- Friendly and educational
I recently started listening to this podcast and although I’m not a heathen, you don’t need to be to listen in. I enjoy learning about the Norse pantheon and how the old ways are interpreted in today’s world. John is an excellent interviewer and host making all his guests feel welcome. I’m a bit late in finding this podcast, but I’m so glad I did.

United States5 years ago - Awesome interview
Hi Guys, it was a wonderful conversation and it went to fast. I listened to it twice and learned so many things. I loved when Nancy said “well our ancestors know who you are)! I can’t wait to get the book. I taught Andrea how to find it today. You two were naturals together.
Apple Podcasts5besumriderUnited States5 years ago Great podcast about inclusive heathenry and related subjects.
Podcast Addict56 years agoÞóra- Really grasping at straws
Totally lost me when the lady said ”Thor really embrace queerness” in regards to Þrymskviða. Pagan podcasts are like weird erotic fan fictions obsessed with assigning modern concepts of sexuality and gender to the oldest and most divine gods. 🤷♂️
Apple Podcasts1MinersechsUnited States6 years ago - Loving the show!
I’ve been looking for some inclusive voices in heathenry and this show is a great resource. The topics are interesting, perspectives are enlightening, and the show feels friendly and inviting. Please don’t stop making content!
