Take Your Shoes Off, the Podcast

De: Bob Becker Mikael Byhlin Kelly Swaine
  • Resumen

  • Take Your Shoes Off is a podcast exploring the experiences of expats living and thriving - or at the very least getting by - in Sweden. Americans Bob and Kelly and Swedish Micke engage in meaningless banter while discussing the challenges and joys of starting anew in Sweden. Each week, they invite guests to share their unique stories, navigating cultural differences, personal growth, and the question of whether they’ll stay in their new home. Tune in for insightful conversations, laughter, and the more than occasional reminder to leave your shoes at the door!

  • Chef Mama
    Mar 13 2025

    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!

  • Ski Fast, Talk Fast: Tales with Phil
    Feb 13 2025

    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!
