The neighbourhood episode

Mr Neigbour is putting up a fence and even if it is ok with me to have one there I'm a bit annoyed about him not asking us first. Especially since he's been going at us about another fence between us that we alone decided to raise a few feet last year.
Now just today, after I recorded the show I also found out what kind of fence he is putting up and now I am a bit worried. I had a nice wooden painted fence in mind but apparantly he's putting up one of those horrible steel net fences... The war isn't over quite yet!

Don't forget to participate in "My Swedish Story" by sending me an audio clip (or an email) telling me your special swedish memory! Every story played on the show will be rewarded with a little something!

What do you think about our handsome prime minister (picture)?!?!

Back to basic again!

It's good to be back - as Eminem once said , and it does feel good to be back in the regular format once again after a series of irregular ones.

Today I talk a bit about removing the old shows, repodding them, and how pollen is spelled in english.

50th anniversary show!

This show is one big trip down memory lane and it feels good to be able to celebrate the 50th show and still feel this strongly about podcasting. I really love doing this, and if only I could I would do it full-time. But right now you'll have to stay put with one show per week.

The hay fever show!

So the reason for my deep and sexy (?) voice today nothing but the effect of hay fever. My nose is itching, I'm sneazing and snorling and I hate this... But I'll put up with it and pull through thanks to modern drugs!

But the big news this week is that I have quit snuffing! Good for me, right?!

Also, the annual Go Kart Cup (picture) at work has started and this year we are 8 crazy guys aiming towards becoming the best driver of the year.

Show #50 is coming up in a week, and if anyone should want to send any kind of special e-mail or audio comment, please do so to andy@polarbearpodcast.com

The post Stockholm show!

Today I'm sitting here with one hectic week behind me. The trip to Stockholm was as adventurous as ever - NOT! It actually felt as if I were never coming home again!

But finally I did, and I was met by a dumpster parked in my driveway. What's all this about? Well I'll tell you the ending of this story and a few others on the show today.
