Today's episode is sponsored by CuriosityStream, a documentary and nonfiction TV streaming service.

When I was younger, I would spend nearly every day of the summer indoors watching

historical documentaries. I absolutely loved it. And indeed, it was those documentaries that sparked

my passion in love for history.

In part, the reason why I'm doing this podcast is a result of the love and passion of history

that I first encountered in the documentaries I'd watch on TV when I was younger.

I would watch everything from PBS to BBC, you know, anything I could get my hands on.

Documentary is about Vikings, certainly, but I was fascinated with films across a variety of historical time periods.

I honestly feel a little bit deprived of my childhood, because at the time I didn't know that Curiosity Stream existed.

Now, Curiosity Stream offers a vast array of excellently produced historical films, but of great interest to you will be their show

Viking women.

This film follows the journey of Yova, a young Viking woman who goes searching for her

warrior father.

Her quest takes us to the Viking communities transitioning to kingdoms and those undergoing the conversion to Christianity at the end of the 11th century.

As summer is approaching, it is very nice to be outdoors, but I know there are certainly days when I like to stay away from the heat and look forward to taking

full advantage of CuriosityStream. The brilliant thing about CuriosityStream is that if you

follow the link in the description of today's episode, you'll save 25% off an annual subscription,

which is only 1499 for an entire year.

That's right, not $14.99 a month, $14.99 for an entire year's worth of historical documentaries.

I mentioned Viking women, but other films on Curiosity Stream include William the Conqueror,

the Celts, the history of English, and after Braveheart.

After Braveheart is the untold story of how a Scottish army tried to drive the English out of Ireland 700 years ago.
