b'Still full from the epic meal of\\xa0Njal\'s Saga, John and Andy turn to lighter\\xa0fare. \\xa0In this episode of Saga Thing, we follow Thorstein the White as he grows older and older and older. \\xa0Along the way, he has some children and loses his beloved wife. \\xa0To make matters worse, he also loses his eyesight, which makes running the farm a bit more difficult. \\xa0Fortunately, his son Thorgils is there to pick up the slack...until he\'s killed in a local disagreement between Thorstein the Fair and his rival Einar. \\xa0How will Thorstein the White get on without his trusted son? \\xa0Who will raise little Brodd-Helgi Thorgilsson? \\xa0And whose saga is this anyway? \\xa0Listeners will find a lot more here about Thorstein the Fair and Einar than they will Thorstein the White. \\xa0Nevertheless, join us as Saga Thing takes on The Saga of Thorstein the White!\\nMusic Credits:\\nIntro Music\\xa0-\\xa0"Prelude and Action" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)\\nEpisode Summary\\xa0- "Iron Horse" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)\\nOutro Music\\xa0-\\xa0"Stormfront"\\xa0by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)\\nSelections from music by Kevin MacLeod licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/'
