  • Wow

    Couldn’t even make it through the first episode. They have clearly not done enough research and they go off on tangents that are so boring and irrelevant. Please research

  • 20 minutes to get into episodes? REALLY?

    Once you guys actually start on the topic at hand it’s not bad but it shouldn’t take 20 minutes of personal life filler and episode planning to get into every episode. I can’t speak for everyone but I know for a fact I don’t have the time or care to filter through the stuff about your mindfulness classes and physical therapy sessions to get into the story of ragnarok. 20 minutes at the beginning on every episode is a waist of people’s times in my opinion.

  • You don’t have to look at the old poems

    I’m sorry, but you DO have to look at the old. Sure your banter is fine. All luck to you. Neil Gaiman is not Odin. Best wishes, your cast is not mine.

  • A twist on Norse mythology

    I’ve been enjoying this show for a few years, great content based on the myths and sagas of old Norse. I love David’s approach connecting the psychological aspects to the symbolic writings of these stories. (Not what I was expecting) Sean’s ability to research and connect stories and characters together has clarified questions I’ve had in the past.

    Good show boys 10/10! I listen to you while I’m at work since I do a tonne or service calls alone. Keep it up! I listened to the Viking age podcast... more
