September 08, 2021 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.

September 01, 2021 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.

August 25, 2021 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.

August 18, 2021 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.

August 11, 2021 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!

August 04, 2021 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).

July 28, 2021 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.

July 21, 2021 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.
