“Ever wonder what the 'Vikings' did when they weren't busy raiding? Better yet, have you ever just wanted to sit back, drink a beer, and listen to stories about Viking valor, magical swords with pet snakes, and epic battles atop bloated whale carcasses? Well this is it. You've found your long-lost gem in the form of a podcast.
But the stories told here aren’t the only thing that make Saga Thing so great, although fighting on a whale is pretty hard to beat. The hosts of this podcast, John and Andy, are among the most praiseworthy people I know. These gallant goðar are not only bearded professors of medieval literature, but they are also great guys who love medieval Iceland and Vikings as much as we do. Heck, they’ll even have a beer with you, if you ask them (I had such an honor in Reykjavík last year). Their goofy shilly-shallying will not only bring you great entertainment, but you’ll also learn so much about the medieval literature that the Vikings’ ancestors left behind.
It’s a podcast you don’t want to miss, so grab a beer and get listening—though, you might want to bring your axe, just in case Things get messy.”Read full review »

These guys don’t just know the sagas, they understand very well how this particular literary form works. As academics in the field, they provide deep observations about the...”Read full review »

“Quite frankly, I never was a big fan of podcasts at all until this one. Listened to many, on many subjects that I enjoyed, but I never really got into a podcast until this one. These guys really know their stuff, and present the material in an extremely accessible way, making all kinds of jokes...”Read full review »
