A review of “The Wedding Cake” on Ubiquarian

At RAI 1 morning radio show “Il caffè di Raiuno”

I made a video appearance on the morning show “Il caffè di Raiuno today.  I was invited to talk about my beloved Sweden stating why I love to live here; a very easy tack indeed! The program is in Italian obviously, but here’s the link to RaiPlay to watch the show, if you want to have a look. I appear towards the end of the program, at around 0:46:00.

New review about “To Die Free”!

And this picture really reveals it!
