This is the World of Swedish History and my name is Johan Romin.
I am a Swedish journalist and writer with a great interest in history. I have written two history books and made around 40 history documentaries for the Swedish television.
This is my Podcast, about Swedish and Nordic history. Here I will interview some of the greatest historians of Sweden as well as people who expercienced historical moments.
It will be about vikings, the Kings of Sweden, the Swedish position during the World wars, about genealogy, and every thing else from this country, which is packed with interesting history.
