Summary

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Bob Van Strijen a historian of Nordic Studies and self described "man of mythery." Bob also curates a collection of Nordic themed art on instagram under the name: "Norsefolx," and is a very active member of our discord. Together with the boys Bob will be delving into which of the primary sources are most credible; spoiler the answer is more complicated than you might expect.
