Summary

It's a good old fashioned scholarly debate this week as Arngrimur Vidalin, a fellow Old Norse Literature expert, sits down with Mathias and Daniel to talk about his many exciting translation projects.
As it turns out Arngrimur is involved in a lot of really cool stuff right now including: translating Alice in Wonderland into ancient Norse, gathering material for a new book on the monsters of the saga literature and how they shaped ancient race theory, and most immediately Old Norse For Modern Times a book of your favorite modern sayings translated into Old Norse. There should still be a few days if you want to check out the Kickstater and back it, then you too can say awesome stuff like:
"Meira mælti Wagner af kappi en viti!"
"Wagner has a lot to answer for!"
Also find out the name of the best hat shop in Copenhagen. Cheers!

0:00.0	Before we jump into the show, I just want to give a quick announcement.
0:03.6	Recently you may have noticed that we've been experimenting with adding adverts to some of our
0:07.4	episodes. Now this isn't something that we necessarily want to do, but unfortunately to be able to take the
0:13.5	podcast to the next level it's something that we have to start exploring.
0:17.7	At the moment myself and Mateus record the podcast as a hobby.
0:21.8	We also have an amazing edit to Shan who edits every episode and he has been doing so for free.
0:27.5	However, we feel that we are now at the peak level where the podcast can go without having some sort of revenue to be able to
0:34.6	invest in better equipment and pay staff. We understand that adverts can be annoying.
0:40.8	So we will do our absolute best to keep them to a minimum and also keep them from being too intrusive.
0:46.0	We'll also try to choose adverse that are the most relevant to you guys as the listeners.

1:04.4	Patreon platform. We really appreciate you bearing with us whilst we just try out
1:09.7	these different avenues to find out which one not only works for us but also works for you guys as
1:14.3	the listener. Thank you for supporting us and thank you for sticking with us. This
