23 min - Myth Vs Pseudo HistoryIn a free style response to a listener's question Rune ponders aloud on the intersections between History (what happened), Historiography (the narratives formulated from the evidence History leaves behind), and Mythology (the meanings abstracted from History). Perhaps Historiography and Mythology aren't so different, and perhaps how one relates to the past is what matters?

14 min - Mega Queer Cosmology of Pre-Christian Norther European ReligionsCategories AND their transgression are BOTH fundamental parts of Nordic cosmology. (This traditional element of queer doesn't necesserily imply disolving categories, (which would probably be the preferred position of contemporary queer empowerment ideology), only their transgression as fundamental.) Rune explores the many transgressions within Nordic cosmology, and how this is a fundamental aspect of the animistic world view.
