Join Tilly, Judith, and Ash in Episode 3 as they set sail into the July reading theme: Vikings!

In this “field notes” episode, they share their own experiences with Viking archaeology, history, and literature, swapping favourite stories and first impressions. They discuss why Vikings remain such a popular and important topic, how research has changed over time, and why this theme continues to capture imaginations across disciplines.
