Comedian Sofie Hagen takes us back to her childhood where she unexpectedly received a laptop and free holiday from the municipality. The former tax minister, Peter Brixtofte, was the mayor of Sofie鈥檚 town and his 鈥済enerosity鈥� meant that the citizens loved him. But soon people started to ask: where does the money come from for all these gifts? And why are Peter Brixtofte鈥檚 restaurant receipts so enormous? And why are big companies suddenly donating huge sums to the small local football club?

On this episode of Bad People, Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen discuss whether Peter Brixtofte was a modern-day Robin Hood or a crook. Why do we love anti-heroes?

This episode was recorded at the London Podcast Festival in front of a live audience.
