  • Viking Environmentalism!
    Rune talks about 'Viking Environmentalism' and how traditional folk, folk-ish, and animist ways of life build and uphold 'connectedness', both between human persons, and between human persons and non-human persons and their environs. Like many vital conversations, this episode contains profanity.

  • Resisting Fascist Heritage Mining
    How can we combat European heritage mining by bad actors and disingenuous cultural / political movements?

  • The Suebian Man Bun

    From undercuts to braids, representations of Iron Age Nordic peoples have often emphasised hairstyles as being expressive of some kind of inherent wild-ness or authentic anti-civilisation about the 'Vikings'. With the Suebian man we have a preserved hair style from that era, and Dr Rasmussen discusses this find, and the possible symbolism literally entwined in the hair.
