Among the most fearsome cultures found in Western History, the 'Vikings' remain a people well-remembered in today's society. But is there more to these seafaring Scandinavians than barbarism and warfare? On today's episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat fasten on their historical helms once again, this time to discuss some of the most legendary Vikings and Viking tales that have survived the centuries after their eventual demise. The guys also handle their usual collection of inane news stories this week, while also providing some listener feedback, talking some off-season football, and giving an all-important update on the world of Sumo. Did small pockets of 'Viking' culture survive in remote regions into the 15th century? What's the real difference between the 'Danes' and the 'Vikings'? Did the Vikings clash with Native American warriors in Canada 500 years before Columbus 'discovered' America? Is burning down a client's house the worst thing a real-estate agent could do on the job? Does 4Thirty have a new theme song that they forgot to tell anyone about? For answers to these questions and too many more, please give our latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!
