EPISODE 14 - CHRIS KLÄFFORD

Chris Kläfford - a voice out of this world, a brilliant songwriter, an ASMR-fan and a hidden gem of a cook, and a person - these are only some of the things that make the Swedish country musician. Al and Chris chat about dreams, and the importance of the journey over destination. Chris speaks about the surreal experience of recording his latest album in Nashville and how it’s like being confused with another famous Chris. On Al’s Advice, Chris and Al receive a sincere thank you letter that nearly brings tears to their eyes.

Perhaps Sweden’s most celebrated international comic Al Pitcher, continues to make us ponder and laugh at all things funny and Swedish with his third season of Dream Guest Podcast. Recorded from his studios in Skärholmen, Stockholm, Al’s ambition is to spread his love of Sweden abroad, while bringing in stars and topics of a global scale. The season premiers the day before the American presidential elections on November 4th, 2024. Between a giant ficus tree and a neon sign, Al invites an impressive line-up of guests to sit down with him for a laugh. The celebrated satirist and program host, John Oliver, kicks off the season by sharing with the audience his pre-election jitters. This season, joining Al in discussing topics that range from childhood pranks to identity crises, are comedians Russell Howard and Evelyn Mok, as well as musicians Jill Johnson, Chris Kläfford, and James Bay.
