Ep 33 - The Anatomy of Dragons with Jonas Lau Markussen

This week Mathias and Daniel get to seriously nerd out with Joans Lau Markussen author of The Anatomy of Viking Art the book which helped get Daniel started designing his mead horns. Together Jonas and Mathias will cover tons of Viking art history theories from Lindisfarne to the existence of Dragons. It's going to be a good time. We know we've been doing a lot of serious themed episodes recently and we really appreciate people hearing what we have to say. One of the big reasons Mathias and Daniel started this podcast in the first place was to educate people, not just about the myths, but also how these ancient traditions are being carried forward, both the good and the bad. We feel we've done that pretty well with our last batch of episodes, but this next batch is going to be more focused on Viking history and culture and less on contemporary social issues. Frankly we all could use a break, and we thought you all might appreciate one as well.Also this week Mathias gets to try out his new mic setup  for the first time thanks to our amazing supporters over at Patreon!
