In this episode, we sit down with Emily Fowler from Chef Mama in Malmö, the fearless baker on a mission to bring bagels to Sweden—one chewy, golden ring at a time. But she doesn’t stop there. From snickerdoodles that could make your grandma jealous to Thin Mints that might just start a black market among expats, Chef Mama’s got it all.

We talk about the magic of a perfect bagel, why Sweden needs more choices, and whether Mikael can be converted from his lagom ways to fully embracing American-style bagel indulgence. Grab a snack (preferably a bagel) and join us for a deliciously fun conversation!

Welcome back to Take Your Shoes Off, the podcast where we kick back, relax, and occasionally wonder why we ever left the warmth of home. Today, we’re diving into sportlov—Sweden’s beloved ski holiday—and who better to join us than an Irishman who talks faster than a downhill slalom?

Our guest is Phil O'Connor a sports reporter, author, podcaster and someone who could probably narrate an entire Olympic ski race before the first turn. We’ll be chatting about winter sports, ski vacations, and whether the Irish approach après-ski with the same enthusiasm as a pub crawl back home.

So grab a warm drink, buckle up—because this conversation moves at high speed—and let’s hit the slopes!

"När allt står på spel" and "Utan offer, ingen seger" are two books written by Philip O'Conner and Haidar Hajdari. They can be found anywhere you buy or borrow books in Sweden!

What do basketball, Swedish dolphins, and the perfect balance of lagom have in common? Honestly, we're still figuring it out. This week, we sit down with professional basketball player Marcus Tyus and his wife, Maggie, to talk hoops, family life, and why Sweden may or may not have the best basketball development program. Plus, a little Magic Johnson, a dash of life advice, and the eternal struggle of finding 'just the right amount' of everything. Tune in for the fun, stay for the surprises - and check out our guests on Instagram @tyus.together

Come on in, but please - take your shoes off!
