Listen "The history of Gothenburg"

Episode Synopsis

History educator Daniel Finnholm talks about the history of Gothenburg, from the prehistoric inhabitants of the region to the modern-day city. We learn about the various (surprisingly often invaded) iterations of the settlement, and its role in Sweden's most successful business venture ever: the Swedish East India Company. You might be as surprised as we were when Daniel brings up the reason Volvo became so big.
Hosts: André de Mots, Ieva Auškalnytė and Pierre Pintado
