In this edition of Radio Sweden Weekly, Dave Russell and Kris Boswell discuss several current issues in Sweden. The first segment focuses on a grassroots movement called "smartphone-free childhood," which encourages parents to delay giving their children smartphones until age 14, featuring an interview with Holly Quist, who started a local group in Sweden. The second topic covers a new law allowing police to use genetic genealogy to solve serious crimes, including insights from Niklas Andersson of the Police's National Operations Department and genetic genealogist Peter Sjöland. Finally, Paulina Celine from P4 Vestmanland reports on the looting of the Anundshög, an important cultural heritage site, before transitioning to lighter topics such as Iron Maiden's request for fans to limit phone use at concerts and the announcement of the Birgit Nilsson Prize for classical music.
