New this year is that there will also be readings for children. Inger “Pippi” Nilsson, Zeina Mourtada and Isak “Fjortisper” Löb are among those reading “Nidstången”, the first part of the Pax series.
In total, twenty actors, musicians, presenters and writers will read aloud for a total of 16 hours in what SVT describes as "cultural slow TV".
