This week we start with a new international study examining everyday social norms in Sweden, including why silence in the cinema matters so much, and how these behaviours compare across countries. We then turn to a serious incident at a workers’ housing complex in northern Sweden, where an alleged attempted murder has raised concerns about safety and living conditions. After that, Swedish Radio’s political commentator explains the latest positioning among Sweden’s governing parties and their cooperation with the Sweden Democrats. Finally, we look at Lucia traditions with an anthropologist at the Nordic Museum, as Sweden enters the Christmas season.Presenters: Babak Parham & Dave Russell.
