Summary

Sigurboði is back to talk about his new single with Mathias and Daniel, but that's not all. First and foremost he's here to give us the hard truth about the runes! Are they magical? Can you use them as a compass? Did they come straight from Odin or take a roundabout journey through Portugal? The answers may surprise you. Together they also cover some very important other topics like: Why are sheep so sturdy? What do the Norse dwarves actually look like? And most importantly can a peasant take out a knight who has been knocked off a horse? The answers will be as complicated as they are amusing.

Also if you have not check out Mathias's new book! It's Norse myths for kids, what's not to like?
