This week Daniel and Mathias sat down with Jack Donovan to talk a bit about his thoughts on the role of men in the Viking age. We realize this might not be everyone's cup of tea and for those of you who (deservedly) have some doubts we encourage you to listen to the first 6 minutes or so before drawing your own conclusions.
Together they'll discuss what is meant to be a viking man, the answers are surprisingly grounded and center around owning land and their ability to work. We'll also dig (no pun intended) into the topic of Bog Bodies and how the "science" of them being homosexuals is actually Nazi propaganda to justify their ruthless persecution of gays.
Also, we know the ads are terrible this week, we are working on getting some transition music and better mics. Here's our Patreon if you'd like to help with that, conveniently one of the first perks is an add free version of the episode. We certainly appreciate any and all help.
