Refusing to wear headphones in the softest way imaginable, Robert Forster of The Go-Betweens' fame joins Björn and Sarah on the evening before his departure from Sweden after a month-long recording session. He takes us back in time to the recording industry of the 80s, explains how he taught Grant McLennan to play bass with zero musical training, and what it’s like to be both a musician – and a music critic! Oh, and let’s us in on the gig he played at the inauguration of the Go Between bridge in his hometown, while disclosing his favorite studio in the world as….

18. Johnossi's John Engelbert
A week before releasing his 8th studio album, John Englebert of Swedish rock duo Johnossi joins Sarah and Björn to share the highs and lows of his creative process. He waxes lyrical on everything from scientology and air miles to why Johnossi started without a bassist, how the White Stripes helped them along, and how the band’s songwriting process has evolved over two decades together, because, you know, “Rehearsing is boring.” Oh, and we learn what Ossi really thought of the lead single on the new album when he first heard a demo back in 2019. A truly raucous ride of a conversation, we leave him with the last word: “Music is a magical thing."

17. Anna Ternheim
Having recently returned to her native Sweden after nearly an entire adulthood living in the U.S., Anna Ternheim joins us in the studio for a fun and inspiring conversation. Over the course of an hour, she lets us in on how: -she thinks she’s incredibly slow in the creative process -the first album carries a magical energy -different places influence her sound, while she always follows the same routines -playing with a band vs. on her own feels -she’s found her songwriting formula Fun fact: we recorded with her on the same day as her fellow Dead People bandmate Joakim Berg. With similarly kind and generous spirits, it was simple to see how these two found themselves in creative communion.

16. Joakim Berg – part 2
After 15 years giving zero interviews, getting this man in the podcast seat was…easy. When we asked him to join us in the studio for Back to the Music, he said yes and even arrived early. Sarah and Björn then sat the Swedish rock legend known as Joakim Berg down for a fun 90 minutes of music (and everything in-between) chit-chat. In episode 2, the conversation deepens and broadens, touching upon: Why Kent is so loved by the Swedish folk What the band fought about when they were together A secret room at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm that is very dear to his heart If Kent could possibly maybe someday...

15: Joakim Berg – part 1
After 15 years of giving zero interviews, getting this man in the podcast seat was…easy. When we asked him to join us in the studio for Back to the Music, he said yes and arrived early. Sarah and Björn sit the Swedish rock legend known as Jocke Berg down for a fun 90 minutes of music chit-chat. And here is the first half of that afternoon, when he talks about: How a kids’ TV series with a sunburst Fender stratocaster inspired his music career. How the Swedish music funding scene got Kent on its feet and then kicked them to the curb for not abiding by the rules. How liquid courage (vodka) brought the band its drummer. How melody writes the lyrics. How Kent abandoned guitars
