Dr. Crawford teaches courses about Old Norse, Norse Mythology, and the Vikings, and he is the translator of the version of the Poetic Edda that we read on the Northern Myths Podcast. We discuss his background, the process of translating the Poetic Edda and other Old Norse literature, as well as the importance of learning about mythology.  Dr. Crawford's excellent edition of the Poetic Edda can be purchased here: The Poetic Edda Translated by Jackson Crawford Dr. Crawford's website: https://jacksonwcrawford.com/ Dr. Crawford's popular YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/jacksoncrawford This is the Northern Myths Podcast, an archetypal exploration of the myths and legends of Northern Europe.
