Bringing you a short one today. To much in my schedule I'm afraid, and also an added cold coming on, making my throat sore. Pretty much nohing went the way I had planned it this episode, but it still turned out a pretty nice show! I hope you think so too.

Hi out there in wonderland. It's been a very constructive week, and I hope to be able to bring you quite interesting news in the near future!

As I publish this show I read in the papers that Iraqi officials dismiss the shootings at the swedish aircraft taking off from Iraq last week, so maybe they just saw a wishing star or something... Just thought you'd like to know.

Welcome back to a new BTS.

Sorry about the delay, but we have had major problems with our ISP. They haven't been able to deliver a stable internet connection for quite some time now.

Well, here it is at last anyway, and the list of tourist sights below, will soon be updated too, I promise!

Places we've been to and seen:
Visby
Roma Monastery Ruin
Krusmyntagården
Lumellunda Caves
Strandcaféet in Ljugarn
Clarion Hotel Wisby

Sorry about most of the links above being in swedish (I can't control the content of these external sites of course), but I hope you can navigate enough to get something out of them. Images in swedish is called "bilder" if that is what you are looking for on these sites.

Welcome to the very last show of the Polarbear Podcast before both the upcoming wedding and our 4 week vaccation! On this show I talk to you about the import of booze into sweden and how that has affected thousands of swedes. We also talk a bit about the environment and at last we have a new section from Michelle! Also we check in on Marie as she finalizes the plans for the wedding - she's a bit stressed out...

I hope you all have a great summer and I will talk to you again, when it's time for the next Polarbear Podcast sometime in the beginning of august!

Show number 100 is here - released a few days earlier so you won't have to wait for it - marking a milestone in the Polarbear Podcasts history! It focuses a lot around PodCamp Europe, but also on other things, such as why Sweden is different in the summer compared to the winter and why dark beer is so hard to find at swedish restaurants.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who made PodCamp Europe possible and say hi to all my new friends, so here it is:

It's warm. REALLY warm! As I write this I read 34°C on the thermometer, which translates into 93°F. And the time is right now half past six in the evening. OMG! This is incredible. I will go out for my last and final walk in the International Walk-Off pretty soon and considering the temperature I will probably loose about 10 kilos...only today.

So we're off on week #6.
My back is feeling better again, so I'm hoping on getting off every day this week to walk. If I manage to beat Big Chowder? I don't know. But I'll be shedding weight never the less.

Mon: 3,9 km

So we're off on week #5 . I managed to win last week, but it was pretty much on walkover since BC had been bnusy doing other stuff. And this week I've been challenged with the weather. It's been raining like crazy so there hasn't been much walking going on. And I've experienced an increasing pain in my lower back, that didn't go away until Saturday. Odd!!!

Mon: 3,2 km
Tue: 3,9 km (Rain)
Wed: No walking! Rain
Thu: No walking! Rain
Fri: No walking! Rain

So we're starting off week #4 now after having taken 2 weeks off from walking and letting my shins repair themselves. Mission accomplished! But I'm off to a slow start, cause I don������¤t want to injure myself again!

Mon: 3,7 km

Worse than previous weeks, I know, but I've been taking it a bit easy as not to injure myself again! It was tough though, getting back on track. I don't know why. It feels as if I have lead in my feet, and my back... it's killing me! Well, there you have it anyway.

But the fun thing is that I WON!!!!!!!!!!

Please, take some time and write a review of the Polarbear Podcast in iTunes Store. Send me an email about it when you're done and you can become the lucky owner of a mini badge from the show.

For the 3rd time in the history of the show, I am sorry to have to inform you that the Polarbear Podcast will be a bit late. All this due to reasons totally beyond my control (often meaning vulcanos, hurricanes and earth quakes but here; lack of time).

I will try to have a show out there for you by wednesday lunch (swedish time). It's all in the process, but just not finalized yet, and I can't record when my kids are sleeping in the next room. Such is life!

And d**n those PTA-meetings stealing time from my podcasting...!

Welcome back to what might be the last BTS ever!
I managed to get Marie into the studio last week where I pinned her down for 40 minutes, which was enough time to make a show. It turned out so good that she now says that she just might be back again...!
Why don't you send her an email and beg - it could help. :-)

Just wanted to let you guys know that I will be a few days late perhaps with this weeks show. You know that I'm very picky about releasing the shows every tuesday morning, so this hurts me a bit.

The reason for this is my daughter, who was supposed to go and stay with her mom now for two weeks today, giving me the entire evening off to do the show, but then decided she had a little too many daddy-hugs left so she wanted to stay for one more evening. Said and done! Didn't take to much pursuasion. If you'd ever seen her you would understand why I just can't say no to her on a request like that.

I hope you can respect my descision to pospone the show one or days because of this. A new show will be out as soon as I can record it!

In he meantime, check out the "dark side" of the Polarbear Podcast, at Andy's Playground.

Keep it real.

Welcome back to the first show of 2007!

I have decided to shorten the shownotes, since I guess you prefer listening to the show compared to reading this. For the remains of 2007 there will only be vital information here in the shownotes!

For the very first time...
...and maybe last, I don't know, I've decided to deliver a show in video format. It's my very first time working with iMovie, so it's very much a trial for the future, but I found it pretty easy to work with even if video is a completely different cup of tea all together, compared with audio. But it's fun to go over the edge once in a while, and what could be a better time than today - New Years Eve!


Happy New Year!!!

From all of us, to all of you...
A Very Merry Christmas!

Welcome to the very last show of 2006. Today we talk a little bit about how christmas is celebrated in Sweden. I can't tell of every single tradition of course, but we get past quite a few of them.

I also get some surprise greetings!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas (or whatever holiday you are celebrating this time of year) and a Happy New Year, and hope to talk to you soon again, at the start of 2007.


Music on the show:
Beatrice Ericsson, Christmas without you
Jay Goeppner, A soldiers Christmas
Podsafe for peace, If every day were Christmas

Space Balls!
I can't help it but get carried away by the ongoing space trip. Up there somewhere in the orbit of earth, there is a little space station called ISS, and it is pretty small you know if you compare it to our planet. And on that ship there is an even smaller dude, from Bromma outside of Stockholm called Christer Fuglesang, looking down on us all, every time he peaks out of a window or takes a walk (aka EVA). It's amazing!

I can't help thinking of the lyrics to the David Bowie song Space Oddity from back in 1969:


So it's a lot of talk about space travel today, but we get into other things too.

Snapshot of Sweden:
We visit the city of Uppsala and take a tour of the big Cathedral. For more information, try looking it up on www.visitsweden.com.

5...4...3...2...1...Lift off!
Today is a great day in Swedish history, but I'll get back to why during the show, cause things happened as the show progressed and that gave it an interesting twist.

I also talk a bit about the show itself today and I hope you like the new sound!

Snapshot of Sweden:
We visit the city of roses on Gotland - the town of Visby. The best preserved medevil town in Scandinavia. For more information, try looking it up on www.visitsweden.com or check out www.gotland.info

Congratulations...ME!
Today it's my name day, and I celebrate this by uh...doing a show?! Well, never the less it still is, and the way we swedes celebrate this is very different and varies from family to family. I'll tell you a bit about all that today.
And the winter that I thought was on it's way, suddenly died out and disappeared. Odd!

Snapshot of Sweden:
We visit the mining town of Falun in the middle part of sweden (which is pretty much north if you ask most of us) and check out the old Falu Copper Mine which has been a source of national income for more than 1.000 years! Now, that's what I call history!
