps daily cuts Alzheimer's risk by 50 percent. Sleep comes second. Your brain rinses itself during deep sleep, flushing out amyloid — the core protein in Alzheimer's disease. One night of poor sleep increases amyloid in your brain. We cover nutrition (skip the junk food debate), mindset (heart rate variability breathing reduces Alzheimer's footprints) and brain training. Dr. Fotuhi memorizes 70 names in a single lecture and explains his technique for remembering credit card numbers using mental imagery. The conversation covers London taxi drivers who grew their hippocampus by memorizing 10,000 streets, why stress management beats supplements, and how Swedish students learning Arabic increased their brain volume in three months.
