A chronological journey through the history of Scandinavia. Geographically, we cover the five modern Nordic countries of Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Sweden and Finland—as well as a few other bits and pieces here and there where it’s relevant. The show is hosted by Mikael Shainkman: a historian, tour guide and coffee drinker.
