Neil Gaiman was good, Sutton Hoo Chap (sorry name escapes me), Ed Gamester for a giggle

Mags on her specialty is always interesting. I think it’s good when guests come back in and continue their story

The Nordic Mythology Podcast

I'm hoping to get Mathias on to do an Åsatru episode with the 3 of us. I think the last one missed the mark a little.

Also would find it very interesting to have an episode about hunting in the Viking age, I feel like has been touched on a bit but always more like 'we should do an episode on that'

I missed the last one but would really enjoy this if it works out.

What about some guests who can identify “must see” sites when the travel goal to that part of the world is to completely geek out on the Viking Era. Maybe even an episode dedicated to each Scandinavian country with the “top ten” archeological sites / museums / festivals / etc. (main focus being history, customs, food). The guest might outline how the list shifts for visits during colder times of year vs. peak tourist season and maybe even suggest “tourist traps” to avoid. 🤓

Can you get someone as major as Bernard Cornwell (author of the book series that became The Last Kingdom TV series)? - OR - Are you interested in a “creator series” from someone like Octavia Randolph, author of The Circle of Ceridwen Saga. She has created an entire world in her book series based upon massive research into the Viking Era, and she could speak at length about being an indie author. She is my favorite mentor and has a cult following. (I can ask her if you want.) I’d offer myself for this but I’m only a newbie author. Octavia is American but lived in England for a long time and has since relocated to Gotland where a portion of her stories are set. Do you cross-promote other podcasts? I can put you in touch with K.S.Barton who (along with Johanna Wittenberg) started the podcast Shieldmaidens: Women of the Norse World. Both of these ladies are indie authors with successful book series and published articles. They have various areas of interest / expertise.

Could we look at the relationship between vikings and the Byzantine Empire under Basil II?

Well…my TBR list just got longer!

I'd like to know more about the current belief levels in skandanavia. how much of skandinavia still believe in the old gods and how much is still being practiced, compared to the Christian aspect. Along with how much of skandanavia truly welcome their history over tourism. like if I was mayor of a small town, and I don't know Elvis was born there and I'd only just found out, I could promote that for tourism and claim that as a town of historic importance.

another interesting one for me is the potential of interaction between the norse and knights templar, there's a tv show I've been watching (oak island) that is trying to link the norse with helping the templars travel to the new world, viking artifacts and runes have been found there along with samples of wood/metal scientifically tested to have been from skandanavia. would be interesting to hear if this was true and the relationships between the two cultures/belief systems.

How about the viking settlements of Orkney, Shetland and Western mainland Scotland (Galloway). These where the first settled and last left. I would be interest to look at the mingling of Scandinavian and Scots/pictish culture, art and language.

This is a fantastic idea. I'd join a Nordic Mythology tour, if that ever happens!
