  • 17. The War of the Gods
    Today, we're going to war! Well...not exactly. This time we'll be covering the first was that ever was, when great gods clashed. Assuming we aren't murdered 3 times to no avail, we might just live to learn what happens afterwards.

  • 16. Yggdrasil
    Today, we're going to continue plundering Norse cosmology; but this time, we'll be exploring the foliage of the world tree, Yggdrasil. Assuming we don't get attacked by four deer mysteriously munching upon its leaves, we might just learn how this tree holds the entire cosmos together.

  • 15. Fortify Thy Heart: Midgard and Asgard
    Today, we're going to continue plundering Norse Cosmology; but this time we'll be covering the impressive fortresses that lie at the heart of the Norse cosmos: Midgard and Asgard. Along the way, you might just learn that fortresses in medieval Scandinavia had more symbolic importance than meets the eye.

  • 14. Ginnungagap Grows
    Today, we're going to start plundering Norse Cosmology. Back in episode 10, we briefly covered the creation of world from the void called Ginnungagap. Well, to start things off, we're going to take a closer look at that event, so brace yourselves for an episode of ice and fire.

  • 13. Myth in Saga Literature
    Leaving the salty bois behind, we continue raiding Norse mythology to cover yet more prose literature: the sagas. These are less salty, perhaps, but not always about lore. Nevertheless, there's much to plunder here that might otherwise be overlooked!

  • 12. Salty Bois: Myth in Snorri and Saxo’s Prose
    Our raid against Norse mythology continues, this time taking plunder from the salty bois who rewrote the poetry from last week's raid, turning it into prose (a language most of us can actually understand).

  • Bonus 2: Notes on Viking-Age Cargo Ships
    An exclusive, 16-minute bonus episode for Skald-in-Training Companions covering my consultation notes regarding Viking-Age cargo ships for the upcoming book Land by Bjørn Larssen. Listeners will have the chance to learn things not found in our Raids, thus granting them exclusive access to the history that both Bjørn and I learned while working together on this project. Some notable topics include: crew sizes, dimensions, repairs, dragon-prows, and more!

  • 11. Myth in Eddic and Skaldic Poetry
    This week, we continue raiding Norse mythology by covering the most ‘genuine’ source material we have besides archeology: eddic and skaldic poetry. Yet...I think we'll quickly realize that even these sources have their problems.

  • 10. Remnants from the Void
    Before all things was Ginnungagap, the great void from which our world was born—so begins the lore we'll be covering in the next few episodes. But that void isn't the only one we must address, for the sources of Norse mythology are themselves remnants from a similar void—one caused by the lack of contemporary evidence we have to learn from.
