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.

Den Svarta Pyramiden
Hej Somna. I natt vandrar vi tillsammans till den kolsvarta pyramiden, ett monument som slukar ljus och suddar ut gränsen mellan dröm och verklighet. Här öppnar dörrarna sig utan att gnissla, minnen blandas med fantasier, och våra hjärtslag blir en del av pyramidens tysta melodi. Kan Hillary Clinto...
Wolf Shield’s Daughter
Hi Sleepy. Tonight, we trace the tangled threads of Henrik’s lineage — from noble knights with goat-pensions and helmet-fields, to tall matriarchs in hypnotic 60's dresses, to smoky kitchen dances and secret jewelry sessions on shaggy bedroom carpets. We meet King Håkon Longlegs (or… do we?), Wolf ...

Lulling
Hi Sleepy, With no commercials to cause a wake up except at the start, this podcast has been my go-to to help me fall back to sleep. Henrik is just the right amount of entertaining with a soothing voice to lull you back to dreamy land.
Somnar ofta
Jag somnar av att du pratar och pratar och det är det som ör så bra. I❤️YOU!!!!
Lekfullt och kreativt.
Oftast somnar jag, ibland lyssnar jag. Det är något barnsligt fint över Henriks berättelser, en enkelhet som väcker barnet i mig och en trygghet som får mig att somna. Somna med Henrik har blivit som min kompis i sandlådan.
