Known For
Skavlan
Skavlan is a Norwegian-Swedish television talk show hosted by Norwegian journalist Fredrik Skavlan. It premiered in Sweden on Sveriges Television in January 2009, and the first guests to appear on the show were former Prime Minister of Sweden Göran Persson and his wife Anitra Steen. On 8 May 2009, it was announced that Skavlan had been renewed for a second season. It was also announced that the show would no longer only be produced by SVT in Sweden; Skavlan would now be partly produced in Norway by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. The first twelve episodes of Skavlan's second season were produced by SVT in Sweden, and the remaining twelve by NRK in Norway. Skavlan speaks Norwegian and his dialog is therefore subtitled in Swedish in Sweden, even though the two languages are quite similar and mutually intelligible. If the persons being interviewed by Skavlan are Swedish, he often tells them to let him know if they do not understand what he is saying. Swedish novelist Jan Guillou has criticized SVT for subtitling the program, stating "there is no need for that. If the host had been Danish, subtitling would have been necessary, but with a Norwegian host it does not make any sense."
Katrine Marçal möter Magdalena Andersson
Magdalena Andersson has been the Swedish Minister of Finance for five years. In this interview by Katrine Marçal, she comments on feminism, climate awareness, leadership and government finances. Magdalena Andersson is critical of the new type of feminism that is emerging: "Blaming women is not feminism," she says. When it comes to climate awareness, the finance minister thinks that the kind of activism that Greta Thunberg stands for is fantastic. But it is about setting up structures in society, such as systems that disadvantages fuel-consuming cars.
