Kjell Westö takes over from author Andrev Walden. Westö and Annika Norlin, author and songwriter, will take turns answering listeners' existential questions in the podcast, which is released every other Saturday.

"I take on the task with humility; it is no easy task to replace the brilliant Andrev Walden. But I do so with large doses of inspiration, joy and curiosity - these are fantastic questions that listeners ask," Westö says in a press release from Sveriges Radio.

Westö is one of Finland's foremost authors and had his breakthrough in Sweden in 2006 with "Där vi en gång gått".

The first program with Kjell Westö will be released on May 16.
