Swedish Meatballs. Lo mejor de la música sueca a tu alcance. Con Juanito Pereira & Erasmo Neumann.

In this episode of the Honeypot podcast, Alexander and Fredrik use the analogy of a Swedish Christmas buffet (julbord) to illustrate how to approach innovation and continuous improvement effectively. They emphasize the importance of: Not spreading yourself too thin: Just like you shouldn't overload your plate at a buffet, organizations shouldn't try to tackle too many initiatives simultaneously. Strategic experimentation: Start with a strong foundation (the "potato") and experiment with new ideas ("herring") in a structured way. Context is key: Don't mix incompatible initiatives ("herring" and "Janssons frestelse"). Evaluate new ideas within the context of your organization's goals and values. Finding your criteria: Establish clear criteria to help you decide which initiatives to pursue and which to discard. Tune in to learn how to avoid a Christmas buffet catastrophe and achieve success with your innovation efforts!

maskineri.En: The assembly starts smoothly, like a well-oiled machine.Sv: Men snart ignoreras instruktionstermer som 'skruva A i B ihop med C' och de vinner övervikt av felplacerade skruvar och

apartment, realized their limitation.Sv: Men de insåg även att det inte var stolen, utan deras samarbete och ömsesidiga skratt som gjorde kvällen oförglömlig.En: But they also realized that it wasn't

på stolen, påminde om vinternatten de tillbringat tillsammans.En: In the warmth of the summer light, they looked at the chair, reminded of the winter night they had spent together.Sv: De insåg att det

Chris Addison has built his career on laughter, as a stand-up comedian, a panellist on shows such as Mock the Week, and as an actor and director. You perhaps saw him as Ollie, the hapless junior Whitehall adviser in The Thick of It, the political satire created by Armando Iannucci. He's worked as a director on another highly-acclaimed comedy in the corridors of power: the Emmy Award-winning Veep, set in and around the White House. He has also co-created and directed Breeders, a brutally honest sitcom about parenthood, starring Martin Freeman. Chris has also performed in opera on the stage at Covent Garden – though in a speaking role. He is an opera fan, so his musical choices include Mozart and Rossini but also folk music by Eliza Carthy and a Swedish Christmas song.

Linus Karp devoted the last year of his life to educating the world on how to be "jellicle" based on the Andrew Lloyd Weber movie "Cats" starring James Cordon. Now he's educating us on all things Sweden - from the traditional Swedish Christmas, the 6-week "Melodifestivalen" Eurovision contest in Sweden and the true meaning of Gratrunk. The wonderful Linus talks to Paul Reza Afshar on his mum's upbringing by a Conservative Swedish priest who kicked her out of home aged 18 and her transformation into a "Twitter gay". Mums, melodies and Princess Diana in this episode of My Mum Made Me.

On today's Apple Seed Extra, an old Swedish Christmas story about an old man, a bunch of wild goblins, and a "cat" (emphasis on the quotation marks).

Jay and Zee with Jerry Nordun take a look at three countries and how they celebrate Christmas. Japan is very interesting. Rather than gathering around the table for a turkey dinner, families head out to their local Kentucky Fried Chicken. The tradition began in 1974 after a wildly successful marketing campaign called "Kurisumasuniwakentakkii!" or "Kentucky for Christmas!" One to the Philippines where the city of San Fernando holds LigliganParul (or Giant Lantern Festival) featuring dazzling parols (lanterns) that symbolize the Star of Bethlehem. Each parol consists of thousands of spinning lights that illuminate the night sky. The festival has made San Fernando the "Christmas Capital of the Philippines."Finally to Sweden where The Yule Goat has been a Swedish Christmas symbol dating back to ancient pagan festivals. However, in 1966, the tradition got a whole new life after someone came up with the idea to make a giant straw goat, now referred to as the Gävle Goat.

Pay us a visit tomorrow for more snacks!

I dag er Per, Henrik og Olle tilbake igjen. Denne gangen snakker de tre om forskjellene på norsk og svensk jul. Det viser seg at den eneste forskjellen er maten. Kom en tur innom i morgen for å få litt vann i munnen!-----------Today Per, Henrik, and Olle are back. This time, the three talk about the differences between the Norwegian and Swedish Christmas. It turns out that the only difference is food. Come by tomorrow to get some water in your mouth!

Christmas celebrations in Sweden and its traditions. What are we celebrating during Christmas? Edward and Linh are sharing their insights on Swedish Christmas in the 21th century.

America's Bureaucratic Dictatorship. Approaching High Noon. We say it's time for The Big Declassification -- time for The Showdown. Come what may. Unelected "Six Ways From Sunday" crowd strangling the Executive Branch. The AP reporting that "almost every part of Trump's life is under investigation." We chronicle Team Mueller's abuse of patriot General Michael Flynn, a genuine American hero. Joe diGenova says Flynn "did not lie." Devin Nunes says Flynn just ran "out of money" against the Mueller onslaught. Also, they threatened Flynn's son. There's how they play ball in the Swamp. But why won't Mueller cough up the original FBI 302's of Strzok & Pientka's interview with Flynn? Where Are The 302's?? Has Judge Sullivan finally had enough? The sentencing comes soon. Meanwhile, in spite of it all, Trump's approvals holding strong and even rising in the polls, thereby raising the MSM "exasperation index" to crisis levels. Plus, Drudge christens Michael "The Rat" Cohen. Prague now stricken from The Narrative. Absurd Western Elites still looking to blame Russia for their own incompetence. OMB Chairman Mick Mulvaney becomes Trump's new Chief of Staff. Afterthoughts on the downfall of The Weekly Standard. Plus, family vignettes on a Swedish Christmas. The Sankta Lucia. Wrestling and Chess. Notes on singer Michael Buble's son's battle with cancer. Fathers And Sons. With Listener Calls & Music via the Pretenders, Anna Naklab, Parry Gripp, Erasure, Michael Buble, Bing Crosby, Ben Mazue, Pomme and the Elever Fran Adolf Fredriks Musikskola. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should our corrupt Deep Staters go to jail? We sample the commentary of many who think so, including Newt Gingrich, Lou Dobbs and Judge Jeanine Pirro. Former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom says the FBI's Peter Strzok "belongs in Leavenworth." Columnist Charles Hurt describes the "most sinister and corrupt Deep State anyone could ever have imagined." Tom Fitton, of Judicial Watch, compares today's FBI to the KGB. Responding to such sentiments, CNN's Jake Tapper excoriates such "incredibly extremist rhetoric" and strains to defend Mueller & Strzok against recent revelations. For good measure, CNN propagandist Brian Stelter piles on with trademark tut-tutting. Meanwhile, presidential advisor Kellyanne Conway describes the FBI's "insurance policy" as evidence of how "the fix was in" against Trump from the beginning. Plus, we commemorate the 244th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party and offer our vignettes on this week's Swedish Christmas celebration at IKEA. With Listener Calls & Music via the Standells, the Stone Temple Pilots, Dwight Yoakam and Erasure. Also, the Swedish "Sankta Lucia" of Elever Fran Adolf Fredriks Musikskola. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What follows next is a very interesting character study. Join Amy, Matt and Steve for a discussion on the themes, the gore, the music and where our sympathies should lie.
