WELCOME | to my Airstream Studio

“Letters from America" is a road trip podcast in search of the Swedish heritage in the United States - stories from a country built with bricks from all parts of the world. - It’s the letters from America, about America, to America.I am Martin Wærn, and in partnership with the Embassy of Sweden in Washington, DC, Volvo Cars USA, Volvo Trucks USA, and Airstream Inc. , I'm on a twelve-month tour to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence by exploring the people and places of Swedish America through a series of interviews and short stories. It’s a coast-to-coast (and back) assignment, through Swedish American stories found in New Sweden, Maine, the Bronck House, Coxsackie, Mount Rushmore, South Dakota - and everything in between. We’ll meet both well-known and everyday voices, sharing their stories alongside daily posts of all the mishaps, fortunes, lucky strikes, wrong turns, and right mornings that will shape us throughout the year.
