This Wednesday we will be visited by Hans Erik Havsteen and Anders Olling, who are behind the podcast Kongerækken and since 2015 have been communicating history in a way that is both engaging, entertaining and professionally sharp.

Over three evenings, the duo invites you into conversations that have changed the world and examines how the conversations left clues in history. The first time they delve into the relationship between Lev Tolstoy and Mahatma Gandhi. Based on their exchange of letters from 1909 to 1910, the two icons' pioneering thoughts and ideas about nonviolence and the pitfalls of modern society unfold - ideas that still cast long shadows on our contemporary times.
