Linus Karp devoted the last year of his life to educating the world on how to be "jellicle" based on the Andrew Lloyd Weber movie "Cats" starring James Cordon. Now he's educating us on all things Sweden - from the traditional Swedish Christmas, the 6-week "Melodifestivalen" Eurovision contest in Sweden and the true meaning of Gratrunk. The wonderful Linus talks to Paul Reza Afshar on his mum's upbringing by a Conservative Swedish priest who kicked her out of home aged 18 and her transformation into a "Twitter gay". Mums, melodies and Princess Diana in this episode of My Mum Made Me.
