We also take a closer look at two of the iconic Swedes named in the campaign, children's book author Astrid Lindgren and film director Ingmar Bergman.Please leave a rating or review wherever you listen to the podcast as it helps ensure that more people discover it. And don’t forget to hit the follow button (or + sign) on Apple or tap the notification bell on Spotify to ensure you get a reminder whenever we publish a new episode.We are also asking listeners to help us improve Sweden in Focus by taking this quick survey.
