Diskussionerna

Diskussionerna is a Swedish podcast series created by the Swedish news outlet *Aftonbladet*. Launched in 2019, the show is known for its in-depth, often controversial discussions on current affairs, politics, and societal issues. Each episode features a panel of guests, including journalists, academics, and public figures, who debate topics ranging from climate policy and immigration to media ethics and economic inequality.

The format blends structured interviews with spontaneous exchanges, aiming to provoke thought and spark debate. Discussionerna has gained a reputation for its bold, sometimes provocative takes, frequently challenging mainstream narratives. The podcast has been both praised for its incisive analysis and criticized for its perceived bias, particularly in how it frames certain issues.

Originally hosted by journalists like Johan Norberg and Peter Andersson, the show has evolved with new hosts and guest appearances over time. It has also expanded into other media formats, including video discussions and digital articles, maintaining its role as a platform for critical discourse in Swedish public debate.

While not a neutral outlet, Discussionerna has become a significant voice in Swedish media, influencing public opinion and fostering discussions on pressing national and international issues. Its influence extends beyond Sweden, attracting listeners who appreciate its bold approach to journalism.
