  • The very woke, politically partisan host is absolutely right that Graham Hancock is a complete hack and a shyster, no question there. I however do not understand what Joe Rogan's alleged "transphobia" has to do with actual science and history? He goes completely off the rails attacking Joe Rogan because he isn't a woke revisionist social justice warrior. Science isn't supposed to be political

  • Great VIking show!

    I liked how the show host was reading runes off of runestones in both the native tongue and then English with mood music in the background. I think he should read more runestones since it sounds like I am listening to Middle Earth Elvish or something.

  • Thank You Fredrik!

    It is refreshing to have the opportunity to learn more about the civilizations/cultures that have been co-opted by these “theorists” who would rather believe in extraterrestrials than in the ingenuity and ability of ancient humans. Thank you for bringing in the real context in an entertaining and informative way!
