Swed-ish with Dee Bugg

When you think of Sweden, you usually think about high taxes, handsome men, and meatballs, and you're right, but there's also a lot more to learn about this country...and most of it may be incorrect but you won't know! Join renowned anthropologist, drag queen, and compulsive liar Dee Bugg as she observes and comments on everything about the cold and strange land she calls home. Maybe learn a new word and how not to pronounce it, maybe figure out how to write a Eurovision winner, or maybe figure out how to create awkward social situations with the locals on our journey to become Swed-ish.
