This week it's three doctors and one Daniel, as Mathias is joined by fellow scholars Rune Rasmussen, and Australian scholar Tyson Yunkaporta! Regular listeners will know Rune from his previous appearances in episodes 35, and 94. And Tyson is new to the show, but his expertise as a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne is sure to come in handy during the discussion. Topics this week include: The Aun Year, what is it? What does that even mean? And why conspiracy theories like Qanon keep adopting Nordic Mythology. Sounds complicated enough!
If you would like to hear more from Rune you can find everything you need including links to his instagram and youtube at: nordicanimism.com/home1
