Ep 66 - Slavery and Christianisation of Scandanavia with Shachar Orlinski

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Shachar Orlinski, a PHD student at the Hebrew university of Jerusalem whose study is concentrated on human trafficking in the Viking and Merovingian period. It's a hard topic to tackle but hopefully with Shachar's help we'll all walk away from the discussion a little bit wiser. Other topics this week include Heimdalls golden teeth, and our new favorite Youtube comment!  If you would like to check out some of Shachar's academic writing you can find that here: Shamash.academia.edu/ShacharOrlinski Also check out our Instagram: www.instagram.com/nordicmythologypodcast And if you like what we do, and would like to be in the audience for live streams of new episodes to ask questions please consider supporting us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/NordicMythologyPodcast We've also reached our goal of 100 Patrons and are starting a new show where our hosts Mathias and Daniel watch and commentate along with the popular series Vikings!
