Today, I'm delighted to announce the return of The Myth Legend & Lore Podcast! Joining me, is a very special guest... the wonderful Rowdy Geirsson, as we dicuss his exceptional book The Impudent Edda!

"Start with a deeply layered set of myths. Invite the best storyteller you know in the greater Boston area. Add alcohol (even more than the myths already contain), and you get The Impudent Edda. Geirsson combines deep knowledge of Norse mythology and a skeptical irreverence for its norms (and norns), building a world of Chevy-driving, street-brawling, and bar-crawling Massachus-Æsir that remains delightfully familiar to fans of the vikings and their tales." -John Sexton, Professor of English at Bridgewater State University and co-host of the Saga Thing podcast

"The text throughout is caustic, demotic and profanity-laden, as though our narrator isn't some hoary-bearded viking bard sitting by the fireside but a modern guy shooting the breeze with buddies over a beer. The result is a smart, lovingly rendered blend of academia and pastiche." -Financial Times
