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.

Det sista halmstråt
Hej Somna. Jag hittade ett halmstrå i en gammal pappmugg på mitt gamla kontor. Det såg ut som ett förskräckt utropstecken. Jag plockade upp det. Och det sa hej. Sen berättade det om en äng, om vinden, om ett liv bland andra strån, om en resa i en låda, om en fest som jag inte minns men som kanske h...
