Norse Mythology - The Children of Odin Part 3
Digest
This podcast episode begins with a short advertisement for Burger King's $5 and $7 deals (US only, restrictions apply). It then transitions to a brief, incomplete interview with someone named "Crust" about Uncrustables. The majority of the episode focuses on Norse mythology. The first story details Frey's infatuation with the giant maiden Gertr, leading him to sacrifice his magic sword to win her hand. This involves a messenger named Skinneer and Gertr's eventual arrival in Asgard. The second Norse myth recounts Skandy's blindfolded selection of a husband from Asgard, unexpectedly choosing Njord, Frey's father, rather than a more conventionally attractive option. The story concludes with details about Frey's daughter, Little Nossa, and Heimdall's recounting of creation myths.
