Letters from America – a road trip podcast​

Thursday December 31, 2026 00:00 - 00:00 Entire U.S. | Jan - Dec, 2026

Main sponsor: Business Sweden

“Letters from America” is a twelve-month road trip podcast by Swedish photographer, musician and journalist Martin Waern, exploring Swedish heritage across the United States. The podcast is a coast‑to‑coast journey marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, told through weekly episodes featuring interviews with both recognizable and everyday voices, complemented by daily social posts capturing the highs, lows, detours, and small moments along the way.

The concept is simple: One man (and a dog), one car, one caravan, and one unforgettable journey. A lone traveler crossing from New Sweden, Maine, to the Pacific Coast and back, on a quest to uncover the story of “Swedish America.”
