“I would die for these ducks.”

Queer author of queer stories Fran McMahon (they/them) returns to the pod to muse about the most mid place in all the realms: Midgard.
Other topics include the unfortunate optics of the “Vikings reached the United States” theory, lore behind a duckling statue that helped ease US-Soviet tensions during the end of the Cold War, the base elements of the realms AKA some dead dude, speculation regarding the length of a world-circling serpent, DJ’s new favorite inappropriate slang, DJ’s BIG FEELINGS about which system of measurement should be used for weather, and Fran’s AMAZING new book that you need to pre-order RIGHT NOW!!
