  • Résumé

  • Take Your Shoes Off is a podcast exploring the experiences of expats living and thriving - or at the very least getting by - in Sweden. Americans Bob and Kelly and Swedish Micke engage in meaningless banter while discussing the challenges and joys of starting anew in Sweden. Each week, they invite guests to share their unique stories, navigating cultural differences, personal growth, and the question of whether they’ll stay in their new home. Tune in for insightful conversations, laughter, and the more than occasional reminder to leave your shoes at the door!

  • Ski Fast, Talk Fast: Tales with Phil

    Ski Fast, Talk Fast: Tales with Phil
    Feb 13 2025

    Welcome back to Take Your Shoes Off, the podcast where we kick back, relax, and occasionally wonder why we ever left the warmth of home. Today, we’re diving into sportlov—Sweden’s beloved ski holiday—and who better to join us than an Irishman who talks faster than a downhill slalom?


    Our guest is Phil O'Connor a sports reporter, author, podcaster and someone who could probably narrate an entire Olympic ski race before the first turn. We’ll be chatting about winter sports, ski vacations, and whether the Irish approach après-ski with the same enthusiasm as a pub crawl back home.


    So grab a warm drink, buckle up—because this conversation moves at high speed—and let’s hit the slopes!



    Check out Phil's podcasts here: http://ourmaninstockholm.com/podcasts/


    "När allt står på spel" and "Utan offer, ingen seger" are two books written by Philip O'Conner and Haidar Hajdari. They can be found anywhere you buy or borrow books in Sweden!

    Episode 8: Ballin' with the Tyus Family
    Jan 30 2025

    What do basketball, Swedish dolphins, and the perfect balance of lagom have in common? Honestly, we're still figuring it out. This week, we sit down with professional basketball player Marcus Tyus and his wife, Maggie, to talk hoops, family life, and why Sweden may or may not have the best basketball development program. Plus, a little Magic Johnson, a dash of life advice, and the eternal struggle of finding 'just the right amount' of everything. Tune in for the fun, stay for the surprises - and check out our guests on Instagram @tyus.together
