This week Mathias and Daniel are hopping in the wayback machine and doing something we haven't done in a while, that is to say doing an episode without a guest! We recently got some feedback that some people missed the laid back feel of the old shows.  So moving forward we're hoping to mix in more of these slower Show and Tell style episodes where both hosts bring a few topics and we do a really good deep dive discussion. This week's topics? Did Vikings actually have beards, and why the Viking Age doesn't actually exist... Look, it's really complicated... just don't ask.You can always find us on Instagram at: www.instagram.com/nordicmythologypodcastAnd if you like what we do, and would like to be in the audience for live streams of new episodes to ask questions please consider supporting us on Patreon:www.patreon.com/NordicMythologyPodcastIf you would like to join our bi-weekly watch-alongs where Mathias and Daniel watch and commentate along with the popular series Vikings, or get access to our special Storytime episodes covering the saga literature, then all you have to do is join our Patron.
