André and Anders talk about the financial crisis and the relationship between work and identity. In society, unemployment can often lead to depression when an unemployed person starts to question their identity and role in society. Another problem is that some people work more than full time while others are completely kept out of the job market. André and Anders further rant about the the common conception that unemployment is something awful and almost embarrassing, but a lot of people seem to secretly enjoy the freedom of not having a steady day job.
André och Anders pratar om finanskrisen och hur arbete och identitet korrelerar. Det är ett stort problem i samhället att arbetslöshet oftast leder till depression, eftersom den arbetslösa personen börja ifrågasätta sin identitet och roll i samhället. Ett annat problem är att vissa människor jobbar mer än heltid, medan andra är helt utestängda från jobbmarknaden. De pratar även om den vanliga uppfattningen att arbetslöshet är något hemskt och nästan skamfullt, men många människor verkar i smyg gilla friheten att inte ha ett dagjobb att gå till.

Feeling the warm rays of the sun, hearing the children playing beneath the balcony, birds singing in the trees and neighbours mowing their lawns, André and Anders were inspired to talk a little bit about the Swedish summer holiday.
I solens värmande strålar, med barn lekande nedanför balkongen, fåglar sjungandes i träden och omgivna av gräsklippande grannar, bestämde sig André och Anders för att prata lite om den svenska semestern.

These first and beautiful summer months are in Sweden a time of many traditional celebrations. This week, André and Anders talk about Midsummer, the ancient celebration of the longest day of the year. One might perhaps want to call it the bigger and better brother of the celebration of Valborg, discussed a few weeks ago. Better indeed, with regards to its dedication to food. Herring and strawberries crown this annual great party.
Försommaren är i Sverige en tid för många traditionella firanden. Den här veckan pratar André och Anders om den urgamla traditionen midsommar, firandet av årets längsta dag. Man skulle kanske kunna kalla midsommar den större och bättre brodern till Valborg som diskuterades för några veckor sedan. Bättre, helt klart, när det gäller maten. Sill och jordgubbar kröner denna årliga jättefest.
