E44 - The Northpeople w/ Lauren Poyer
A podcast from Daniel Bessner and Derek Davison that provides listeners with everything they need to know about what’s going on in the world.

They're then joined by Lauren Poyer (29:24), assistant teaching professor at the University of Washington, to discuss the movie The Northman, what it gets right and wrong, Viking legends’ influence on American mythology, and the history of the Vikings more broadly.
