On today's show, Prof. Erik J. Olsson discusses the undermining of academic excellence in Sweden. Later, Dr. Darrell Hamamoto discusses the songs of Swedish tunesmith Max Martin, the low-profile composer behind many of Taylor Swift's and other American stars' greatest hits. Indeed, it has been said that he has had more number 1s on the US charts than any songwriter except John Lennon and Paul McCartney. What is it about Swedish pop music, and how do they achieve such success? We may also discuss gangster rappers' money laundering at Spotify.
