#125 - Transaladdic


This week we sail onto thin ice with no life jacket and no ice picks. HELL YEAH LET'S TALK TRANS

  • A BOY NAMED INGMAR: We had one of those gin and tonic parties and at some point we ran out of tonic... BUT WE DIDN'T RUN OUT OF GIN
  • A BOY NAMED JASMINE: "Can we talk about Disney's transgender princess?" This might be a rhetorical question but of course the answer is "Yes. Absolutely. At length."
  • A BOY NAMED ALADDIN: Let's go deeper. There's another level. There's always another level.

#123 - #PILOTSEASON


This week we get definitive. Is Keanu Reeves a terrible actor or not? Is Anders able to pronounce the word "contributing"? Is Jakob dressed up as Instagram or as a gingerbread man... from the future?

  • MOONSHINE PONG: Very similar to Beer Pong but a bit more fuzzy.
  • TITLE: There's a whole new crop of one word title shows and Anders is full of speculation.
  • IDEAS ARE DUMB: With exciting new hashtag technology we've collected a series of TV pitches.

#121 - #FOODVEMBER


Anders is boggled by both social media and "the concept of food" so this week we head into the eye of the perfect storm - the food pic. Everyone please let Anders know if you want #foodvember to happen.

  • DONE WITH TIME TRAVEL: Jakob has seen Looper again and has had enough, thank you.
  • IT'S YOUR BUSINESS: If Anders had his way facebook would be full of knife tutorials and directions to waterfalls. Possibly instructions of how to build cabins. BUT NEVER RECIPES.
  • BURNED OR BLAND: Does it take 15 years to learn how to cook a decent meal?

#119 - Phenonomenon


This week we're joined by Johan who gives us untold insight into the world of near leathal industrial cable production. It's more leathal than you'd think. And remember, kids - if you can smoke it, you can eat it!

  • WAR ON PHONES: Anders speculates on what phone he would buy if he bought a phone, and on what drugs he would do if he did drugs. Both are equally unlikely.
  • POWER BALANCE: Can holograms around your wrist make you athletic?!?! (Spoiler alert: No.)
  • THE OATH: I can't tell you about what we talk about in the rest of the episode. Because of the oath. You have to listen. And take the oath.

#117 - Prequel Patient Zero


Some day over the rainbow there might be a good prequel! But we're not there yet!

  • EDGE OF TOMORROW: Tom Cruise only plays parts where he gets to be the baddest badass in the world. He's like the kid who always has to be Batman.
  • SPEAKING OF WHICH: Jakob watched the first episode of the "television show" Gotham.
  • MONEY TALKS: Anders explains the Little Mermaid Prequel, the Atlantis Sequel, the Casper Prequel, and we fall back on the fact that most things are terrible.

#115 - Young Sexy Everyone


Why is everything an adaptation of a reboot of a sequel of a remake of a prequel?

  • TALKING ABOUT OUR GENERATION: Multiple screens? What?! Yes it's true, Jakob would roll around on a waterbed of iPads if he could, touching all the touchpads with all his touchy bits.
  • SMALLVILLE BATMAN: Going into that dark uncanny One World Title Valley, we find ourselves in the back alleys of Gotham, running for our lives from these young sexy villains.
  • BATHROOMS: Sometimes you just gotta kick a bathroom door in, you know?

#113 - Illuminati Facebook


"I put spices in you!!" Anders screamed at his so-called stew. "Become food now! Be tasteful!"

  • FIRE: We went to a party, a pirate party, so here is a dubiously informed guide to vegan quisine.
  • THE CROISSANT ON THE TABLE: Hopefully you're already aquantied with our zero tolerance against one word titles, but since last time about a dozen new god damn one word titles have started, so we go through the list and pitch like crazy.
  • THE ALGORITHM: Fight the machine, fellow Facebookteers!

#111 - Sour Grapes



We've decided to release an English episode every other week! But we did two in a row this time in order to sync up with Library 34, so that we release on alternate weeks. Hurrah? Yes: HURRAH INDEED.

  • HELLO DEAR: We're Swedish! But we speak English? Let's talk differences and expressions that exist in one but not the other. "Don't say hello before you've jumped over the stream!"
  • SO TO SPEAK: A magical phrase that allows you to pull anything at out of your ass. Various berriers are discussed. What does the orange-furred omnivorous mammal with the bushy tail say?
  • TO BE OR NOT TO BE: We won a copy of Ryan North's choose your own adventure version of Hamlet off the Pod Your Own Adventure podcast, and decided to play it live on the show.

#110 - Hello There!



Hello there! This is episode 110 of Hallå Där but maybe also episode 1 of Hello There? Or something? Anyway, we did this one in English and if there's an interest we will do more like it.

  • WE ARE THE ROBOTS: After a brief discussion on the end of the world, we get into Jakob's Kraftwerk experience in Dalhalla and the local non-existent music scene.
  • I PRACTICE WITH BOW: Anders was Robin Hood one day. He practice with bow.
  • A DAY AT THE RACES: Operating a finish line camera is less exciting than you'd think. Except when things go wrong.
