Nordic Mythology Podcast Mathias Nordvig and Daniel Farrand

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Alex Feher, one of the creators and organizers of Fire in the Mountains. Fire in the Mountains is a celebratory event with music, art, camping, adventuring, education, socializing, and local food. It's also happening this month July 22-24! Together with the boys Alex will be talking through all the festival's unique offerings, including meditating with metal music, a feast prepared by our frequent guest Jonas Lorentzen, and a presentation by our very own Mathias Nordvig; also grizzly bear education, it's complicated.

It's the 4th of July in the United States this week so Daniel  and  Mathias thought it would be fun to talk about viking age revolutions, so bust out ye Olde Les Misérables lyric book and strap in. Whether it be women smashing their looms to start a revolt, or locals sacrificing their king to regain the favor of the gods, you had better believe we're going to talk about it. There is also quite a bit of talk about the current political situation in the United States, particularly having to do with the recent decision by the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade, so if that's too heavy for you at the minute feel free to skip this one, we understand.

Daniel is on the road traveling this week so it's just going to be him and  Mathias, no guest to speak of, also the sound quality might be a bit spotty so bear with us. Together they'll be sitting down to discuss the hot internest topic of viking cleanliness. Were Vikings notably more clean than people in the middle ages? There's only one way to find out and you better bet the answers will be complicated!

This episode has taken almost 2 years to arrange, so we hope you really enjoy it. This week Mathias and Daniel are honored to be sitting down with Alexander Dreymon, aka Uhtred of Bebbanburg from the popular show The Last Kingdom! Together with the boys Alex will discuss how a lord with no lands might pay the men who fought for him in a pre-currency era, and there will also be a solid 20 minutes on coconut bikinis. Why? It's complicated.
A special thanks to Alex for coming on the show, it was a real treat for us and the patrons!

It's a comedy of errors this week as, due to a last minute cancellation Mathias and Daniel are sitting down to discuss the lesser known member of the nordic pantheon from Snorri Sturluson's Edda. On top of that Mathias had to record this one from his campus office, so the sound quality might be a little shaky, please be kind.
Nevertheless we persist! Topics this week include: What's the deal with Baldur? Was Bragi a real skaldic poet? And which god got a mention in the Edda just for being, "good at archery"? The answers will be complicated.

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Katrine Stenbekk, the amazingly talented Norwegian songwriter and vocalist. Katrine is sitting down with the boys to discuss her journey in music, and her most recent activity with her band Kalandra, as well as her experiences as a backing vocalist with Wardruna. Other topics include: the challenges of following your passion as a career, why the Midgard Serpent might be a metaphor for drowning, and the infamous coconut biki... It's complicated.
