Kicker: Sweden’s calm escape

NICK EICHER, HOST: Okay, first thing we do here is we slow everything… waaaaay… down.

Like this.

Because if you’re tired of the fast-paced life…, Sweden has the perfect solution.

Moose.

Walking.

Very slowly.

It’s called The Great Moose Migration — a 20-day livestream. It started April 15th. And if you’ve ever seen a moose migrate: Blink all you like, you won’t miss much.

Think of it as Bob Ross meets a herd of happy little moose.

Executive producer Johan Erhag:

ERHAG: Everyone is so stressed today with the social media and the way we produce everything we do in our life. And this is the total opposite of that.

No mistakes, just happy little accidents, happy little hoofprints across the countryside.

Now, back to our regular quick pace.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
