This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with returning guest Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen, and new guest Kyrre Franck to discuss the Sámi tribes and cultural appropriation. The idea for this show came about after Rune made a trip to the Danish National Museum and saw a display of four traditional Sámi drums. So this week we're going to be talking about cultural appropriation, what does it look like, who does it affect, and what to do about it. Needless to say it's going to get very, very, complicated.

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Christian Frederick Nicklaus, the artist behind Art for Valhalla, where he makes beautiful shields, axes, and other weapons.  Together with the boys he'll be discussing his own artistic process as well as the unique challenges of criticism and creating art in the age of social media.

This week is another show and tell episode, in these shows Mathias and Daniel each bring a few topics and proceed to do a really good deep dive discussion on them. This week we'll be talking about whether or not Iceland is part of Scandinavia (as you might have guessed from the title) and also the inherent problems of Odinism. Keep in mind sometimes our topics can be a bit contentious and complex questions often have complex answers that please basically no one; in fact that's basically our brand at this point.

It's the re-return of The Ham... again. This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with the one and only Ed Gamester! Ed has become a regular on the show and his episodes are always a blast. This time he's here to discuss his upcoming show, Mythos: Ragnarok, a live theater performance which re-imagines the events of the twilight of the gods through the medium of professional wrestling. The explanation of how he ended up there will no doubt be complicated!

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Barbara Jane Davy, author of Introduction to Pagan Studies, Paganism: Critical Concepts in Religion, to talk about her latest work which examines gift giving rituals and their links to ecology. Together with the boys she'll be delving into gift giving rituals in the Viking and modern age and their effect on the communities who take part in them. Barbara was a last minute guest who hopped on to help us out with a last minute cancelation so be prepared for things to be a bit more complicated than usual...

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Visy Bloodaxe, the frontman of the awesome band Seidrblot! Seidrblot debuted at Midgardsblot several years ago to a very warm reception and promptly began touring until the current ongoing unpleasantness brought that up short. In addition to his musical talents Visy also hand crafts instruments both for himself and others. Together with the boys he'll be discussing Seidrblot's music, his relationship to Eric Bloodaxe and the use of psychotropics in rituals during the Viking Age.

This week is another of our new old school Show and Tell Episodes. Just to remind people of the format both our hosts Mathias and Daniel each bring a few topics and proceed to do a really good deep dive discussion on them. This week's topics are: Why are Vikings so popular in South America? And what were the actual living conditions of people in the Viking Age? Also, a special guest appearance by Mathias's dog barking at a moose that trapped him in his house; it's complicated. 

Please bear with our sound this week as Dan is breaking down and moving his studio and Mathias is getting over being sick. With any luck everything will be back to normal soon!

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with  Uffe Berenth one of the brilliant artists behind Ginnungagap Art, a tattoo studio specialising in Nordic Tattoos, Viking Tattoos and Rune Tattoos; Uffe also has a special personal connection with the god Týr. Together with the boys he'll be discussing the spirituality behind the tattooing process, whether or not Vikings tattooed, and Daniel somehow managing to get stuck in his own grinder at work this week (he's fine, it's complicated). It's a lovely discussion and we hope to have Uffe on again soon, enjoy!

Also, Mathias is still getting over being ill, which is why his voice sounds so raspy. He should be back to normal by next week.
