Summary
We discuss the government's comments on the impact of the Middle East fuel crisis on Sweden's economy and what sky-high jet fuel prices can mean for your summer holidays. In politics, TikTok has emerged as a key platform for political communication ahead of the September election, especially among young first time voters. We ask if Sweden's political party leaders' attempts to woo young voters on Tik Tok will pay-off or are they a bit cringe! And we chat with Pelle Almqvist, frontman for the rock band, The Hives, who this week were awarded the Honorary Prize at the Swedish Music Export awards. Presented by Ulla Engberg and Dave Russell Produced by Kris Boswell.
