My next special guest in this mini series meeting the many talented and skilled and knowledgable folk who are part of this years ⁨@JORVIK-Viking-Centre⁩ Jorvik Viking Festival - is a truly talented storyteller by the name of Jason Buck.

I chat to him about how he first encountered the Norse myths, how he creates the stories he enchants audiences with, we discuss the nature of stories and their enduring power, the blessing and curse of not knowing all the norse stories ever told, how various folklore share similiarities and many other topics I hope you find interesting.

If you are at all interested in attending one of his live or online story events please visit his website here: https://www.jasonbuckstoryteller.co.uk/

You can begin to experience and listen to his wonderful and skilled story of The Shield Maiden thanks to this video recording he made of it, in two parts, 4 years ago on YouTube - https://youtu.be/LkQv0ZmJbLE?si=WV8hZFwyVSi8hOx0
