Deported to Sweden
A podcast where storytelling, writing, and bourbon meet—and not always in that order.
Meet the Hosts
I'm Fred, the host of Deported to Sweden. Every episode, I surprise my co-host—Peter Colt, a published author and the guy who does most of the good talking—with a topic he’s never seen coming. It might be about writing, storytelling, inspiration, or whatever strange angle I felt like chasing that week.
Despite the ambush format, Peter always manages to say something smarter than I do. Somehow. That’s the show: bourbon, banter, and the occasional moment of real insight—usually from him.
