Queen Christina In Rome: New Pod

Posted on by Erik Petersson in podcast, radio

For those who enjoyed the pod P3 Historia about Queen Christina and her time as a regent, here is the story of what happened after she left her throne, country and decided to become a catholic – all in a 17th century Europe where these things mattered a lot, not least for a former Queen. In this episode, Erik is your expert, and the story is based on his second book on Queen Christina, “Drottning utan land”.

Radio: Guest in Morgonpasset, P3, Swedish Radio

Posted on by Erik Petersson in radio

Today, it was time for another visit by Erik Petersson to the curious hosts at Morgonpasset i P3, Swedish Radio, the largest radio morning show in Sweden. Through a conversation that spanned from the 16th century to the 20th century, once again marking the 500th anniversary of Gustav Vasa’s ascension to the throne, he selected five things that have shaped Sweden – from the Reformation in the 16th century, through the Age of Liberty in the 18th century, to the political neutrality of the 20th century. One of the hosts said after that he had never learned so much history in such a short time before. Hope you also enjoyed the program! Listen here: https://sverigesradio.se/embed/episode/2194001
