Depression (In Space!): Aniara, ft. Max Johansson

Om avsnittet

It's not just a poem, it an EPIC poem.

This week, the Shelfers take on Harry Martinson's 1956 Swedish, sci-fi epic, "Aniara." Joining them is Max Johansson, who will be considered our pod's official Sweden expert from here on out.

Proletarian literature, running away from your problems, existential despair, quibbling over translations, nuclear apocalypse!!! This one's got it all.

Want more of Max? Well, you'll need to speak Swedish, but if you do, go and check out his podcast, Brodrafolkens! You can also follow him on Instagram @maxjohkna.

Music by Solo Monk (@SoloMonk256 on Twitter, ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/solomonkart⁠⁠,) episode art is us blasting off.
