This week Daniel and Mathias sat down with Jack Donovan to talk a bit about his thoughts on the role of men in the Viking age. We realize this might not be everyone's cup of tea and for those of you who (deservedly) have some doubts we encourage you to listen to the first 6 minutes or so before drawing your own conclusions.Together they'll discuss what is meant to be a viking man, the answers are surprisingly grounded and center around owning land and their ability to work. We'll also dig (no pun intended) into the topic of Bog Bodies and how the "science" of them being homosexuals is actually Nazi propaganda to justify their ruthless persecution of gays. Also, we know the ads are terrible this week, we are working on getting some transition music and better mics. Here's our Patreon if you'd like to help with that, conveniently one of the first perks is an add free version of the episode. We certainly appreciate any and all help.

We all know that every Viking ever was a barrel chested, big bearded, lady killer (sometimes literally). But is that really the case? How realistic is it to believe that every viking for almost 300 years had a knotty spear shaft only for Freya? This week Mathias and Daniel sit down with Amy Jefford Franks a fellow historian and host of the awesome, "Vikings Are Gay!" podcast. Together they will be discussing topics like: What happens when a group of men are on a boat together for a long time?Why the insult "bottom" in saga literature is more about bucking social norms and less a description of certain recreational activities.And the unfortunate white supremacist influence left in viking scholarship by Nazi's, as well as how to begin addressing it. It's honestly a wild ride and we hope you enjoy!Also check us out 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 Q&A Episodes in the new year, or get access to our special Story Time episodes covering the saga literature, then all you have to do is join our Patron.
