Hello and welcome to the first real episode of Around the Long Fire! We’re so excited to finally sit down and talk about the double-edged sword of Odin taking an interest in your family line, Niamh desperately tries to explain pronunciation notes to Em who has never learned word one of Icelandic, and we feel out our new adventures. Come with us, gather around, and enjoy the power of a strong man and his successively stronger sons.

NIamh can be found haunting Export Audio with Ghost Divers and Ornate Stairwells (and Pondering Pootan, which has never haunted anyone) and on twitter @foxmomnia

Em can be found working themselves into an early grave here at Abnormal Mapping and on twitter @em_being

Art is by Rose Honeyboy (@boxofhamsters), who did a fantastic job. We’re so happy she could our vision happen on this one.

Next Week: Volsunga Saga 13-29
