Nordic Mythology Podcast Folgen

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Varg Saastad, the lead guitarist and master of many instruments  in the folk rock band Vǫluspá. We've spoken with Varg's partner  Sól Geirsdóttir, perhaps better known by her internet moniker: "The Viking Queen," back in episode 59 (which is also a great listen). Together with the boys Varg will be delving into the personal journey his music has taken him on, as well as his upcoming projects, including a song about Heimdall which features every instrument he knows how to play. That's frankly just a bonkers feat of complexity we can't hope to match!  Check out Vǫluspá's music at: Spotify.com/artist/04sNuGpenIU7aYWLTycRN7You can also find us on Instagram at: www.instagram.com/nordicmythologypodcastAnd if you like what we do, and would like to be in the audience for live streams of new episodes to ask questions please consider supporting us on Patreon:www.patreon.com/NordicMythologyPodcastIf you would like to join our bi-weekly watch-alongs where Mathias and Daniel watch and commentate along with the popular series Vikings, or get access to our special Storytime episodes covering the saga literature, then all you have to do is join our Patron.

 This week  Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Helena Hals, perhaps better known by her internet moniker Viking Helena. Helena is a historian and author known for her hands-on approach to exploring Iron Age Norway. Together with the boys she'll be discussing the history of the Sámi tribes in Northern Norway, which is a subject we have not really touched on before in the show, but are really excited to get into. Will the topic be fascinating enough to finally make Dan listen to an episode of the show? Well, it's complicated.If you would like to get your hands on Helena's book about how an Iron Age village actually functioned you can find it at: Vikingsofthenorth.com/storeJust enter the code: "NORDICMYTHOLOGY" at checkout for a special discount for listeners of our show, the code is valid for the whole month of September!You can also find us on Instagram at: www.instagram.com/nordicmythologypodcastAnd if you like what we do, and would like to be in the audience for live streams of new episodes to ask questions please consider supporting us on Patreon:www.patreon.com/NordicMythologyPodcastIf you would like to join our bi-weekly watch-alongs where Mathias and Daniel watch and commentate along with the popular series Vikings, or get access to our special Storytime episodes covering the saga literature, then all you have to do is join our Patron.

 We are headed back to the good old days this week on NMP as Mathias and Daniel sit down with Gustav Holberg and Kjell Braaten , two of the OG musicians who helped start the genre we now know as, "Viking Music." Together with the boys they'll be sharing stories of their humble beginnings at a millenium new years party, and marveling at how huge the scene has become propelled by bands like Wardruna and Heilung.  How did we get here from there? Well, it's complicated.If you would like to listen to Gustav's experiments with psychedelic electro-folk you can find his stuff over at: Astralsynergy.comAnd if you would like to purchase Kjell's latest album or listen to some of his and Gustav's older stuff both can be found at: Kjellbraaten.bandcamp.comYou can also find us on Instagram at: www.instagram.com/nordicmythologypodcastAnd if you like what we do, and would like to be in the audience for live streams of new episodes to ask questions please consider supporting us on Patreon:www.patreon.com/NordicMythologyPodcastIf you would like to join our bi-weekly watch-alongs where Mathias and Daniel watch and commentate along with the popular series Vikings, or get access to our special Storytime episodes covering the saga literature, then all you have to do is join our Patron.
