“There’s always a prose section in these poems.”
We’ve come full circle to the topic that almost broke the podcast!
Other topics include Darien spending way too long trying to figure out why Gunilla turned into a swan, Rick Riordan skipping over a very important detail in the Helgi/Hunding “rivalry,” poetic devices that may be responsible for the rumor of valkyries riding on wolves, an uncommon example of incense in Norse mythology, Darien explaining why it’s silly for Gunilla to have turned into a swan, DJ giving a really good reason why Gunilla turned into a swan, and the first example of Swedish literature.

“Hymir, Gam Gam’s not doing so hot.”

Did you know the Bifrost is ON FIRE? We certainly didn’t.
Other topics include the lack of time spent beyond the walls of Hotel Valhalla, Asgard definitely not being Troy, scholarly speculation on the long lost legacy of Tyr, the true classes of humanity, Heimdall being weird (not for the reasons you think), and another rant about Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness (we were due).

“That’s quite the glow up.”
Wellness Thru Reading
It’s a brand new guest! Elliot (any) from The Demigod Pod joins the show to expound on their observations about the gnomes in Medusa’s garden. What better time to do so than in an episode about dwarves and elves in Norse mythology?
Other topics include tricky homophones, some sweet dwarven crafts, casual homicide, the differences (if any) between dwarves and dark elves, Alfheim being uncomfortably Antebellum, pondering the art of turning eyes into jewels, whether Medusa could permanently petrify a dwarf, and more Lord of the Rings/Hobbit inspirations than you can shake a cursed ring at.

“You know what she could have been? A goddamn valkyrie!”
Special guest Kelsey Dody “escapes” from Bunker 9 to join the show on the main feed to discuss the divine twins! No, the other divine twins: Freyr and Freyja!
Other topics include the struggle to pronounce symbols not used in American English, Freyr being down so bad he rejects traditional social decorum, another Rick Riordan OC (Do Not Steal), the conflicting identity of Freyr/Surt’s sword, the crime of Magnus being denied a teacup boar, and Rick Riordan’s baffling decision to base his Freyja off a smear campaign written by 14th-century Christian priests.

“We can’t use this kind of metal in our weapons!”
Wellness Thru Reading
Even the Norse scholars accuse Snorri of making things up! In this episode, Darien (she/her) and DJ (he/him) ask if that is the case when it comes to the Vanir and their home, Vanaheimr.
Other topics include the strange timeline of Nine from the 9 Worlds, whether or not Snorri made up the idea of Vanaheimr, an excellent observation from Carter over at Seaweed Brain Podcast, Thor throwing the harshest, most needless burn at a poetic dwarf, how the Aesir HATE gold, whether or not Snorri made up the idea of the Vanir, a depressing reflection on how an immeasurable number of ancient beliefs were intentionally wiped from human memory, theorizing what the Folkvangr warriors were doing during Ragnarok, a surprisingly amicable Norse divorce, and questioning why all the Norse wikis seem to prefer an incest storyline for no apparent reason.
Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of and conversations about death, murder, impalement, religious zealotry, colonization, incest, and eye injuries.

“He’s just Father from Codename: Kids Next Door!”
Darien (she/her) and DJ (he/him) present the perfect episode for a mid-summer heatwave: Muspelheim, land of lava and fire.
Other topics include the narrative choice to not include the book one villain in book three, origins of the universe, another examination into why stating that “Snorri made it up” fails to grasp the nuisance of oral traditions and evolving cultural mythologies, the importance of choosing translations with care, Surt’s impeccable fashion sense, a poetic description for the thing that ruins branches, and Surt’s theoretical Icelandic volcano demon origins.
Spoilers for Codename: Kids Next Door, SMITE, God of War (2018), Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Thor Dark World, Thor Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, and Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends

“Loki is—I’m assuming—an insecure, jealous dick.”
This week, Darien (she/her) and DJ (he/him) discuss how Baldr, the greatest guy ever, kicked the bucket because Loki just couldn’t deal with not being the center of attention for five minutes.
Other topics include finally being able to read comments from Spotify listeners, Baldr being the god of ????, Loki being a insecure, jealous dick, the oversimplification of stating that Snorri “made it up,” legal ramifications regarding the age of mistletoe, addressing “Norse Jesus” allegations, and an unexpected but passionate defense of Padmé Amidala in the face of “died from a broken heart” slander.

“Snorri’s out here gatekeeping the real Norse mythology.”
Time to take a journey to Hel, which isn't too far from Midgard! That's fortunate since the dead have to arrange their own transportation.
Other topics include actually having the soul of the protagonist's mother before trying to make a deal, Darien leaving the recording not once but twice, directions to Hel, extrapolating cultural meaning from the differences in how souls arrive in the afterlife, Snorri doing his own thing (again), the conflicting requirements for a soul being sent to Hel, how Hel and Hades became Hell, and whether or not the Norse people actual had a goddess with the same name as their icy afterlife.

“Couldn’t think of a name for an all-knowing eagle.”
Yggdrasil, the World Tree, holds all things in its mighty branches. Even this very podcast episode, which features one extra sleepy host!
Other topics include Snorri Sturluson doing whatever he pleases (again), a reminder that Iceland is very far away from Scandinavia, the hosts’ shocking lack of knowledge about trees, key elements of Norse mythology that are NOT native to Iceland, where the “nine worlds” came from, and how the World Tree might not actually hold all things in its mightly branches.

“Ragna-Rock-a-Doodle-Doo.”
All right, let's do this one last time…
Darien (she/her) and DJ (he/him) jump back into Norse Mythology by starting at the very end of all things—or do they?
Other topics include Snorri Sturluson doing whatever he pleases, the Ragnarok Highlight Reel, Darien misremembering key details about an independent live-action/animated musical comedy film from 1991, analyzing if anyone but Odin knows the details of Ragnarok, DJ’s incredible Hadestown-esque approach for a Norse mythology story, what comes after the end of all things, and questioning whether or not Ragnarok has already happened.

“Odin and Mr. Moseby are friends! Canon!”
Darien (she/her) and DJ (he/him) enjoy a romp across the nine realms in a series of delightful, medium-stakes adventures in the short story collection 9 from the Nine Worlds.
Other topics include disappointing art choices, Hearthstone being a top-tier spell slinger, DJ winning the ship war, Amir’s story getting wildly dark, Schrödinger’s joke, a disappointing portrayal of a Celtic warrior queen, interesting accent choices for talking swords, speculation about exactly why Annabeth would tell Magnus to leave Jack at Hotel Valhalla, a brief detour into trying to figure out the timeline of the books and various short stories, and the collection being pretty great overall.

“I’m sure—and this is me again, huffing Hopium—he’s got something planned.”
Set sail to prevent Ragnarok in Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard: The Ship of the Dead!
Other topics include ranking Riordanverse books based on satisfying endings, the injustice of Halfborn Gunderson’s Big Damn Hero Moment happening off-page, the LEGENDARY transcription from Chapter 9 to Chapter 10, the massive crossover story that Riordan is definitely, totally, absolutely going to write… eventually, DJ refusing to let Darien read a whole eight pages, and the hosts’ shared reservations about Magnus and Alex’s relationship (though they absolutely acknowledge these reservations are born out of their own poor relationship experiences).

“I’m thirty. I don’t hang out with sixteen-year-olds who haven’t been to therapy yet.”
The podcast course corrects and dives back into Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard!Other topics include Magnus Chase subverting the expectations for a male hero protagonist, the three-way tie for Worst Parent Ever, an unexpected comparison of an elf and dwarf to heroes of the Iliad, Darien’s struggles to picture settings accurately, how Alex Fierro is a great character who would probably be mean to the hosts, and confess that, at the end of the day, we just want see Percy Jackson.
