262. Dödscafé i Åkersberga

·45 min·4 clips

Bobbe and PO describe their upcoming September plans as having 'after-death-dome-energy,' like playing a funeral with the priest present.

Bobbe Nordfeldt and PO Strömberg open the episode by setting a morbid tone, comparing their upcoming plans to a funeral. They then detail their recent visit to SVT's costume and props depot in Åkersberga, describing it as a vast warehouse filled with clothing from decades past. The hosts are struck by the scale, with claims of a billion items, and the eccentric employee Pelle, whose mental cataloging is faster than Google. However, the booking system is archaic, involving handwritten forms, a lime-green measuring stick, and a tape roller for attaching paperwork. They encounter odd props, including a 'dead docker'—an American-style metal box—and must photograph it with specific, non-iPhone formats. Interactions with staff reveal hierarchies, with Pelle as the knowledgeable veteran and others seemingly hungry for contact. The hosts find ugly props from Fredde Granberg's Viking series and deal with an overly talkative staff member, leading to social discomfort and a hasty exit. They discuss the depot's shrinking collection and the lawless, Romania-like area surrounding it, including driving through a gas station to access the site. The episode touches on broader themes of outdated technology, as seen in their struggles with file formats and references to CD-ROM cookbooks and medical imaging. The narrative weaves between specific depot anecdotes and tangential musings on black-and-white photography and bureaucratic inefficiencies.
