At long last – Monster Science in the city and at a decent hour! A history (with jokes!) of the monsters of Norse mythology! From colossal wolves to serpents that gnaw at the roots of the World Tree, to squirrels that bring nasty messages to and from giant eagles, learn about the fascinating and imaginative creatures of the vikings! Plus PowerPoint!

This week I had the honor of being on the amazing “Just Enough Trope” podcast! We riff on Norse mythology, its obsession with its eschaton, “Thor: Ragnarok,” and my then-great anticipation of goth outer-space Cate Blanchett. (I have seen the film since the recording, and my goth outer-space Cate Blanchett needs were met and exceeded.) Give it a listen! Right here!
