Jenny PalénGUEST
Not that often.
Jenny PalénGUEST
Sometimes, like I had a painting quite recently, they took it away, like in the tunnel between Gamla stan and T-centralen.
Roland-Philippe KretschmarHOST
Wow, that's like a long time.
Jenny PalénGUEST
Yeah, but maybe it was like five years ago now.
Brent RobillardHOST
So we went in.
Brent RobillardHOST
to Stockholm and we stayed in a beautiful area of Stockholm this time, right down in what's called Gamla Stan, which is the really old area in central Stockholm.
Brent RobillardHOST
And that's not too far from Kaplan's actually.
Brent RobillardHOST
And they have some new office space as well that we got to visit that has beautiful, you know, photography studio with tons of natural light, etc.
DaveHOST

Marcus RamströmGUEST
Eating dinner with her friends and all Brazilians in Sweden.
Olivia WindsorHOST
And I found that contrast really quite captivating.
Olivia WindsorHOST
And I loved being in, well, obviously Gamla Stan, the old town, is quite touristy and everything.
Olivia WindsorHOST
But, you know, the cobblestone streets, the architecture, parts of the architecture of Stockholm reminded me of the feeling in Paris, for example.
Olivia WindsorHOST
Would you agree? There's
TannerHOST
I was kind of looking at all the different little islands in the Stockholm archipelago.
TannerHOST
And so Stadsholmen is the island where Gamla Stan is located and Was it called that at the time? Was it not Gamla yet?
OrsaGUEST
No, so it wasn't.
OrsaGUEST
Gamla is old.
OrsaGUEST
So you're correct.
OrsaGUEST
It was called Stadsholmen, the city island, basically.
OrsaGUEST
I don't know exactly when it changed over to become Gamla Stan, the old town, which is what it's called today.
OrsaGUEST
But throughout the Middle Ages and... into the 1600s, Stockholm had been, basically the entire city had been on that island.
Charles HutchinsonHOST
This is why we're here doing this show.
Graham ChalmersHOST
exactly yeah but Stockholm was totally different it was bigger more worldly more bustling more crowded more multicultural and it was more modern looking because it was it was built because it was it was quite small and made of wooden houses until the late 19th century so it's overall it's more modern looking although it's got quite a lot of art nouveau buildings just like the Helsinki, it's got quite a lot of, in the old town Gamla Stan, it's full of like Dutch looking 16th, 17th century buildings.
Graham ChalmersHOST
So it's got that.
Graham ChalmersHOST
And it's not, it's not as beautiful as Helsinki is it's, on 14 islands and each island's got a slightly different character but most of it feels like a much bigger slightly better version of Leeds you know you're not you're not in a city of beauty everywhere although there are very beautiful parts to it so it's like you've got you've mentioned a better version of Leeds where you know everyone's civilized everyone is very respectful of each other the food and drink is superb Everybody likes to have a good life.
Graham ChalmersHOST
No, it's not that straightforward.
Graham ChalmersHOST
There are elements of Britain which are doing well, and places in Britain are doing well, and people in Britain are doing well, but the areas and the people and the sectors that aren't doing well are doing really badly, and the overall malaise is impacting to a degree on the good areas, and it's certainly impacted on the psychology.
Graham ChalmersHOST
There are people in Harrogate, which is a very athlete town, who don't spend money that they've actually got, even though they could afford to spend it, because it's a psychological misery of perpetual bad news that has an impact across the board, whoever you are.
Graham ChalmersHOST
Well, it sounds like...
