Welcome to the Nordic mythology podcast, I'm Daniel Farond of the company Hans Verde on the

Company Hans Vaudin. As always before we're getting into the show I do have to do a little bit of housekeeping because it's how we keep the lights on.

So if you are able to jump over to our patron, It's just patron false slash Nordic mythology

podcast from a three pound a month you can get a bonus episode every single

week and that is usually a Q&A episode we do with the guest right after the main show.

You can submit your questions in lifetime through the live chat or ahead of time through the patron.

You also get ad free episodes, early access to all the episodes.

You can watch them live like I just mentioned and you also get access to our discord server,

which is a lovely little community that we've built over the years.

We're also going to be adding a story time episode to that tier as well. That's something we're going to be doing in the new year. We're going to do a whole

shake up and add a bunch of new things that jump on now and check at all the old stuff that's

available on there.

And if you aren't able to support us financially,

it gets through the patron, another way

is just to like and share our things on social media, drop us a comment, just let people know about the

podcast. It helps. But new people, listeners find the podcast and just helps us keep growing and going in the right direction.

And that's just not even a mythology podcast across all the different channels.

But today I have a very special guest. He is a behind the scenes worker on the podcast as well as his own little

intellectual, scholarly, mastermind, you a PhD candidate right now, Bob?

Yes.

So it is Bob Van Stryen, he's going to correct me on the pronunciation because my mouth doesn't make the little noise that his does.

So Bob, do you want to clean your name up I guess?
