134. Welcome to Gothenburg

Välkommen till Göteborg - Welcome to Gothenburg! Sweden's modern day second largest city has taken 134 episodes to appear, but when it does, it is a fun entrance. We see the Dutch digging canals, the king ordering constructions and a tumultuous time trying to establish Swedish presence on the west coast. But it will all be worth it!

We also take the time to answer a listener's question about the origin of Swedish surnames, so listen to the end for that.
