3B-Vikings: All that Hate’s Gonna Burn Y...

Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod
About this episode
The Saga of the Volsungs continues, with a princess held captive by the man who killed her father, and her brother roaming the forest waging a covert guerrilla war...or just robbing people for the fun of it? There are berserker werewolves, magic swords, and a battle of really stupid insults between kings. Also, you'll see if a legendary Norse mustache is an effective filter for poisons.
The creature of the week is the fossegrim, a nice guy who loves mutton and teaching people how to play the fiddle.
