In this first episode of the newly formed podcast format, Emma and Sanjay discuss the new setup for the podcast. Over the course of the year, Emma and Sanjay will travel to different parts of Sweden to see how different types of people find communities and home in their neighbourhoods in Sweden. In this episode, Emma focuses on the neighbourhoods of Mariatorget, Hornstull and Sofia on the island of Södermalm in Stockholm. Though this episode has run into a few technical difficulties, hopefully it will give you a flavour of how different types of people come and study, live and settle in Sweden.
