Daniel Farrand

Have you ever wondered "What is a Viking?", "Were Vikings tattooed?" or "Did they ever REALLY use the Blood Eagle? If so, then this is the right podcast for YOU.

In this podcast, follow along Daniel Farrand's (Owner of Horns of Odin) journey as he tries to make sense of the complex history of the Viking Age and Nordic Mythology, through easy to digest, funny, natural (and often very honest) conversations. 

Daniel is joined by Co-Host (and in house archaeologist) Margrethe Havgar, as the pair are joined by a host of guests; which include world leading scholars and Viking Age creators, to world renowned musicians and movie stars. 

So, if you've ever asked "Were Runes used for magic?" or "is Thor REALLY the only person who can lift his hammer?". We'll definitely have an episode on it

But be prepared to be told, "It's Complicated."

Nordic Mythology Podcast

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with The Saxon Storyteller, a very near and dear member of our production team whose amazing art you get to see on each and every one of our episodes! Together with the boys he'll be discussing the Anglo Saxons and their most famous epic poem Beowulf. Will they actually manage to get through a decent summary of the poem, or will Mathias spend most of the time talking about how Charlemagne actually started the idea of the Crusades? Well... it's complicated.
