Introduction to Henrik Ståhl and Kirinaja


Welcome to the world of Kirinaja! Founded by Swedish actor, author, and podcaster Henrik Ståhl, Kirinaja is an audio production platform that brings you imaginative storytelling in both Swedish and English. Henrik, known for his soothing voice and improvisational style, hosts several popular podcasts designed to help you relax, fall asleep, or simply enjoy a moment of calm in your day.

Henrik's approach is unique – he doesn't use scripts, instead allowing his thoughts to flow naturally. This creates an intimate, authentic listening experience that many find comforting and engaging. As Henrik often says, "Det är som det är, det som händer händer och just nu finns inget vi kan göra åt det." (It is what it is, what happens happens, and right now there's nothing we can do about it.)

Kirinaja offers a variety of podcasts to suit different preferences and languages:

"Somna med Henrik" (Swedish): This is Henrik's flagship Swedish-language podcast designed to help listeners fall asleep. It releases two episodes per week, with two additional episodes for subscribers.

"Fall Asleep with Henrik" (English): The English counterpart to "Somna med Henrik," this podcast releases one episode per week and is perfect for English-speaking listeners looking for a soothing bedtime companion.

"Vandra med Henrik" (Swedish): This podcast offers Swedish listeners virtual walks and conversations with Henrik, providing a different kind of relaxation experience.

Other shows: Kirinaja also produces podcasts like "Henrikland," "The AI Way to Drift Astray," "Fides Podcast," and "Sleep Chamber," each offering unique content and experiences.

Att välja ett liv

Somna. Det börjar i påsken, i tystnaden som först känns som frihet och sen långsamt förvandlas till något annat. Något som ligger och trycker mellan tankarna som stora stenblock. Henrik sitter ensam, äter godis, tittar på tv och märker hur huvudet inte längre är en plats att flyga i utan något att s...

Faster, faster

Somna. Det blev fel. Och därför blev det rätt. Ett avsnitt som egentligen inte skulle finnas, men som ändå finns. För att något släpptes igår som skulle ha släppts idag, och då sitter jag här i värmen i Äventyrsvargen och försöker förstå varför det känns viktigt att hålla tider, och varför jag ändå ...

Don’t Try to Fall Asleep

Hi Sleepy. I start somewhere near a phone. Or maybe in the absence of one. I circle around how we look at screens to escape a world that doesn’t quite fit its own stories anymore. Then I drift. Into Jack Bauer, into old TV rhythms, into the idea that maybe we’ve lost the space in between things. The...

Min bästa kompis i natten

När jag inte kan somna för det värker i kroppen och tankarna snurrar, då hjälper du mig med din lugna röst, dina fina tankar, finurliga historier och små fniss. Jag fnissar med dig i natten och deppar lite med dig ibland. Och känner mig mindre ensam. Tack🙏❤️
