137 From Fjords to Frontiers
03.07.2026 | 32 Min.
Over a few generations starting in the mid-1800s, millions of Scandinavians left their homes to seek new lives across the Atlantic. Why did they do it? Where did they go? And what did the people who stayed behind think about it all?
136 Steam, Steel and Bacon
19.06.2026 | 34 Min.
Scandinavia had always been a poor, agrarian region on the margins of European civilization. But within a few decades in the late 1800s, things happened fast. Industrialization hit Denmark, Norway and Sweden like a tidal wave, changing the Scandinavian economy and society forever.
135 The Great Plot Twist
05.06.2026 | 32 Min.

134 The Father-in-Law of Europe
22.05.2026 | 31 Min.
Christian IX was born far from the Danish throne, but was eventually placed on it. The timing of his elevation was unfortunate, and his struggles didn’t end just because the war of 1864 did. He spent most of his long reign fighting against Danish politicians–and the times.
133 Ill-Fated Rematch
08.05.2026 | 35 Min.
