Description
In this episode, we talk all about Norse Mythology, creatures, and lore. First, Cody discusses the Draugar, a zombie-like creature that can shape-shift and eats livestock to ruin our lives. Then, Chris talks all about the gigantic cephalopod known as the Kraken (it’s actually Norse, not Greek!). Next, Cody shares a very funny legend about the god Thor and his day in drag. Finally, Chris tells us about legends and beliefs centered around one of the most beautiful phenomena of nature: the Northern Lights. Creep of the Week is an article about Vikings in America. This week’s drinks/snacks are Ménage à Trois Sultry Red and Swedish Fish.
