    • 2020 July 2, Marcus Bornlid Lesseur, “Buskis – ny bok om en genre som är både hatad och älskad”, in Sveriges Radio:
      – Det som drog mig lite till det var också att bland de som kommenterar buskisen, kritiker till exempel, ses den som ganska dålig och har en negativ klang, medan bland utövare och publik ses den som något väldigt positivt; det lockar en stor publikskara och är väldigt populär.
      - What drew me to it was also that among those who comment on the farcical open-air theatre, critics for example, it is seen as quite bad and has a negative connotation, while among practitioners and audiences it is seen as something very positive; it attracts a large audience and is very popular.
