Episode 29g - Egil's Saga (Part 7)

Published: May 24, 2019, 3:42 p.m.

b'In this episode, Egil and Thorolf go a-Viking across the Baltic Sea and then up the coast of Sweden. Along the way, Egil falls into a trap set by some clever Curonians, Thorolf makes friends with yet another nobleman, and Queen Gunnhild hatches a plot to kill the sons of Skallagrim. We also discuss torture in the sagas, Viking ethics, time fudging in saga narratives, and the character of the Branno Islands across multiple sagas. We don\'t cover a lot of chapters in this one (get used to it), but we have a lot of fun.\\nMusic Credits:\\nIntro Music\\xa0-\\xa0"Prelude and Action" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)\\nSummary Music - "Don\'t Be That Way" by the Chick Webb Orchestra\\nPreview Music - "Intended Force" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)\\nPoetry Music - Edited selection from "Skjolborg" by Danheim\\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/'
