  • This episode is OK, but is mostly tangent rather than subject.

    Also to answer a question on the episode, they probably used nails to make Naglfar as there was an idea that finger and toe nails kept growing after death, so it would have been the only thing they really had to use down there.

  • Awesome podcast

    I have been a heathen since 2008, after a all expenses paid 6 month holiday in Southern Afghanistan.

    I thought I knew a good bit about my own faith, but these guys teach me something new every episode.

    The guests are brilliant each brings insightful and interesting facts about Nordic mythology.

    Thank you Mathias and Dan.
