Summary

This week we have a huge surprise for all our listerners! We had to keep it a secret because We didn't even know if it would happen but now the cat's out of the bag. This week Mathias and Daniel are honoured to be sitting down with Alexander Ludwig, who you may know from his new series Heels, The Hunger Games, or perhaps most relevant to this show Bjorn Ragnarson from Vikings! Obviously we can't waste an opportunity like this so we'll be discussing the historical differences between Bjorn on the show and Bjorn from the saga literature, as well as Alexander's fun stories from being on set. For once things are not complicated it's just a straight up win win all around!
