Summary

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Alex and Jeremy, the organizers of the metal and folk music festival Fire in the Mountains. Fire in the Mountains is a celebratory event with music, art, camping, adventuring, education, socializing, and local food and is an amazing place to, as Einar Selvik said it: "Sow new seeds while strengthening old roots.”

Of course they're not just here to talk about all the awesome stuff that goes on at Fire in the Mountains. Other topics this week include: Explaining what a dude ranch is to Daniel, the connection between metal festivals and interest in Vikings, and finally a pretty killer recipe for glogg courtesy of Alex's grandpa Ralph.

0:48.0	Yeah, you're wanting to introduce some, not one-on-one but small group lectures on specific subjects which I think
0:57.6	would be amazing patrons would absolutely love that I would absolutely love that you
1:02.3	know half an hour topic of you just
1:04.8	running without me interrupting on a subject has to be has to be perfect you know who's not going to to love that.

1:13.8	podcast, maybe like we mentioned something about Vikingships or something that
1:17.7	has to do with the mythology and and people want to know more about that and

1:50.4	episode we're still undecided 100% of what it's going to be but it looks like it's going to be a conversational type episode where the imitates just get a little bit more personal about ourselves, but also we're going to get let people have the chance to ask questions Q&A whether it's about the
2:04.7	podcast or about us and you're going to be able to put your question to us through
2:08.2	Patreon and then we're going to have a little bonus episode where we explore those and people get a little bit more interactive with those which I think would be fun for the for the fans.
2:17.0	Yeah, absolutely I mean one of the things that I feel like I'm seeing with our audience is that they really like to be interactive with us. So we're trying to offer as many opportunities on our platform to do that outside of social media otherwise because that can get a little much sometimes.
