In this episode, Johanna and K.S. talk with science writer Heather Pringle. In addition to many publications, Heather has written about Vikings in two issues of National Geographic, the most recent in March 2025. We had a fantastic conversation about her recent book The Northwomen and all things Viking women.

*At one point, Heather discusses female slaves. You will be warned before that section occurs. We know that it can be upsetting.
