Kristoffer Appelquist // 'Över Atlanten' TV Show

Comedian Kristoffer Applequist returns to the podcast to talk about his first trans-Atlantic passage with the Swedish reality TV show 'Över Atlanten.' Now in it's 6th season, the show - which puts celebrities onboard a big Swan with Whitbread skipper Gunnar Kranz for an Atlantic crossing - has become a huge hit. Kristoffer, Mia and I talk about how his dream of ocean sailing has evolved since we first had him on the show, how he got picked for the TV-show, what it was like hot-bunking with hockey legend Peter Forsberg and more.
